I feel like the train operators also seen gnarly stuff at their job. They probably have animal strikes all the time and or have seen people directly get hit by trains at crossings. So they’re probably somewhat been a round some stuff before
@@LouSassles many train operators can recount stories of seeing the faces of the victims hit. It is 100% something that about half of them have been witness to, whether their eyes were open or not.
@@LouSassles I used to do contract work for CSX, the amount of suicides by train are shockingly high. In the roughly 6 months I worked with them I transported probably 10 crews due to train strikes, just about all of them were intentional.
@@Candycandis as a train “operator” (Engineer/Conductor) we are trained on situations like this on exactly how to handle contacting 911. The railroad industry is an extremely dangerous place to work, so we are all trained on exactly what to do in these situations.
I'm an ICU nurse and I can tell you that that cop is extremely well trained from a medical perspective. He applies the tourniquets, checks for pulse, consciousness, and orientation, checks his neurological status, and avoids moving him to prevent further spinal injuries. Well done man!
Imagine you are laying there, and somebody finally comes to rescue you, and they say your foot is on the other side of the track. Absolutely terrifying.
When the Officer hears the helicopter coming and says under his breath..."Thank God." My heart.....he was SO there for that guy!! I wish him every good thing in life.
I'm just impressed by that guy's ability to not freak the fuck out when he's faced with a double amputee in the middle of nowhere and the ambulance copter more than half an hour away.
did you notice how calm and cool his voice was the whole time. It's like it was just another day at work. Unbelievable. I would have lost my shit before ever getting off the train. A big nope for me. Guess that's why Im not a cop or a nurse, Im not built for all the suffering and how to deal with it. How do you just then go home, eat dinner and play with the kids? It's amazing to me, they should get automatic mental health care. Dont even wait for them to ask, just assume it's needed.
Imagine you really can't show how freaked out you are though it may seem you are. Plus you can't voice out any emotion you can in front of the victim. Neither can you puke or vomit coz of the scene. You really can't say shit or look shit in front of him. That takes tremendous amount of self-restraint. That's real professionalism to Deputy Nelson. Man, what a legend.
For a change an officer did exactly what would be expected from a professional police officer , sadly there would be 100's of other officers asking him for his ID and telling he is under arrest for being on private property , promotion to sergeant for this man.
“If you guys are down with it, I’m willing to carry him as far as i can”. Tells you all you need to know about his character. Above and beyond what police officers offer on medical aids nowadays
I was comforted by Ty, and I am only experiencing this on my couch. I can only imagine how important those words and a hand to squeeze would have been for Victor.
I was just thinking about the woman Sonya Massey who was shot by police they left her there to die with no comfort. Even if they thought that there is nothing they could do just to sit there and say I’m sorry we’re here. We’re gonna do what we can would’ve been the best thing to do for someone who’s dying.
That's hard to believe since I've never heard of police just leaving someone to die. They've always tried to save the lives of people that have been shot even if they're a criminal that has tried to kill them.
@@eternity68 discounting someone's experiences/abilities just because it's a part of the responsibilities they've taken on is a thought process I'll never understand
This deputy did every single thing right. Literally every procedure was textbook perfection. The fact he joined the force only a couple months back is unbelievable. Man needs to get promoted
He'd say it was all part of the job. My step Dad and I came up on a HORRIBLE one car wreck one day when I was about 12. The woman driver was OBVIOUSLY gone, and it was GRISLY. The male passenger was still breathing laying in the ditch by the car. My Step dad grabbed me by the shoulders and said "OK, I need you to help me. We don;t have time to freak out. Do you understand? And I nodded yes. I helped him stabilize the man and then he sent me running to a farmhouse for help (No cell phones in 1974). I sat on the porch of that farm and puked my guts out. Then I rode back to the scene. My step dad called me a hero and I said NO WAY. I was too scared. He said "Heroes are usually cowards left with no alternatives" LOL
@@gaffyduck7491 100% agree. First responders sometimes over shadow the complete wisdom of someone else involved who was the kindling to the fire. May light be shined upon the train operator ❤️
Blowing my mind to randomly click on this, to discover a) I know exactly where this is, as I grew up there, and b) I know the officer involved as he's a close family friend!
