The driver was unresponsive when Anderson stopped to investigate and the captain smelled smoke;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Anderson grabbed the driver from behind, and a bystander grabbed the driver\u2019s feet to help get the driver away from the car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I had to do CPR, but I also needed a tempo for the compressions,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson remembered what his instructor had told him from his Army CLS course. He was told the tempo of the song \u2018Staying Alive\u2019 is pretty close to how fast CPR compressions are supposed to be administered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I asked this kid who was standing close by to find the song \u2018Staying Alive\u2019 on his cell phone,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cOnce the song started, I focused on matching my compressions to the beat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The driver groaned and gasped for air as Anderson began CPR. While Anderson was doing compressions, the driver\u2019s gasping became more frequent, which meant the driver was breathing more air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt as if he was still fighting to stay alive,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cHe just couldn\u2019t breathe, but he was trying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An older gentleman, who also knew CPR, assisted Anderson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rescue workers arrived on the scene and used a defibrillator on the victim. They told Anderson that the casualty had a pulse by the time they sent off to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>From the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2018\/07\/24\/army-captain-relies-on-cpr-training-bee-gees-staying-alive-to-save-car-crash-victim\/\">Army Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to be called a hero,\u201d Anderson said about his actions on June 12, according to TRADOC. \u201cI stopped to help because it was the right thing to do \u2014 not just as a soldier, but as a good human being.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AW1Ed sends a link to the story of US Army Captain Christopher Anderson, the company commander &hellip; <a title=\"Capt.
