Bigger then a game I think it's so wholesome that both teams made a wall to keep this off the live camera great job by all the players and safety personnel in knowing this is bigger then football.
American football players are smart that way. They know what's going on. Half of them grew up in the hood, the other half not, and both know exactly what is happening.
@Bruce M It ain't about them being American football players, it's about common sense and common decency. Soccer players did the same when Ericksen collapsed
@@judykilby6143 We can probably stop praying at this point, I think Damar already has 100 million prayers. My neighbor and I have done plenty for Damar and we don't even watch pro football. Sorry Damar you are getting prayed for by random people whether you like it or NOT. Take that.
I'm not into football or sports at all really, but this is so intense. The way he just collapsed without any sign of serious injury. And seeing the other players, big tough manly men, from both teams, showing such strong and genuine emotion. Recognizing immediately that this man's life is more important than the game. So touching. Im glad he's okay!
Yall calling her insensitive when you can clearly hear her voice shaky. She's emotional and shocked. None of yall know how you'd react if you saw that live.
I can’t imagine, no time to properly process what she/they just saw in real time. All while having to fill in time with words, which not everyone can properly formulate in that situation. Nobody knows what they’d do or say unless they’ve been there. It’s easy to look back & say what would’ve been best but she didn’t have that advantage
She’s in shock and just trying to keep their show going she’s trying to sooth the viewers as well as her fellow cohost. Sometimes changing the topic to an “insensitive” subject can get people moving and talking which in the end helps. Staying shocked, stuck and still doesn’t help things.
It was just pitched to her. What can she say? She knows the same info as everyone else. She trying get some help from the other two to say something of their experience. Director finally cuts to commercial break.
@@baberRuth they make between 25 45 an hour that's not underpaid because other medical professionals make the same or less. Most athletes are overpaid that's why ppl think others are underpaid
I remember waiting all day for this game and watching this happen. It shook me to my core, after 3-4 commercial breaks I turned to my mom and said “ mom I think he died” because 9 times out of 10 they would just remove them from the field but the fact that they stayed in that spot for that long kinda just let everyone know that this was a different type of injury. From a die hard bengals fan, I’m so glad he is making a remarkable recovery, WHO DEY
I can't imagine what his mother went through. She was there. To see your baby laying motionless on the field and not being able to do anything to help them, that's tough.
Exactly. They had to recognize very quickly that this was a life threatening situation, and then spring into action. Thank God for all medical professionals, they are the real heroes.
I don't know if the audio is cut out in some parts, but you ever seen a stadium packed full of people that is that quiet? That's what makes you shiver. A stadium full of people and everyone is just silent.
Watching the aftermath of this injury, I don't think anyone would have expected the great outcome that Damar ended up achieving. I don't know if he will ever play again, but I'm so glad he has his life to decide!
This is probably the rarest injury I’ve ever witnessed in an NFL game…it was all about sending chills up my spine based on this moment of nail-biting suspense
Watching this live was scary!? You knew when you seen players covering their mouth so you couldn't read their lips it was really, really bad. I'm so glad he was able to pull through this. Those Dr, Medics, and trainers are A+
This reminds me of the boxing match between Ray Mancini and Duk Koo Kim. Can't believe what you're watching at first. My heart is breaking for all those young men. Mr.Hamlin, all of them clearly horrified, they will never be right. Lives ruined for entertainment.
I have a good friend who's an athletic trainer. He told me that when you see an athlete collapse the way Hamlin did, you immediately assume cardiac arrest. That's why they started it so fast.
i was thinking if i was the dude that tackled him (i don’t watch football - my mom and dad were talking about this) i would feel absolutely horrible. you’re just doing your job, and you never expect something like this to happen when you tackle someone. it honestly does show anything can happen on the field
Had 3 deaths at my job last year working on air craft carriers 2 of em close friends took em off in ambulance back to work within 40 minutes n we only make like 40 k a year Prayers thow
Prayers to who? Because we are all sinners and deserve much worse. Which is why we need Jesus to pay something we cannot. So who's everyone praying to? Also all the demonic half time shows going hand in hand with this over glamorized past time......who were the players praying to? Who's everyone else praying to? Curious.
