The following stories show the Chain of Survival in action, starting with a prompt 911 call, followed by CPR intervention, the arrival of an AED, and early access to advanced care.
The locations range from a home, to an airplane, to a Hawaiian resort. The people, in apparent good health before the attacks, are all different ages with different backgrounds. These differences aside, the stories share some critical similarities. Most notably, CPR-trained bystanders started the life-saving process, and trained responders arrived with AEDs in hand, just in time to save the victims.
