Congrads for them being brave and taking on the intivive hell if I did anything like that on my job i'd be fired... Even if I saved the child.

You won't find me praising Comcast often, but it's a great policy to require techs to know CPR. Way to go. |

Didn't they save a "Drowning" Child? It seems to me to be impossible to save a "Drowned" child...
But, nevertheless, good for them! |

Spokane, WA | You can save a "drowned" child. You'll just have to spend more time doing cpr on them and hoping that thier heart will start pumping again. A drowned child doesn't necessary mean a dead child. |

Well I now have more respect for the Board of Directors at Comcast (and for the two techs). If I find time I'm going to send them an email. |

Could have been ironically tragic if VoIP was involved with the emergency call with all of the e911 controversy going on.

So, eh... a 10-year old child was saved from drowing by 2 ComCost cable techs.
Before there was any mention of a swimming pool being involved, I thought the child was drowing in online pr0n.

Re: Awesome
The news story says Comcast requires their techs to take a CPR class every couple years. That makes Comcast's involvement relevant.
It's nice to see a positive story once in a while. Good job guys.

Re: Awesome
one question for all the Yanks on this forum..
Is there anything like a good Samaritan law down in the states?
In Canada if you try to help someone in good faith and end up hurting them, or you save their life but they get paralyzed because of your actions you aren't libel and cannot get sued... |

I think Qwest might even be the phone company in all 3 Des Moines. There is one in New Mexico too.