I remember seeing this live. It was so scary, not knowing what was going on or if he was even okay. Cardiac arrest is no joke. It's one of those situations where every second counts. The medical team are all heroes for saving his life.
dude i get so stressed about my team winning but things like this make you realize i love the players more than i love the win the win is great but seeing these young talented bucks come out and do their thing is what really makes me proud to be a football fan these past few years. Go BILLS!!!
This shows how people react, that everyone expects the worst....two weeks later looks like this man is going to recover and be well.....I Thank him for letting millions of people look at their own mortality and life is not a game.
I remember watching this live and just sat watching the TV in a mix of emotions for at least an hour straight. That's the scariest thing to happen in NFL history and I'm so glad Hamlin recovered from the incident.
I've taken hits to the chest like that when tackling bigger guys and nothing like that ever happened to me. This must have been a freak thing or an underlying condition.
I remember seeing this game after the Rose Bowl. Normally, I don't really follow football outside of the Super Bowl (because of the commercials), but as this situation unfolded, I was instantly taken back to October 16, 2011, the day Dan Wheldon was killed in the IndyCar season finale at Las Vegas. That feeling of agony waiting for more information came flooding back to me. Fortunately, January 2, 2023 had a much happier ending.
You can tell just from seeing all the players they knew there wasn’t going to be a game and they knew this was a life or death situation. All the respect in the world to Damar Hamlin coming back for next year and I’m so glad he is ok 🙏🙏🙏
I was afraid this would not be a good outcome after seeing Damar on the ground so long without CPR and now relieved to hear of his miraculous recovery. God is good, and He was looking out for this good and faithful servant who started a toy drive in his hometown and brought an entire nation to their knees in prayer.
I remember hearing a lot of news coverage about this, two days into the new year. Really glad Damar Hamlin is okay. Really scary, broke me to see his follow teammates tear up and worried for him.
I watched this live, I’m from Buffalo and it was so scary, so glad they canceled the rest of the game, we couldn’t have gone on if they didn’t cancel it, to see him not moving for almost 10 minutes, and to see these grown men balling is something I’ll never forget
She probably doesn't know what to talk about, it's a crazy situation that doesn't happen too often so they got to find a way to fill the time. At this particular moment it was unsure of whether or not they were going to continue the game, they were still deciding that right at this very moment. (Not that I personally thought it should have continued.)
I was talking to people as this was happening and they all noticed Suzy repeating the same thing. But looking back I can’t really fault her for anything because she was just as shocked and rattled as everyone else and I honestly don’t think she knew what she was saying in live time..
What I like about the situation is that the camera is on wide shot, while for Christian Eriksen it was on him and the players had to make a protective circle to not let anybody see
I am just noticing that right after he goes down, #64 on the Bengals goes to his knee and says a prayer. Like within the first 5 seconds of him going down. I’m not religious but it is a tremendous mark of character on that guy to immediately pray for anyone who goes down.
Thank God Damar Hamlin survived and pulled through a scary hit. Prayers over his Family and Teammates,. Great show of Respect from Cincinnati Bengals comforting Buffalo's Players and glad they cancelled the game so the teams could be there for Damar Hamlin and his family. so glad both sides training staff were on the field immediately administering cpr those trainers definitely saved his life 👏👏👏👏👏. Buffalo and Cincinnati Strong . to the Paramedics and Hospital staff also who were able to treat him efficiently you all are True Heros ❤️👏👏👏
It felt like just yesterday and I knew something was absolutely wrong when I was watching it and saw him go down like that....glad he's back on the team this year....I was crying watching these players cry and seeing how serious it was
This was awful to watch. Imagine his mother or father or any family watching him go down on a giant screen and you’re completely helpless to help him. 😔 Best vibes for this athlete thrown out into the universe from me!
bro even knowing he's okay now this still gets me... I remember my teammate in high school broke his leg and I can still remember him yelling, I can't imagine watching a teammate going thru cardiac arrest. Thank god for the Bills training staff.
