While I was waiting for my luggage, someone beside me said a man had fainted. Running over with two others, I realized he was having a grand mal seizure. I directed airport staff to call 911 while two of my fellow passengers moved him to his side. Then his heart stopped.

Dozens watched in shocked disbelief as a defibrillator was pulled from the wall. Two airport employees and I instinctively joined hands beside him and prayed out loud for this stranger. CPR was being performed by a fellow passenger, in conjunction with multiple targeted shocks. Thank goodness, he started breathing.
