What a crazy, horrific, yet inspiring story... This only strengthens my desire to become a paramedic. This woman's SUV plunged off of a bridge and ended up at the bottom of the dirty Los Angeles River. 17 feet underwater. For over 20 minutes. Firefighters and Paramedics performed CPR and Advanced Life Support procedures on the rescue boat and on the way to the hospital. The woman is in critical condition, but has a pulse! INSANE.
Check out the Long Beach Fire Department's blog story here.
Another great account of the story is on Contra Costa Times.