Why cant you watch this without tears? Heart attacks happen every second of every day in this country. Did you cry when Lisa Marie Presley died of a heart attack too? Maybe you cried bc it happened on a football field and on camera. Now I’m gonna go have a corndog, bc I had cornbread yesterday, and corn on the cob the day before.
This shocked everyone watching! It was so unexpected just a flash and Damar was down!!! Scary!!! The NFL is amazing they all came together to support Demar along with millions of NFL fans! I'm glad Demar has made a full recovery!
I watched this live and I was absolutely shaken up by this. Even I didn't want the game to continue. I was hoping and wondering if it would be cancelled. It was so hard to watch. Even now.. I was really shaken up so I can't imagine how the players felt, how his whole team felt, how his family felt and what he went though. I'm so grateful he's made a full recovery ❤️🙏 he is so strong
I've heard about this even though I'm from Massachusetts. He is so lucky that he did not die because he's only 24 and not everyone survives cardiac arrest. Update he just got released from the hospital. I bet there were kids at that game since this is a scary moment thank god he's alive
Of course you've heard about it. What is you being in Massachusetts have to do with anything? It's the NFL. Doesn't matter what state you're in dude you're going to hear about it
I seen this live on field. The moment he fell and the crowd went silent, I got down on my knees and prayed to God that he’d be ok. Hamlin was a true warrior, he was tough as can be. Love for Damar. Glad you made an amazing recovery.
This is so scary I feel so bad for the team and the way he just stoped the game and everyone came together and they where crying and did not just keep playing
I remember watching this live while playing cards at a friend's house. This happened pretty early on in the game, and we were eating Gold Star. We looked away for a second and turned back to people freaking out on the field. We slowly watched the audience in the stadium clear out, and then the message popped up on the screens in Paycor Stadium. It's one of the craziest moments I've seen in NFL, and I'm glad Damar Hamlin is okay
Seeing Diggs in tears is burned into my mind. I did not go to sleep that night, was so worried sick about him, thank god the medical staffs got to him so quick and were able to save his life!
This is a perfect reminder of how fragile life is-and that you’re never too young to have a backup plan. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, should have a POA appointed and a will (at the very least). When my mom was having back to back strokes and in the hospital for 8 months, they were ripping life saving money out of her bank because I didn’t have POA to cancel even the most mundane automated payments such as her Spectrum bill. I almost lost her house cuz i couldn’t pay the mortgage cuz I didn’t have POA. My mom was a vegetable for 4 months before she looked at me for the first time. You’d THINK there’d be emergency exceptions for stuff like this, but I promise you, there isn’t. No matter how young or healthy you are, AT LEAST get your POA appointed. Someone you trust with both your medical decisions AND your material assets (or two different people for each type of POA-medical & durable). Both mine and my moms lives are completely upside still to this day. Now 5 years later, we are poor and homebound since I can’t leave her side to even go grocery shopping unless I pay someone to watch her. She can only move her head and left arm, she can’t speak, can’t brush her own teeth or control her bathroom habits… our fun and carefree lives ended April 26, 2018. EVERYTHING can change in an instant. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best is my life’s motto now.
I remember this night. I was bored and I turned on the game and me and my mom were watching it, just heated up some pizza rolls and was ready for football then after 3 plays, this happend. I was scared shitless cause it reminded me so much of dale earnhardts death I was worried. Couldn’t sleep at all that night all I did was keep checking twitter for any updates. Thank god he’s with us today!❤️
I was channel surfing and stopped on the Daytona 500. Three laps left so I decided to watch the end of the race. I wish I hadn't. My husband's cousin was installing a wood floor years ago. A plank popped up out of the table saw and smacked him in the chest. Like Hamlin, he took about three steps backwards and went down. There was no medical team to save him. I'm really glad Damar survived.