I just found out he was a Navy man for 9 years. Lots of experience with critical things. I knew by his demeanor he was military! Great job Tyrail Nelson! You sir are one of the good guys!
Right you can tell immediately when a cop has good training as I was a medic/ firefighter 27 years and some cops who are in scene are fabulous and you know they’ve had some type of army training or was an EMT or medic prior, where I worked they were crossed trained ..
It is the universe's way of balance the other insanity we see human beings do!! If that's you in the profile pic, I must say that you are a very beautiful person!!! Just thought you might like to be reminded of that! A smile a day ...
part of the deputy died with that man. That feeling of weight, and empathy is excruciating, it takes a good person to stay and give... giving more than you can imagine.
Bro, I’ve done my fair share of buddy drags and carries in my 8y in the army. A mile long carry is absolutely insane even with his legs gone. We definitely never went more than 2-500 meters. Huge respect to these officers
I can back this up. I got thrown during a extreme gust on my kite years ago when I was learning 50 knots plus, threw me into a carpark. Broke my shoulder, coccyx, dragged my face along the road with rocks stuck in both eyes. I couldnt move and didn't feel any pain until about 20 minutes later at the hospital - the morphine was very nice
This officer has the greatest voice I've ever heard he doesn't try to entice panic on Victor or anything he keeps the same tone and keeps himself and everyone calm. This officer is just absolutely the best!
@@dwells37 If anything “good” can come out of this tragedy , it’s that this man didn’t die alone . Just the voice of the officer and his compassion and reassurance, made all the difference. May he R. I. P and going by all the lovely people on here who responded with kindness, seems our World is still a place of humanity .🤲🏼
my boss owns a tow truck company, super machismo man, he heard a huge crash up the road from his tow yard, runs out there, a woman got hit on her motorcycle and her leg was completely blown off up to her upper thigh. He said people were trying to help but were running away as they saw the damage, he stayed with her, took off his belt, made it into a tourniquet and sat with her as EMS arrived. She survived and they said if he hadn't made that tourniquet she would've died. They're still friends to this day, she calls him often, says he's her angel. I have so much respect for these people and the shit they witness/attend to every day.
The first time you hear him on bodycam with the operator coming back with EMTs, he sucks in a shaky breath. Sounding so scared in the midst of shock broke my heart.
@@rubycube1506 pretty close, add to that the extreme pressure, it essentially seals the veins closed by pressure, it does this so well people been cut in half below the diaphragm and lived long enough to talk to the responders, now that is tragic as you are absolutely done for and have time to think about it.
When arteries are clearly severed they constrict automatically. With trauma when they're ripped apart is when they bleed profusely. Great work by the Deputy ! A true hero. God bless them both. Xx
the steal fuses your body back together from the heat my friends mum did it and she failed attempt it just cutt her leggs off and fused her skin back together
I found an update on the Sheriff's office facebook page and it said "The gentleman that lost his legs in the train incident, that Deputy Nelson assisted was alive and hospitalized when we last had contact with him well after the event. Members of our agency traveled to Reno to meet with him the hospital several times and we also kept in touch with his nurses for awhile monitoring his recovery." Date posted August 8th.
When they spoke about the dog in a backpack I automatically knew that he was a TRAIN HOPPER and he had fallen off a train. God bless this man and his poor dog.
@bobbobsin3202 If a person's character is bad, nothing will change it. Being on camera, his insincerity will be evident, even if he tries to cover it. No, this officer is always above and beyond. He actually knew what to do before help arrived.
It was windy there & probably cold but it didn't deter Deputy NELSON from removing is own jacket to ensure poor Victor was comfortable ... I imagine if it had been my family member lying there how eternally grateful I would have been for all the care, comfort, love & reassurance of these loving words " I will be here with you , I won't leave you here alone " How reassuriing were these words to Victor that we would never know , since there is no update abt. what had happened to him ...I sincerely hope & Pray that he survived & to tell his story 🙏🙏🙏 I would never like to be left alone in the bush in the dark with a dying man not nowing how long any help will arrive! He was truly a brave man !!! Blessings & love to this AMAZING, SELFLESS MAN & his family 🙏❤🙏
I’m sorry but those medics (EMTs hopefully paramedics) are so unskilled. No stretcher, rubbing her eye with a contaminated glove, talking about how carrying him is going to be a b*ch right in front of Victor, not even talking directly to Victor or trying to comfort him…. How could they NOT bring a stretcher?! Thank you Deputy Nelson for treating him like a person and being willing to do anything necessary.
