Story of near death experience
0:0
WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT ON THE
PIPELINE February 29, 1976 was like any
other day. I was nineteen years old when the
accident took place. Our crew was working
seven days a week, sixteen hours a day. We
arrived at the job site at about 6:00am then
began setting up to lay pipe. The pipe we
were working with was 60’ long pieces and
48” diameter. This was commonly used on
the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline. I remember
looking at the thermometer that morning and
it was 23 below zero. The crew of guys I was
working with was the joining and beveling
crew. We actually beveled the edges of the
pipe, sandblasted and prepared them for
joining. Apprentices on the job site had
certain jobs. My job was sandblasting. We
waited in the bus until the hill was secured.
When the foremen gave the word it was
secure, everybody filed off the bus and
prepared to start work. Every day the same
procedure was used. The pipe was laid out
going up a hill end to end. There were about
four feet between each pipe. One end of the
pipe had dunnage underneath it. It was
elevated about two feet. We beveled the end
of the pipe and sandblasted it and it was
ready to join. I remember working on the
end of the pipe with my sandblasting hood on.
There was a steady roar of the air
compressor nearby. I felt the pipes start to
move. I was between two sixty foot pieces of
pipe with no place to go. I tried to spin to
my left to get away from the moving pipe. I
could feel the pipe hit me in the chest,
crushing the life out of me. I never let go
of the sandblasting hose. It remained in my
right hand. That’s when the darkness
started to consume me, the lights went out,
the curtains closed, and the darkness was
horrifying. Little did I know when I was
busy sandblasting one of the operators walked
up the hill to retrieve a D 9 cat that was
sitting next to the pipe. If we would have
known he was above us, we would have all
scrambled for safety away from the pipes.
Site unseen, he got in his dozer, warmed it
up, and started to move away from the pipes,
but somehow he managed to touch the pipe with
his blade and this sent the pipe crashing
down the hill end to end. We were all
standing around a group of men and there was
a body lying on the ground. I asked one of
the guys next to me who was it? Who got
hurt? What happened? He wouldn’t look at
me and he wouldn’t talk to me. I watched
Tim trying to find a pulse; he was shaking
his head no. He was mumbling, that he
thought the man was dead, “I think he is
dead” and shaking his head. He stood up
slowly removed his jacket and placed it over
the dead man’s body. The men started to
move away from the body. Down the hill I
could see Jim Benson making his way up the
hill. Somehow Jim knew what to do. He knelt
next to the body pulled the jacket back and
he placed his hand over the eyes of the body,
and then he looked up into the sky and asked
God to give him the strength to bring life
back into the body. There was a huge flash
and the next thing I knew I was the guy
inside the body. That’s when the
unbearable pain started. The men started
to work on me. I saw one of the men put his
hand on my zipper starting to unzip my jacket
and as he unzipped my jacket my intestines
began to force their way out around my neck.
I could actually see them. He stopped,
realizing it was a mistake. He took his
other hand carefully placing it between my
intestines and zipper, slowly zipping my
jacket back up. One of the laborers came
over to me holding my right hand. He was in
shock. He knelt down next to me and asked me
what he should do with my hand. I told him
to stick it back up my sleeve and he did.
One of the men was looking down at me. I
remember one saying he will never make it, he
doesn’t have a fucking chance. They were
all shaking their heads in a no direction.
They could not stand to look at the site of
the body. They took turns kneeling beside me
shaking me and trying to keep me conscious.
All I wanted to do was close my eyes and go
and make the pain go away somehow. The men
quickly realized by keeping me talking they
could keep me conscious. Every time I would
close my eyes they would shake me and say
Kelley, come back, come back. They
immediately called for a medical evacuation.
I could hear the men on the radio begging for
help. Mayday mayday mayday…. They were
pleading for help. Thirty minutes went by no
helicopter, then one hour went by no
helicopter, only after one hour and forty
five minutes could we hear the helicopter
approaching. It was the United States Army.
It was not one of our helicopters, so we were
all shocked. We had no idea that this was
the first day the local helicopter went on
strike against the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline.
They loaded me up into the military
helicopter. It took eighteen minutes flying
time to get me to Fairbanks Memorial
Hospital. My parents somehow managed to make
it to the hospital. They allowed me to visit
with my parents for five minutes before
sedating me. The doctors told my parents we
don’t have a chance. This is one of the
ones we can’t do. But they wanted to get
started and try. During the next three days
I was kept on the operating table, teams of
doctors operated nonstop around the clock. I
went through eighty six units of blood in the
first three days before they finally
stabilized me. Success: The true heroes
were my fellow workers on the Trans Alaska
pipeline, by keeping their heads and not
allowing anybody to move me and for packing
me in snow. Success: A success was the
helicopter pilot from Fort Wainwright had
heard the May Day from Alyeska go off within
the first fifteen minutes and asked
permission to fly, but permission was denied.
Every fifteen minutes he would call his
commanding officer and ask permission to fly,
the answer was the same, permission denied.
The Commanding officer would reply the local
helicopter was in the air and he didn’t
want a mid air collision. At an hour and
thirty minutes he become overwhelmed and
broke command. The pilot took off from Fort
Wainwright and headed for the may day call.
I owe this man my life. He is one of the
Heroes. Success: To the doctors at
Fairbanks Memorial Hospital who would not
give up when all the odds were against them.
These doctors I owe my life to. They are the
Heroes.