I can't imagine what the players on both sides feel like this makes me ball every time I watch i imagine the look that whole team has its scary my moms uncle has gone into cardiac arrest 2 times in 4 days and is barely talking I don't even know him I went through 20 days of my grandpa dying it was so sudden my grandma died 2 years ago and my grandpa 1 year ago it's been even more hard as we just moved into there old house it a emotional roller coaster plus my cousin I hadn't seen sense my birthday came and saw us 1 week ago he was very close with my grandpa
Damar I'm a giants fan I'm 42 years old and son I gotta say I hope to see u play again as freak of a thing this was although I know it will live with u forever son u cannot let that get in ur way of ur dreams
That type of hit is rare. It's one that emergency medical personnel address in advanced resuscitation measures. Gotta shock him within a minute for best outcome. The confusion of that first minute works against him. The enormous amount of prayers overcomes everything though. In retrospect, we medical people all know that made the biggest difference in his miraculous recovery. Stay well and be kind
This story fortunately has a happy ending. He should make a complete recovery. I don't know if he will play football again, but otherwise he will be ok. 🙏🏻🙏🙏🏾
I was at that game…Craziest thing I’ve ever scene in professional sports ! The crowd went from absolutely excitement and so loud you couldn’t hear the guy next you to absolutely quiet…You could hear a pin drop. I’m so glad it turned out ok ! Who Dey !
What pissed me off about this game was just a couple month prior, I witnessed in person this same thing. Luckily it wasn’t as serious but they had to perform CPR on a middle school player on the opening kickoff
Yes, ESPN, he was surrounded by players of both teams exactly to stop your cameras from getting in there. The fact that you knew it was hard to see him meant you tried, which means their decision to surround him was right.
That’s not necessarily true. They said it was hard to but remember they thought it was just a hit and he needed to maybe get wheeled off with a broken limb or something.
@@cARTerresmith By the time the teams had gathered around, he had been getting CPR for over 9 minutes. No one thought it was a broken limb, everyone knew he had literally clinically died.
@@vyros.3234 There's a big difference between showing the ugly stuff, and showing CPR. I was an EMT for 7 years in a high volume urban system, we didn't let family watch us work their loved ones because it is a traumatic sight, seeing someone's chest caved in with compressions, a tubed shoved down their throat for breathing, their body convulsing as shocks are delivered....no one needed to see that, any of that.
As someone in media, I think she was grasping for some type of conversation as to not have dead air. I don't think she was thinking it all the way through.
That first guy knew. I got a feeling one of the first medical responders was a combat medic. He immediately recognized there was no heartbeat. Most injuries are concussions, but within 5 seconds he saw it cardiovascular and saved his life.
Love that the other team was so concerned and cared more about Damar than the game. Thats the reality of this game and that the players do care about eachother so much
@@1fowllady310 definitely not a particular experiment put in us. It’s definitely from the hit… I’ve been watching football / played football. Never have I seen such an occurrence. But ok.
I was just coming home from work when this was unfolding, my dad watching this game on TV. I've never seen anything like this, and when I tell you, the whole house was silent. I was really scared for Damar. I was really hoping he was going to survive. I prayed, hoped, and checked on Twitter over the next several days, and to say I was overjoyed to hear his health improving and him surviving this entire ordeal would be an understatement. This guy's only about my age! I'm so happy Damar is healthy and now back in action as the Bills safety! I may have been a Bears fan my whole life, but I have a special place in my heart for both the Bills and the Bengals!
My opinion is I love how all his teammates were like huddling him and making sure he was okay but the other team was just chilling ( until the end though )
After coming back to this horrible tragedy, this will remain as NFL history. One of the most scariest, heart dropping moments ever caught in football ❤

Thank God Damar Hamlin survived and pulled through a scary hit. Prayers over his Family and Teammates,. Great show of Respect from Cincinnati Bengals comforting Buffalo's Players and glad they cancelled the game so the teams could be there for Damar Hamlin and his family. so glad both sides training staff were on the field immediately administering cpr those trainers definitely saved his life 👏👏👏👏👏. Buffalo and Cincinnati Strong . to the Paramedics and Hospital staff also who were able to treat him efficiently you all are True Heros ❤️👏👏👏
It felt like just yesterday and I knew something was absolutely wrong when I was watching it and saw him go down like that....glad he's back on the team this year....I was crying watching these players cry and seeing how serious it was
This was awful to watch. Imagine his mother or father or any family watching him go down on a giant screen and you’re completely helpless to help him. 😔 Best vibes for this athlete thrown out into the universe from me!