@@beanybabyrabie Bold of you to criticize behind a screen. They didn’t have many options with the situation. This is a traumatic experience to go through and they deal with it often. Be grateful for those who’s job may save your life one day
@@MyerFallMedical professionals aren’t immune to criticism. Thinking this way is EXACTLY what causes medical malpractice. These specific people were extremely unprofessional and their behavior was gross.
Both of you guys are right in your respective categories. They're professional; they should know how to handle this. Then again, they're human. This is a far, far ideal setting, even if they're supposed to be prepared for everything. But this? Insane. Their attitudes are definitely not the best, but understandable.
Some random off duty firefighter saved my life after I had an accident in my motorcycle. My leg was almost lost thank him for his speedy thinking and putting a tourniquet. Two days later the surgeon tells me I was lucky to be alive after how much blood I lost.
I am so glad that you survived. Six years ago, my late son was taking a last ride on a dirt bike he planned to sell on a dirt road. He collided with a man driving a truck at a blind intersection. After my son hit his truck and flew 150 feet into a ditch, the young man who was a paramedic immediately called all surrounding emergency services and rendered aid. He was transported to a local hospital and later airlifted to advanced trauma care where he sadly passed on days later. I am so grateful to this young man who even came to my son's funeral visitation to comfort us. He explained in detail what happened at the accident scene. He checks in on me on Facebook. I am grateful for all the paramedics who rendered aid, particularly the one who rode with my son to the hospital and related my son's last moments while he was conscious. Heroes surround us. I am convinced that there are no coincidences.
I rolled a car across 2 lanes of i84 and it was called in as a fatality the man who came to clean up the scene soon learned I was conscious and alive everyone who helped me that day were awesome I was partially scalped skull exposed and shattered my shoulder joint and had a broken rib that was hitting my collarbone. It was the worst thing I ever survived. But everyone I came in contact with were amazing. I also almost had to have blood transfusions due to blood loss and had a bleed on my brain. I ended up with 30 plus stitches and 20 staples and a stabilizer bar in my shoulder that needs a total shoulder replacement and have partially severed nerves in my face and head.
Sounds like a friend of mine. He was riding his motorcycle to work when a diesel cut in front of him. The metal sliced his right leg off completely tho. It just so happened a off duty fire fighter was right behind him. He jumped out and put a tourniquet on and saved his life. He was up and walking with a walker the next day. It hasn’t stopped him. Everyone was impressed with his speedy recovery and his will to keep going.
I sincerely hope Victor is still alive and well. 🥺 I can’t even imagine what it must’ve been like for that poor man. Every minute must have seemed like an hour to him, and the pain he suffered must have been absolutely horrendous too. 🤢
More people would aspire to be first responders if it paid accordingly. You make more at McDonald’s then you do as an EMT where I live. It’s crazy to me. The mental health trauma you put yourself thru doing the job alone deserves good pay, add the education they need and physical training. Minimum wage, or barely above it, isn’t fair at all.
@@luciusbrutus13th what lie? I was studying to become one until I realized the pay cut I can’t afford to take and I’m already in the poverty level. IMO first responders should be making more then a livable wage (which were all entitled to) but something more then that. People can’t base their careers on just passion. Pay is the biggest deciding factor when many are living check to check. That’s not a lie, that’s reality. My local area: EMT base salary: $36,138 to $45,795 McDonalds salary: $44,177
I haven't seen a formal obituary for him, only a report on some site. Actual obituaries for guys of the same name don't seem to fit, so I don't know if he has actually passed.
@@maykay9516 Honestly I doubt it. The post of the police in this video states that the deputy "helped preserve this man's life". This was 3 weeks after the incident and there's no mention of the guy passing away.
