| 0:00.0 | One of the things that I've been talking about, and I mean for years, is that every building, every school, every floor of every commercial building should have a defibrillator on it. |
| 0:11.6 | They don't around here, and I think they did at one point, but there should be, it's like fire extinguishers. |
| 0:17.8 | There should be a defibrillator station and you break the glass or whatever. |
| 0:21.5 | So it is the law that airlines have to have defibrillators on them. There is a guy, a young man actually, |
| 0:29.8 | who went into cardiac arrest on an American airline airline flight to Florida and they took out, and right there I mean he was having a heart attack |