Tribute to a Navy Seal
2:0
A Navy SEAL sacrificed his life to save his
comrades by throwing himself on top of a
grenade Iraqi insurgents tossed into their
sniper hideout, fellow members of the elite
force said. Petty Officer 2nd Class
Michael A. Monsoor had been near the only
door to the rooftop structure Sept. 29 when
the grenade hit him in the chest and bounced
to the floor, said four SEALs who spoke to
The Associated Press this week on condition
of anonymity because their work requires
their identities to remain secret. "He
never took his eye off the grenade, his only
movement was down toward it," said a
28-year-old lieutenant who sustained shrapnel
wounds to both legs that day. "He undoubtedly
saved mine and the other SEALs' lives, and we
owe him." Monsoor, a 25-year-old gunner,
was killed in the explosion in Ramadi, west
of Baghdad. He was only the second SEAL to
die in Iraq since the war began. Two SEALs
next to Monsoor were injured; another who was
10 to 15 feet from the blast was unhurt. The
four had been working with Iraqi soldiers
providing sniper security while U.S. and
Iraqi forces conducted missions in the
area. In an interview at the SEALs' West
Coast headquarters in Coronado, four members
of the special force remembered "Mikey" as a
loyal friend and a quiet, dedicated
professional. "He was just a fun-loving
guy," said a 26-year-old petty officer 2nd
class who went through the grueling 29-week
SEAL training with Monsoor. "Always got
something funny to say, always got a little
mischievous look on his face." You are an
integral and unique part of the universe.
Just as important a part as any other part.
There is no one else exactly like you. No one
else has your fingerprints, your exact DNA,
your exact thoughts or dreams. You are
connected to everything and everything you do
affects the rest of creation. Try to make the
universe a better place.

Man Saves Wife from Crocodile
1:48
This guy is a real life 'Crocodile Dundee.'
When Norm Petherick noticed his wife trying
to pull her leg out of the water, he acted
very quickly. She was trying to pull her leg
from was the jaws of a two meter-long
crocodile. The couple, from Australia's
Northern Territory, were just cooling off in
a local waterhole. [Wendy Petherick,
Attack Victim]: "I just wanted to get some
water on my face and on my head and the next
minute a croc, by the corner of my eye, just
grabbed me by the leg and pulled me in. I
grabbed him by the jaw on top and, being a
little person, my finger just gripped on the
top of his jaw and my other finger grabbed
him on the bottom of his jaw and pushed him
trying to open his mouth." It was only
thanks to her husband's quick thinking that
the animal didn't take Wendy for a death
roll. [Norm Petherick, Husband]: "I saw
Wendy in the water trying to pull something
out of her leg and I knew it was a croc and I
acted quickly. I just jumped on top of it,
went looking for the eyes and I found them
and I poked its eyes, that's when it released
her." Wendy escaped with relatively light
wounds. She received only five small puncture
wounds to her legs and hands. Crocodiles
carry a lot of infections in their mouths and
doctor's are now concerned that Wendy will
develop an infection. To prevent this, she
will spend the next 2 to 3 days in hospital
to receive a high-dose of intravenous
antibiotics. Rangers at the park have set
traps to catch the crocodile responsible for
the attack.

9 Year old saves girl from pitbull
0:51
A 9-year-old Bakersfield boy is being called
a hero after he saved a girl from a vicious
pit bull. Drew Heredia says he and a
friend were walking her small dog Tuesday
when, out of nowhere, a pit bull jumped on
the dog. The 12-year-old girl tried to
save her little dog and the pit bull turned
on her. Heredia says he jumped on the dog
and applied a chokehold that he learned by
taking classes at a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
studio in southwest Bakersfield. He held
the dog for 20 minutes until an animal
control officer arrived. At first I wanted to
kick it, but then I thought, its not a good
idea because it could get my leg, said Drew
Heredia. The girl was taken to Mercy
Southwest Hospital where she was treated for
puncture wounds. The pit bull is being
quarantined at the animal control office,
where it will be euthanized after 10
days. No one has claimed the dog. The
other dog was not hurt. It ran away during
the attack, but returned home to the girl
Friday afternoon. www.bakersfieldnow.com