bro even knowing he's okay now this still gets me... I remember my teammate in high school broke his leg and I can still remember him yelling, I can't imagine watching a teammate going thru cardiac arrest. Thank god for the Bills training staff.
It's very reminiscent of Christian Eriksen's collapse on the pitch. (That was cardiac arrest as well) the silence was deafening
Safe & effective
Damar is doing much better now, back in Buffalo, breathing on his own, and I still can't watch this without tears.
Why cant you watch this without tears? Heart attacks happen every second of every day in this country. Did you cry when Lisa Marie Presley died of a heart attack too? Maybe you cried bc it happened on a football field and on camera. Now I’m gonna go have a corndog, bc I had cornbread yesterday, and corn on the cob the day before.
@@navyvet05 maybe because he's a fan of him? Nobody gives a fuck about what you ate or Lisa
@@ytcommenter375 maybe its bc hes a fuckin corndog, corndog. Now pull your giant labias over your head and swallow.
@@navyvet05 get a grip and realize, nobody cares about you or anything you have to say, your first comment was so unnecessary
@@ytcommenter375 why are you still here arguing with a stranger? Get a life.
Lord bless this young man and his family...
The Lord Satan will provide.
This shocked everyone watching! It was so unexpected just a flash and Damar was down!!! Scary!!! The NFL is amazing they all came together to support Demar along with millions of NFL fans! I'm glad Demar has made a full recovery!
Seeing Diggs tears broke me. 😭😭😭😭 so happy he is okay!!!
Have you seen on ON TV interview?
The fact that they did NINE mins of cpr & that we haven't seen an interview_makes_ me believe that he is NOT "ok."
You can see how quickly both medical staff responded.
I watched this live and I was absolutely shaken up by this. Even I didn't want the game to continue. I was hoping and wondering if it would be cancelled. It was so hard to watch. Even now.. I was really shaken up so I can't imagine how the players felt, how his whole team felt, how his family felt and what he went though. I'm so grateful he's made a full recovery ❤️🙏 he is so strong
Saw this game live in the UK on Channel 5 - could not sleep for worrying - so relieved he survived
0:54 the man tearing, I feel bad for him 😔
Thank you for having the video YT be on that BS I'm just glad Hamlin is okay fr that was spooky
I've heard about this even though I'm from Massachusetts. He is so lucky that he did not die because he's only 24 and not everyone survives cardiac arrest. Update he just got released from the hospital. I bet there were kids at that game since this is a scary moment thank god he's alive
God is good
Of course you've heard about it. What is you being in Massachusetts have to do with anything? It's the NFL. Doesn't matter what state you're in dude you're going to hear about it
I seen this live on field. The moment he fell and the crowd went silent, I got down on my knees and prayed to God that he’d be ok. Hamlin was a true warrior, he was tough as can be. Love for Damar. Glad you made an amazing recovery.
Praying for Mr. Hamlin and his loved ones.
The fact that Joe Buck is experiencing real human emotion in this moment is telling.
This is so scary I feel so bad for the team and the way he just stoped the game and everyone came together and they where crying and did not just keep playing
The silence of the crowd lets you know how scary this was to witness
You could hear a pin drop in the crowd
I remember watching this live while playing cards at a friend's house. This happened pretty early on in the game, and we were eating Gold Star. We looked away for a second and turned back to people freaking out on the field. We slowly watched the audience in the stadium clear out, and then the message popped up on the screens in Paycor Stadium. It's one of the craziest moments I've seen in NFL, and I'm glad Damar Hamlin is okay
Im here because he returned back to practice. I cant tell u how much respect i got for this man to comeback from a situation like this💯
Seeing Diggs in tears is burned into my mind. I did not go to sleep that night, was so worried sick about him, thank god the medical staffs got to him so quick and were able to save his life!
