I have listened to that 9-1-1 call a few times, and every time I am amazed at how calm you remained during that call. Good to hear your story from you and that you're doing well.

i know right i’m sure even the person on the other end was a bit confused at first because he sounded so calm 😭

[@millwalldave467]

He was in shock many military servicemen and women act the same after being horribly injured, it can cause your death if you lose it or be a massive help like in this case where he was so calm, his call resonated with everyone because if this happened to us we would like to think we would have they words for our mother, you are so right about it being inspirational it’s one of the most inspirational calls I have ever heard the can you pray with me and his confession of his horrible sins (probably as minor as any criminal could dream of yet horrible to him not even a misdemeanour 😂) I was just rooting for him and so happy he survived and wow how he has took his second chance at life YES TRULY INSPIRATIONAL

having three endings to the video is super relatable, my dumbass is constantly like "oh yeah and etc etc." glad they were forced to file bankruptcy after the event, can't really call it an accident when they knew it wasn't safe. Glad you made it and are doing good!

[@ObtuseMori]

Really interesting to hear the story from your point of view! I heard a retelling of it on Let's Read's channel ages ago and then listened to the 911 call, have been subscribed to your channel ever since. Honestly kudos to you for being able to get yourself out of the machine so quickly, call for help, and remain so calm the whole time - I can't imagine how much shock and pain you must have been in. Screw that company for being so irresponsible and completely disregarding yours and everyone else who worked there's safety. But your story and channel are really inspirational, I'm glad you're doing well and the accident didn't stop you from living a basically "normal" life. 🙌

This randomly popped into my recommended and wow I’m so glad it did! I heard your 911 call so long ago but remembered you all the time later. I have to say how nice it is to hear that they had to declare bankruptcy. That many things missing for safety and they just didn’t care…scary to think of how many people right now are working under the same conditions and just don’t know it. Your body has some amazing fight or flight instincts. I’d like to hope I’d react in a similar way but I don’t think i would! So good to see you doing well!!!

I just Google it and you can die if you loose more then only 1 liter blood!

[@xiomaravelazquez1202]

@@Crew9t I’m pretty sure u probably looked that up after your accident lol

[@cassandraharris6005]

Actually that's pretty close but still wrong. Blood takes up about 7% Of the human body. The "average" sized adult can vary from 4 to nearly 5/5½ liters. So normally will die between the loss of 2 ½ to 4 liters of blood. How your body reacts to the blood loss is where the amount varies. Obviously there are rare cases with bodies containingless liters or losing more. But this is just what we learned in nursing school for an average adult.
