KISS OF LIFE"
In 1968, the author received the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph - one of the most prestigious awards in the United States, which is awarded for achievements in music, cinema, theater and journalism.
The picture shows two electricians, Randall Champion and Jay Thompson, hanging from a power pole. That day there was a strong heat and nothing foreshadowed trouble. The hum of air conditioners in July 1967 was heard throughout the state of Florida. Because of them, in the city of Jacksonville, there was an overload of power lines, and this caused a power surge.
Randall and Jay were doing routine maintenance on a live line when Randall accidentally touched one of the wires. A discharge of 4000 V passed through the body and his heart stopped. For understanding: during the ex*****on in the electric chair, a voltage of 2000 V is used
Randall's lifeless body hung from the harness. But his partner Jay did not lose his head, realizing that every second is precious, he began to give him artificial respiration right on the pole. It was very inconvenient, but there was no other way out. In such a situation, it is difficult to conduct a normal resuscitation, but Jay still tried to start his friend's heart until he had a weak pulse.
Only after that he unhooked his partner's insurance and, throwing him over his shoulder, went down to the ground. By the time the rescuers arrived (they were called by professional photographer Rocco Morabito, who happened to be at the scene), Champion was already conscious on the ground.
Not only was he saved, thanks to Thompson, but he lived another 35 years. The electrician died in 2003 at the age of 64.
Thompson is alive today.

The Malian government accuses France of supplying arms to dangerous groups operating in the Sahel.

According to intelligence gathered by Malian officials, the country’s airspace has been breached more than 50 times in this year alone and mostly by French forces.

In a letter sent to the head of the United Nation Security Council on Monday, Malian Foreign Minister accuses Paris of using drones, military helicopters, and fighter jets in breaching his country’s airspace.

“These flagrant violations of Malian airspace were used by France to collect information for terrorist

Groups operating in the Sahel and to drop arms and ammunition to them,” the letter reads.

France's relationship with Africa continues to deteriorate as patriotic young Africans call for the continent’s leadership to sever all colonial ties with the European nation.

The French military forces who have been operating in the Sahel for years are recently kicked out amid several mass protests by Malian citizens.
