Dan Woolley was in Haiti with a mission organization, making a film about the impact of poverty on the people of Haiti. As he and a colleague headed back to their hotel rooms, the earthquake hit and Woolley found himself buried under six stories of rubble.
Having lost his glasses, Dan's nearsighted vision was getting the better of him. Using the focusing light on his camera and taking pictures, he was able to figure out where he was. Dan did this until he finally found an elevator to take cover in.
Next he used an iPhone app to treat a compound fracture in his leg. The app instructed him on how to make a tourniquet for his leg and a bandage for a head wound. It also warned him that if he felt he was going into shock, he should not fall asleep, so Woolley set an alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
Woolley also wrote goodbye notes to his family and friends, which thankfully, he didn't need. This week he was reunited with his family in Colorado.
Wow, great story Mehmet! I had not heard about that one yet. I wonder how long he was trapped before he got help? That must have been a great battery! How do you think it will impact iPhone sales?

ReplyDeleteI think it will affect the iPhone sales a lot. Of course it smells a little marketing, but I believed in the story. I don't want to think bad. :)
