There are indeed other christmas segments that play snippets of christmas carols! At the beginning of Jamie's choking situation with Santa doing the heimlick, we hear a little of Hark The Herald Angels Sing. With the fool stuck in the Beaver's chimney, at the beginning we hear a little of Good King Wenceslas.
Many years ago I was working on my s10 and I had the front wheels off and it jacked up. I didn't have it on any jackstands. I was laying on a creeper underneath of it. For some reason I decided to slide from under the vehicle. Probably to go get a tool or something. Just as my head cleared the pinchweld I heard a pop and the truck fell on the ground. I felt the air from the truck falling hit me in the head. I just sat there for about 5 minutes stunned at how close I was to having the frame crush my head. Ever since then, I always always use jack stands and block the wheels. The jack actually failed and bent which is why the truck fell. I still have the jack as a reminder hanging on my wall to how close I came
The dispatcher and paramedics and fireme did a excellent job your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks even on rescue 911your show rocks thanks keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud love respect and appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
How ironic that the dispatchers want you to be calm on the phone to get your information clearly, but when the wife was calm on the phone, the dispatcher thought it wasn't an emergency.
Sometimes dispatch agencies seem to find some really bad eggs. There have been times when someone's life had minutes left, and the dispatcher hung up on the caller. People have died. These stories are not representative of the majority of dispatchers (they're as much heroes as firefighter and EMTs and _not_ cops I would say), but definitely should not have happened at all.
More then likely when he was messing around with the shift linkage, he popped it into neutral from down below, the e brake was not strong enough to hold the truck on such an incline and the truck rolled back. I don't know if his ramps had it or not but the ramps I have, have a square section at the top that is sunken in so the wheels sit down in this section. This helps hold the vehicle from rolling down the ramps.
I would never get under a car without the wheels being blocked. I am so worried about something like this happening. I don't care how much experience you have, you just don't skip simple safety measures.
the books at 0:03 looks like christmas bulbs and has the christmas colors, this happens in "Christmas bulb choke" also where shatner is seen with colorful books on desks.
If i was hurt that bad and my fiance dialed 911 and they asked if i was breathing she would be crying. The way she asked it was like find out if he breathing she should of known but glad they saved him
Before I started watching this TV show I was so ignorant about dangers, particularly while driving. It's no wonder why my Mother would be warning me of things even though I used to get mad over it.
@@Thundersnowy why did the pickup truck slid down the ramp every thought the truck was in park and the emergency brake was engaged and what cause it to slide down the ramp?
this one has struck a personal cord with me. a friend of mine in college lost part of his leg from the knee down in college when the jack stand on his side of the car let go. i was under the rear of the car, he was up front. the weld let go on the A frame of the stand and the disc brake pinned his leg to the concrete floor in the shop. it took 2 of us to lift the front of the car off him.
1:00 Oh Christ, it's THAT type of episode where a car rolls back on someone. This isn't the only Rescue 911 episode in which someone was pinned under a car from it rolling on him. ("Toppled Trans AM" is the other one I'm talking about.)
i feel for him, i've gotten stuck under my truck...same body style too, but i was alright, had to have my buddy jack the truck back up so i could get out
This is exactly why you don't use ramps. A set of 3 ton jack stands, wheel chocks and a 3 ton hydraulic floor jack is what you use. And if you don't have wheel chocks, use the parking brake and then jack the rear up as well, with it supported on all four corners by jack stands. Every mechanic knows this.
That all depends on the condition of the original tape, and the file format I saved it in. This one came off clean tape, and I saved it as a high quality quicktime file. RU-vid didn't used to have high quality, so most of my past uploads were in WMV format.
@1986Sheri That's where people act out something that already happened. In this case, this isn't actual footage from incident; the family members (and probably stunt people) are acting out what happened.
(cont) Same thing applies here- John probably thought the tires would stay put without needing the blocks to support the tires from rolling on him....so he thought the hell with blocking the tires because nothing would happen. Then see what happened. John is a lucky mechanic- I'm sure he learned not to take chances and to be more responsible from this situation.
Great Britain was the first country to establish a universal emergency number (999) in 1937. It was established after five people died in a fire. America's first emergency system that used 9-1-1 was in Haleyville, Alabama, and the country's first 9-1-1 call was made there on February 16, 1968.
Your body needs less oxygen when cold, so the cold actually is helpful when an injured person is having trouble breathing, at least for a short time period.