Diggs and Hamlin are my favorite players on the bills, so diggs crying didn’t help how scary this already was.
This is a perfect reminder of how fragile life is-and that you’re never too young to have a backup plan. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, should have a POA appointed and a will (at the very least). When my mom was having back to back strokes and in the hospital for 8 months, they were ripping life saving money out of her bank because I didn’t have POA to cancel even the most mundane automated payments such as her Spectrum bill. I almost lost her house cuz i couldn’t pay the mortgage cuz I didn’t have POA. My mom was a vegetable for 4 months before she looked at me for the first time. You’d THINK there’d be emergency exceptions for stuff like this, but I promise you, there isn’t. No matter how young or healthy you are, AT LEAST get your POA appointed. Someone you trust with both your medical decisions AND your material assets (or two different people for each type of POA-medical & durable). Both mine and my moms lives are completely upside still to this day. Now 5 years later, we are poor and homebound since I can’t leave her side to even go grocery shopping unless I pay someone to watch her. She can only move her head and left arm, she can’t speak, can’t brush her own teeth or control her bathroom habits… our fun and carefree lives ended April 26, 2018. EVERYTHING can change in an instant. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best is my life’s motto now.
Wow. I'm so sorry y'all went through that and are still going through it.
Thank you for sharing.
I remember this night. I was bored and I turned on the game and me and my mom were watching it, just heated up some pizza rolls and was ready for football then after 3 plays, this happend. I was scared shitless cause it reminded me so much of dale earnhardts death I was worried. Couldn’t sleep at all that night all I did was keep checking twitter for any updates. Thank god he’s with us today!❤️
I was channel surfing and stopped on the Daytona 500. Three laps left so I decided to watch the end of the race. I wish I hadn't.
My husband's cousin was installing a wood floor years ago. A plank popped up out of the table saw and smacked him in the chest. Like Hamlin, he took about three steps backwards and went down. There was no medical team to save him.
I'm really glad Damar survived.
1:48, i saw half a second of an ad for some reason
I can't imagine what the players on both sides feel like this makes me ball every time I watch i imagine the look that whole team has its scary my moms uncle has gone into cardiac arrest 2 times in 4 days and is barely talking I don't even know him I went through 20 days of my grandpa dying it was so sudden my grandma died 2 years ago and my grandpa 1 year ago it's been even more hard as we just moved into there old house it a emotional roller coaster plus my cousin I hadn't seen sense my birthday came and saw us 1 week ago he was very close with my grandpa
Damar I'm a giants fan I'm 42 years old and son I gotta say I hope to see u play again as freak of a thing this was although I know it will live with u forever son u cannot let that get in ur way of ur dreams
Amen ur gonna be ok flex those muscles for the nation
Number 3 the freak
That type of hit is rare. It's one that emergency medical personnel address in advanced resuscitation measures. Gotta shock him within a minute for best outcome. The confusion of that first minute works against him. The enormous amount of prayers overcomes everything though. In retrospect, we medical people all know that made the biggest difference in his miraculous recovery.
Stay well and be kind
I've seen something similar to this in the UFC. Barboza vs Burgos. Burgos hit then a few seconds later fell asleep
Prayers? So god is why he survived? Why did god let this happen in the first place?
@@tugboat6940God why are atheists so annoying
Thank God this kid is ok stay strong brother. 🙏 🙏 🙏
This turned from one of the worst tragedies in sports to a great story with damar recently being cleared to play again
Gave me chills when the whole stadium was silent.
So glad he's still here 💜
I dont think the commentators saw him go down the way they initially were just like "man another injury that sucks"
This story fortunately has a happy ending. He should make a complete recovery. I don't know if he will play football again, but otherwise he will be ok. 🙏🏻🙏🙏🏾
9 minutes of CPR???
We’re is he?
