Taken in 1967 by Rocco Morabito, this photo called “The Kiss of Life” shows a utility worker named J.D. Thompson giving mouth-to-mouth to co-worker Randall G. Champion after he went unconscious following contact with a high voltage line. They had been performing routine maintenance when Champion brushed one of the low voltage lines at the very top of the utility pole. His safety harness prevented a fall, and Thompson, who had been ascending below him, quickly reached him and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was unable to perform CPR given the circumstances, but continued breathing into Champion’s lungs until he felt a slight pulse, then unbuckled his harness and descended with him on his shoulder. Thompson and another worker administered CPR on the ground, and Champion was moderately revived by the time paramedics arrived, eventually making a full recovery. What’s even more incredible is Champion not only survived this thanks to Thompson, but he lived an extra 35 years. He di...

 Jada Pinkett has chosen to remain silent about the Oscar's slap that happened at the 94th Oscars ceremony.  In an interview with CBS Mornings, the actress discussed her new memoir 'Worthy', and once again described her reaction to the infamous confrontation between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. "That's a really deep subject. I think you've gotta be really careful about the 'why,'" Pinkett Smith said. "That's Will's story to tell. Not mine. So what I will say is that being there with him that night, what I did know, was that I might not have walked in there as his wife, but I left that night as his wife. And as I sit here today, I am going to be by his side, always," she continued, alluding to the recent revelation that she and Smith have been separated since 2016. The highly criticised altercation came after Rock jokingly compared Pinkett Smith's shaved head to Demi Moore's in G.I. Jane while presenting th...