It’s been 28 years since this happened so John is 52 now. When I saw him get run over by the truck, I was afraid. I thought he was going to be paralyzed. I would be worried if that happened to my father or my brother. I don’t think he wouldn’t have made it if he was alone that day. Squash is a funny nickname. I wonder if he tells the story to his children, maybe he did. I’m sure he thanked his sister, his wife, and his father for what they did for him. At 0:20, We hear the 12 Days of Christmas verse “And A Partridge in a Pear Tree.” This happened on a Monday.
And at the beginning of Santa saving the choking Jamie, we hear the Hark The Herald Angels Sing!!!!! And the Goofball hanging upside down in the chimney, we hear Good King Wenceslas
Whenever I see one of these episodes where someone is trapped under a tire, and people are trying to lift the vehicle and can't, or it takes forever to lift it, I wonder if they could just put the vehicle in gear and push or drive it off of the person slowly. I know that might cause some damage, but it seems better than just leaving the vehicle on top of the person if you can't get it off.
every type of career has its dangers, Do it right the first time you might be ok, forget to do something the right way and you face your punishment for not doing it right.good or bad days can go wrong. Ive been studying marshel arts, Ive learned how to be more aware of my surrounding and how to focus more harder remember think twice cut once you might proceed
SQUASH! I like it! I like how John even admits he fowled up by not blocking the wheels. Being a mechanic for 8 yrs. he should have known to not overlook that precaution. Like the runaway dogsled situation: the father didn't anchor the dogs because the dogs never moved when they were anchored down many times already--so he chose to not anchor them-and look what happened- they got away with his child.
My four year old nephew, drop the car on top of me like that while I was putting the transmission up and he got in a released emergency brake and it came off. The Jackson dropped on me, so I know what you went through.
Why did this happen? Because he did not block the wheels of the truck.. They taught us when we were training to be mechanics, Never ever trust the Park break, Never ever trust the transmission.. If the truck is up on ramps Make absolute certain that you have those wheels blocked and chocked, You are playing a deadly game with your life otherwise!!
That quote from Justin White from the Carbon Monoxide Cop situation can be used in this situation as well...."What happened to John frustrates me a lot because it very easily could have been prevented.....John probably had that attitude "the truck wont roll on me even if the wheels are not blocked"....but the truck DID roll on him!!!
Boy, one little mistake and look what happened to that mechanic. This segment is simular to the one at 412, except it is a pickup truck rather than a car.
Hello allgood2000 My brother is a Mechinac and he knows how to be careful and this one is more serious If you don't do things the right way i'm so happy that this person didn't get brain damage I hope you are doing well Please keep up the good work Quadracer687 (Laura)
Jaws of life are hydrolic tools that can free people who are trapped in or under vehicles and they can tear a vehicle apart by te hydrolics forcing down and cracking the metal
He stopped breathing because 2 tons of weight dropped onto his chest and crushed his lungs. That, incidentally, is how all my friend's co-workers died in Tower 1. They were all alive before the Tower fell to the ground and they were crushed alive by multiple tones of brick and steel. They died from a crushing injury.
Vicki Bee I was a Jr in High School that day. While I was safe in Washington State.....I will NEVER forget that day. My Grandpa was a Senior at West Point when Pearl was attacked. He was out jogging when he heard over a radio what happened. 😞I now know how he must of felt. He was shipped out to the Pacific as soon as he graduated. He saw HELL, escorted McAuthor, and retired a Brigadier General. But he avoided talking about what he was. Apparently it was "Hacksaw Ridge (movie) bad. May he RIP. May your friends RIP too.
jillhbaudhaan It's where you properly put semi blocks behind the back tires so it can't roll. He's a mechanic he was taught this. Like the woman in the family said I can't believe he didn't or forget to block it.
even though it was in Park and the parking brake was set, I still would have blocked it whereas I would have used wood blocks in front of the rear tires and used a jack and the stands on the front axle
*dispatcher* what part of him is stuck? Um, lady? ALL OF HIM!! Also, idk how those firefighters do it...friggin jaws of life are HEAVY. Monitor was a hair worrysome as the wife was talking... HR of 126. At his condition I wouldnt have pushed him much beyond 130
Very SIMILAR to topelled trans-am!! They even have the tool box opened in the driveway here like in toppled trans-am. I wonder why they didn't think of using the JAWS on the trans-am....
I'm guessing the reason why John didnt block the tires from rolling was because....when he blocked tires prior on other cars before this the tires stayed in place...so he figured the tires wouldn't go anywhere weather they were blocked or not due to past experience from working under cars,,,,
I know ,this is not the actual video,. And they never did have a video of the real event... I do wonder if he really put himself under the tire ,when it started to move, cause if he wouldn't have moved from where he was,he would have been fine.
looks like the A-arm was sitting on him, thats 5,000 lbs of initial force when it fell on him, and about 1500 constant untill the truck was pulled off him
