在海地大地震時身在太子港的美國電影製片人伍利,在被埋66小時後獲救,依靠的竟然是手中iPhone的幫助。
地震發生時,正在太子港指攝海地貧窮狀況紀錄片的伍利正身處在他下榻的酒店內,房屋瞬間倒塌後他被埋在了瓦礫下面,一條腿骨折,頭部受傷血流如注。
伍利在邁阿密向微軟全國廣播公司(MSNBC)指出,他依靠著手邊數碼單反相機的閃光燈,他拍下了四周的環境,尋找到了安全的躲避地點:一處電梯井。
靠手機學急救止血
他之所以能活下來,部分要感謝他的iPhone手機。他說,「我隨身帶的手機中有個醫學應用程式,可以查閱大量出血和多重骨折的處理方法」。該應用程式名為「Jive Media Pocket First Aid and CPR」。隨後我遵軟件的指導,撕破襯衫做成止血帶纏住了傷腿,又用襪子當作繃帶為頭部傷口止血。”
這款軟件甚至還告訴伍利在感到自己接近休克狀態時千萬不要睡著,因此他把iPhone鬧鈴設為每20分鐘提醒,防止自己昏睡過去。
66個小時後,法國救援隊發現並把他救出。