I'm very impressed with the railway worker. I'm sure they have specific training for people that get hit but he did a great job of being clear and concise to 911 and it was super smart to prepare by moving the train back towards the medic before they arrived. He gave them potentially several extra minutes to treat the guy in a situation where even seconds can make a difference.
i completely agree! I think that railroad worker also deserved an award or honourable mention? Hopefully his employer recognized him, at the very least! The worker was super helpful and considerate as well as keeping himself together in such a horrific situation. RIP to Victor's dog, whether he died before or after 💙 God bless Victor and all involved in this rescue!
@@XBLAxDigital people out there are different. More old fashioned, practical, experienced, and skilled compared to those we see in everyday life in the urban areas
I work for BNSF and from what I’ve seen we don’t get any kind of training as far as helping the individual. I’ve been told we aren’t supposed to move them however if the person lost a leg then I don’t see why someone wouldn’t make a tourniquet and try to control the loss of blood before a cop or ems arrived. You can use a shirt, and a stick or something solid and long to get the tightness necessary to at least slow and control it. I do know we had a guy get pinned between two knuckles and it was a situation where he would die once they separate so they got his family out to say goodbye and they let him go while still pinned with his wife by his side.
I know for a fact alot of guys in that sort of dangerous work whenever they see something they sort of tend to block it or unsee it after reporting it.. it's sort of a way to cope and not fall apart when seeing so many tragedies..
The best thing in a situation like this is talk to the person who is suffering (talk about the weather, your favorite food etc.) stay with them (even when the medics turn up, you are their point of reference), and keep them warm. Try not to move them and try not to ask too many questions that require a verbal answer. You don't need to be doctor or a nurse, you just need to be kind. I went through a similar accident, the pain was unbearable. My body was twisted in ways I didn't think was possible. I stayed alive because a kind shop keeper stayed with me and talked about liquor and the weather 😅. He held my hand and put his jacket over my body. I felt safe dispite laying on a busy road. He helped me get into the ambulance. I don't know his name, but I will be forever grateful for what he did for me.
As an RN, I have stayed with four people on the roads after catastrophic accidents, until medics arrived. Two died as I spoke to them. Two were saved. I was glad I could be there for them, doing what I could to assess them and reassure them. I worked on a young soldier on a commercial flight, who fainted in the aisle. I asked him if he was dehydrated. He said, “yes, ma’am. We just finished basic and did some partying.” I made him stay flat in the aisle as I started an IV and got two liters of fluid in him before we landed. All his “men” (my God, they looked so young) thanked me. I have more field stories, but lucky for me, most of my patients were in the controlled environment of the hospital. Deputy Nelson performed well.
@@richardchargingcloud6590What purpose does it serve to baselessly suggest that? Does it devalue the toughness it takes to remain conscious after becoming a double amputee, in your eyes?
@andrewandrew569 Most cops are awesome. And they have to deal with scumbags all the time who have victim mentality. I don't want cops rubbing criminals bellies to make them feel better. If ur breaking the law, own up to it and go to jail quietly. Cops are too soft imo. It's no surprise with the defund the police movement
@@JackPeloquin Didn’t they have a case last year or something where they came to the conclusion that cops didn’t have to save/help people? Something bizarre like that.
This hits hard. My best friend was hit and killed by a train 12 years ago and nobody was there to comfort him in his final moments. RIP john, still think about you every day.
My 8 year old grandson fell thru an old plate glass window. He caught his fall with his upper arm. The glass stopped when it hit bone. My son pulled off his shirt, made a tourniquet, threw his son in his truck and drove to the hospital. Grandson has had a couple surgeries to repair muscles, arteries, veins, nerves and tendons. He has another surgery ahead and a lot of PT. He may never have full use of his arm but the medics told us that we would have had a much worse outcome if my son had not acted as he did. My heart feels like it is in a vice when I think of my grandson and son as well as my daughter-in-law and other grandchildren going thru that terror. I am so proud of both my son and grandson, they have both shown absolute bravery. I thank the Lord every day for my grandson and pray for a full recovery for his arm and the trauma they all experienced. Some people are just solid rock and our foundation.
Credits to the deputy and train operator, but we also gotta recognize the victim. Victor is one strong dude after sustaining injuries like that for who knows how long.

what a fucking badass. deputy nelson deserves an award. (I made this comment before the end of the video, and my comment still stands as a letter isn't an award as I envisioned it.)
