The Kiss of Life

History Daily

A man named Rocco Morabito happened to be driving down West 26 Street when he saw an incredibly strange sight, especially back in 1967. Two men were hanging off a telephone pole in what looked to be a passionate kiss, but Morabito was soon going to find out that what he thought was two men sharing an intimate moment was actually a life-saving event. Randall G. Champion and J.D. Thompson were utility line workers when Champion accidentally touched a live wire and got knocked out. Thompson quickly moved to action and did CPR to save his life. Morabito even shared of the event, “I heard screaming. I looked up and I saw this man hanging down. Oh my God. I didn’t know what to do. I took a picture right quick. J.D. Thompson was running toward the pole. I went to my car and called an ambulance. I got back to the pole and J.D. was breathing into Champion. I backed off, way off until I hit a house and I couldn’t go any farther. I took another picture. Then I heard Thompson shouting down: He’s breathing!”
