Man Run Over By Train, Cut Into 2, Survived, Called 911 Himself…
Sep 30, 2008 Terrible Stuffs
I just cannot imagine the kind of pain, sufferings that this brave man, Truman Duncan, had gone true. He was run over by train, basically his body was cut into 2. But he remained conscious and he called 911 himself for help. While waiting for the ambulance, he even made another call home…
Remarkably, he remained conscious and had the presence of mind to call 911 on his cell phone. On the 911 tape, he sounds out of breath but remarkably calm.
“I need 911. CareFlite. I think I’m cut in two,” Duncan says on the tape.
“Someone got run over?” the operator asks.
“It was me,” Duncan responds. “I guess I’m going into shock. Hurry up, ma’am, because I’m about to pass out.”
It took 45 minutes for responders to arrive and extricate Duncan from under the train. Despite massive blood loss, he stayed conscious and even managed to call his family while he was waiting to be rescued.
If there is anything that I want to learn from him, it will be his will to live. Live on guys.