@@FFC3-1 do you think there are good decent people in the Hells Angels ?? Same with cops. Hells Angels with a Badge Cops tell you straight up, They are "sheep-dogs" Sheep dogs are from the WOLF Family, NOT Sheep Family. They only take care of sheep for $$$$. Cops are NOT your family.
Hearing Deputy Nelson empathetically and tenderly reassure the victim throughout this ordeal really touched me. I think in todays world and especially in law enforcement, we only get to see the hardened and often aggressive side of most officers. I really needed to see this today…my hope for humanity is restored. Deputy Nelson couldn’t have been a better example of, not only a couragious & skilled first responder, but of a truly companionate person who chose the right line of work. What a class act.
Huge respect to this cop. So many folks don’t realize that some people actually become cops cause they actually want to help people and do the right thing. Props to this deputy
Yeah, it’s just like anything in general, there’s bad and good in anything. There’s bad and good people, there’s good and bad cats, good and bad dogs, good and bad cars… list goes on. Can’t generalize it all
@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan Yeah I used to despise cops because of bad experiences, and just the fact they're generally tyrants- BUT, as I reach 20 something years old im starting to consider becoming one because I can't just work a normal job just to make money man, I feel like i'm wasting my life when I could be actually making the world a better place for a living.
Is it just me or... who would quit on this guy and just walk away?? Or ignore? No one has any morality anymore- I know that much- but dayum! Gotta have zero heart to not stick by this guy in such a terrible situation.
@@SchlamaFTW Well it's not just morality, stuff like this is extremely taxing psychologically. Not many people are able to handle stuff like this. It truly becomes surreal to see such things... of course if someone would just ignore it, without calling for help, then that's truly lack of morality. But I think since time immemorial there were people with good morals and there were vile people...
Deputy Nelson is a freaking stud. He maintains his composure throughout, is calm and collected, and deals with Victor perfectly. That guy is a true asset to his department and this video should be used as training for every department out there.
Sorry to disappoint you but it shouldn't, at least not completely. Everyone who, as most in the military do, ever have learned to attend to a person with war wounds can tell you this. When a person has severe wounds, has lost a lot of blood or body parts it is likely that this person will go into shock From there on the patient can easily go into a coma and never get out of it again. As a bystander you can not know what goes on in that persons mind, but the fact that he is awake tells you that his brain is still active. Therefore you NEVER discuss the gravity of the situation of a victim where he/she can ear it. The assistance provided by the trooper is perfect and the best someone could be able to perform in such a situation ..... except for the mentioning of the gravity; that could have gotten the victim into a hopeless coma and would have been really sad after all the efforts made.
Deputy Nelson showed great compassion as well as professionalism. This deputy is a true testament as to what any person should be, especially a law enforcement. Deputy Nelson is a true hero. Nice job deputy Nelson. As well as to all others involved.❤❤❤
@@KMx108he literally was on the phone with dispatch when arriving and realized due to the terrain, there were probably no safe spots to land nearby. So he was getting help as fast as he could, considering the location.

On an ambulance run while in the Navy. Got to the car wreck, I went to drivers side and (it's night time) and heard a voice inside with a heavy accent saying "Don't eat my guts". My co-worker called all clear from passenger side. Looking in w/flashlight was a man wedged between the bottom of the dasboard on the floor, and I could only see him from the waist up. He kept saying over and over "don't eat my guts". Co-worker sees something in the back seat and says 'we've got another back here, no movement. Just lots of blood'. Long story short: There was one person in the car. He was actually saying 'Donate my guts'. (Organ Donor) His legs had been severed at his waist, and apparantly flew into the back of his car from the multi vehicle crash. He passed away before we could extract him. It took us two combat medics awhile to process that incident, this was in 1974 stateside....still kind of haunts me. Never forget his voice.
Bless you for helping and how moving that the dying victim's last thought was to have his organs donated so that others may live. Hugs to you to have to re-live that memory. It must be tough but thank you for serving humanity! Not everyone can do what you did.❤
Former Navy and EMT. Understand the feelings of having to process such a trauma. The one thing that kept me going was that they didn't die alone,and we could pass their last message to the family. We are in essence part of that person's story,and they, part of ours.
