'The Impossible': This teen fell into an icy lake, had no pulse for 45 minutes and survived

John Smith fell into a frozen lake. He was underwater for 15 minutes. He had no pulse for 45 minutes. And yet, he’s alive and shared his incredible story on Good Day LA.

Ugh this hits a little too close to home. When I was 4 years old I was diagnosed with 2 neurological diseases that attacked my spinal chord and my brain. I was quadriplegic (paralyzed) and every doctor said my long term prognosis was that I would be able to roll myself over in bed. But, here I am 18 years later with every vital organ working, every bone moving, and now trying to chase my dreams of becoming an audio production major. This is a testimony of how God works. Its been a long road, and it only seems to be getting longer. But not everyone can say they were given a second chance. God bless!

This man is one of God's truly anointed. The story that he shared about the child who came back to life is a testament of the power of faith and prayer, and how God is still working miracles today. What a powerful message!

[@Thenotfunnyperson]

There are hundreds of recorded case in which a person with hypothermia has "no detectable pulse" and could easily have been pronounced dead by an untrained medical professional. But when they are warmed up they come back to life. Such is the case with this child. NOT A MIRACLE PERIOD. Parents could sue and win this case easily. 100's if not thousands of people have been brought back from hypothermia states similar to this one. They did not actively rewarm this person that is why he woke up when he warmed up in the morgue or wherever he was.
