The real power




Lineman Randall Champion is struck by 4160 volts of electricity at the top of a utility pole and his heart instantly stops. He falls and dangles upside down by his safety harness. J D Thompson, another lineman, climbs the pole, cradles Champion and breathes air into his lungs. He does this till he breathes life back into Champion. 
Champion breathes. Champion survives
  
This amazing story, captured by Rocco Morabito, won the 1968 Pulitzer