@@fromfjord It must have really hit him when he got home and time to think about what happened. However he is a hero and wonderful to see his care and compassion, a credit to the police. If only all were like this.
I agree however, a story that doesn't include gun control, a drunk driver or Taylor Swift just isn't as exciting as a true Man who is a bundle of courage. In order to actually get the full affect of what Ty did, you would have to listen to more than 15 or 20 seconds of the video. Some people just don't have that much time to spend on a news report about someone trying to do good. (sarcasm!!)

Finite life is illusory which means that it is essentially non-existent. People who are alive today and yet to be born will all join the dead and forgotten of the past. If something exists momentarily whether it is for a year or a century, it is as though it never existed at all.
I think he was hanging under the train - or tried to get on. dude was probably a transient and was stowing his dog while he jumped on or off. sad story
The kindness and care Deputy Nelson showed this man is pretty outstanding, and how he maintained his calm the whole time. He’s the kind of person anyone would be lucky to have by their side when they’re in trouble. His family should feel so proud of him. ❤👏🏼
I can’t believe how calm and kind the law officer was handling this man. All I could think was if anyone I love ever needed assistance like this; I would pray that a man like this officer would be with them. That department is lucky to have this officer.
It is as if we go into Auto Pilot in an event such as this. I have been there for several accident victims during the last 40 years. Mom skills and a few tv scenes i helped me go into Auto pilot until the professionals showed up. Ya just do it.
@altsticksman1951 it might surprise you, those of us who proudly serve our communities as police officers deputy sheriff's, Highway Patrol men and women, we are human, are kids go to the same Public Schools as the general public uses we are regular members of the community and yes we do have compassion! We're just normal people, doing a job that we were called to do! A lot of us who wear a uniform have often said that we would like to write a book on all of our crazy experiences. But sadly the only people who would realize it's the truth those who work in law enforcement or First Responders doctors and nurses. Next time you see one of my brothers and sisters in uniform, tell them thank you! We are under a lot of stress and the job is very hard and our divorce rate is extremely high. It's very humbling though when a person from the public reaches out and says thank you for your service we really appreciate you!
I was crushed between my Ford F250 and a driver fleeing the police. I just happened to be leaving when I stepped behind my truck and this guy hit me at over 50mph. My pickup sat up pretty high so it crushed my thighs and shattered my femurs. You could reach through my legs and I was bleeding out. I was laying sort of on the hood of the car but they decided to pull the vehicles apart. The crash totaled five vehicles and pushed me almost 50 feet down the road. Then I heard a familiar voice of the orthopedic surgeon who fixed my right wrist two years before. He remembered me and helped to load me into the ambulance. This will be 49 years ago this year. I now have titanium knees and hips and lots of back hardware. I spent over a year and a half in a full spika body cast from arm pits to ankles. Still can’t bend my legs 90 degrees but I get around. They wanted to remove my legs but my aunt who raised me was a nurse in WWII and said no. I’ve had over 50 surgeries since the accident now. Stuff happens.
@@andrewclark6682agreed! The news is so sensational it’s DISGUSTING. But I’ve been born and raised here in Washington DC, also lived in Maryland and Virginia, and some of the cops are my friends, all the way to southern Virginia. I could never imagine a cop that did me dirty around here unless there is something mentally wrong with them. Cops are GOOD human beings that protect and serve, the cops they show on social media are the worst ones causing scandals 😢
Most cops are like this when they not having to deal with criminals or dumb people resisting arrest after literally breaking laws. Which is every incident that turns bad.
Deputy Nelson utmost respect for being the voice of compassion for the vulnerable victim and placing a tourniquet as a first aide measure. The train operator - much respect for his vigilance and alerting the cops.
Former paramedic here... This deputy is handling this way better than some of my colleagues. He nay not have our equipment, meds nor advanced medical knowledge other than the basics but he did everything right in his capacity and went above and beyond what you'd except a cop do. He keeps talking to the patient, he's not lying to the patient about his condition yet reassures him telling him medics are on the way. But most of all... This deputy embodied what's best in humanity and in a public servant. I see so many of my ex colleagues or future paramedics/emt act like morons without basic respect of the patient's dignity. I'm tearing up... Did this deputy miss his calling as a paramedic?
I'm glad this law officer was there to save this man. Thanks be to God. Years ago, our son was "planted" on the railroad tracks near Battle Mountain after he was attacked to make it look like a suicide. The train stopped before it hit him.
I know of a case where a 18 yo died of an over dose at his dealers house they loaded him onto an inner tube behind a boat and ran him into a bridge piling to cover up the fact it was an od death.
@@alexandraayeone1470 Thank you, yes he survived this attack by the grace of God. The attacker was not found... We found out later that our son was not the only one this had happened to and nothing.
Hearing the way Deputy Nelson talks to this wounded man instantly makes me have soooo much love and respect for him! What a good, caring, compassionate man he is. Wherever you are today Deputy Nelson, I pray The Lord Blesses you and your family, and I wish you all the best. The world really needs more police officers like this man.

@@rommelbillman2872 instead of criticizing you, since I'm pretty sure most people knew what you meant, I'm just going to tell you thank you for your service. Some people just can't help themselves when it comes to being correctors. Guess it makes them feel better about their insecurities.
That’s what I was thinking & it would have sent me into a spiral if I wasn’t already losing it. I’d hope he was too in shock to comprehend the severity
@@johnnyfreak6806 Yeah it's called geopolitics. Not playing the game is worse, unless you want to have no allies. That's less than 1% of the Federal budget by the way. And we're talking about States here so it's irrelevant anyway.
Pretty amazing. But surprised given the length of time it all took, I'm surprised they didn't at least get a nearby FD with stokes basket rolling in case they had to extricate
There is no doubt in my mind that the deputy’s encouragement and continuous verbal engagement was also a huge impact. This guy is a hero. What being a cop is supposed to be. I’m in awe of everyone who helped save a complete stranger.
Yeah, the heat and pressure cauterizes the wounds. You ever put a penny on a railroad track right before a train passes? It flattens it like a pancake, and the coin is red hot when u pick it up.
That’s actually pretty wild from what you and the other person said. Granted it’s probably painful as all hell, but it’s crazy to think that you could still possibly survive because of the pressure closing your wounds back up or even the heat. But at least you keep your life
@@Peyote1312 kinetic energy generates heat, same reason if you repeatedly stretch a rubber band quickly, it begins to warm up. Way back in the day, black smiths used to repeatedly pound a nail on a anvil till it became red hot to light a forge.
Sounds like Victor may have been following the tracks out into the desert to bury his dead dog. Maybe crying, grief stricken, didn't hear the train. Thank you to all these responders for their help and compassion.
I’m also guessing train hopper, based on how desolate/ difficult the terrain is up there- doesn’t seem like anybody would have just been out casually strolling along those tracks! Sometimes train riders will put their dogs inside of their packs when they’re getting ready to hop cars or jump off the train, just to keep them close, secure them, and keep them from getting scared/ messing up the dismount… Maybe this man got caught up in the wheels while trying to switch cars and his dog was killed on impact? I hope to see more information about this story someday, I want this man to have survived although I know the chances aren’t that great.
It's weird how some people would just puke their guts out seeing a sight like that.Then there are others like,ok let's get this guy fixed up,"let me go grab his leg and foot"....I wonder if it's something in your DNA.
@@donniefleming9914 working as officer / medic or being in the army etc, you get to see some horrifying shit, obviously at start you'll feel like puking etc, but you get used to it after a while specially when it'll affect your job, not everybody get to see horrifying scenes, and if you don't see them and one day you somehow get unlucky enough to see something that disturbing, it's pretty normal to puke and feel scared cause it comes to you very shocking and unexpected, so to answer your question it has nothing to do with anyone's DNA.
@@donniefleming9914 A buddy and I once pulled a girl out of a flipped car where a piece of her bone was sticking out near her ankle... which was also twisted 180 degrees. Not a pleasant sight for me, typically. It didn't phase me at the time, but thinking about it now makes me sick. Super odd lol
his back probably was all that could hurt considering. plus sometimes traumatic injuries like that, your nerves don’t know what’s going on so they just send whatever pain signals they can and considering all your leg nerves and everything come from ur back that’s all that could be perceived. i hope though that he wasn’t in too much pain and just shock protected him from it