I was at that game…Craziest thing I’ve ever scene in professional sports ! The crowd went from absolutely excitement and so loud you couldn’t hear the guy next you to absolutely quiet…You could hear a pin drop. I’m so glad it turned out ok ! Who Dey !
How come the ambulance has no company writing on it? That is very bizarre
It's on the back. It says something that begins with W then the word Health.
It says UC Medical Center but hard to read from a distance
What pissed me off about this game was just a couple month prior, I witnessed in person this same thing. Luckily it wasn’t as serious but they had to perform CPR on a middle school player on the opening kickoff
Cardiac arrest is so scary it can just happen no matter how healthy you are its wild
Although i belive there was something wrong with his heart
@@Voidchamber_gdexactly, it was waiting to happen and was going to happen one way or another, the hit just triggered it
Crazy how the whole crowd went completely quiet not a single sound you could hear a pin drop holy man I have never seen something like that
Yes, ESPN, he was surrounded by players of both teams exactly to stop your cameras from getting in there. The fact that you knew it was hard to see him meant you tried, which means their decision to surround him was right.
That’s not necessarily true. They said it was hard to but remember they thought it was just a hit and he needed to maybe get wheeled off with a broken limb or something.
If people want to watch football then they also need to see the ugly stuff. Football is not safe at all, so people should know.
@@cARTerresmith By the time the teams had gathered around, he had been getting CPR for over 9 minutes. No one thought it was a broken limb, everyone knew he had literally clinically died.
@@frederalbacon My apologies for my misunderstanding. I misunderstood the information about what had happened. Thank you.
@@vyros.3234 There's a big difference between showing the ugly stuff, and showing CPR. I was an EMT for 7 years in a high volume urban system, we didn't let family watch us work their loved ones because it is a traumatic sight, seeing someone's chest caved in with compressions, a tubed shoved down their throat for breathing, their body convulsing as shocks are delivered....no one needed to see that, any of that.
I'll never forget that night...
How insensitive could she have been? They both reiterated the focus but she just didn't get it!
Not sure she knew what she was saying just then.
The producers behind the scenes are telling her to say that
She was trying to be relevant but failed
i don’t know what you are referring to
As someone in media, I think she was grasping for some type of conversation as to not have dead air. I don't think she was thinking it all the way through.
That first guy knew. I got a feeling one of the first medical responders was a combat medic. He immediately recognized there was no heartbeat. Most injuries are concussions, but within 5 seconds he saw it cardiovascular and saved his life.
I hope Damar Hamlin gets better and gets back in NFL football and all the Buffalo Bills where praying for you to get better
As a CPR instructor I think everybody in the world should know Cpr just my opinion
Crimes against humanity 💉💉💉💉💉🩸🩸🩸🩸☠😈
He got hit in the chest and nothing else
I saw that live bro. That was scary bro. I was praying when I heard he went into cardiac arrest
That woman has no idea
I'm surprised they didnt get the back up on the field and keep the game going like they do with other injuries
Still gives me chills and makes me tear up seeing this. So, so glad this young man is okay. 🫶🏻
Love that the other team was so concerned and cared more about Damar than the game. Thats the reality of this game and that the players do care about eachother so much
Prayers for Damar. Will he play football again?
#64 on the bengals said a prayer they care so much about each other 0:26
Football is such a great sport but also so violent. These things happen. 😔 I’m glad it had a good outcome!
Yeah it wasn’t from the hit. This looks like cardiac arrest.
@@bretttutt7212 Cardiac nurse here & the hit to his chest caused the cardiac arrest. It’s rare, but it clearly can happen.
They don't
@@1fowllady310 definitely not a particular experiment put in us. It’s definitely from the hit… I’ve been watching football / played football. Never have I seen such an occurrence. But ok.
@@bretttutt7212 from the vaccine
I was just coming home from work when this was unfolding, my dad watching this game on TV. I've never seen anything like this, and when I tell you, the whole house was silent. I was really scared for Damar. I was really hoping he was going to survive. I prayed, hoped, and checked on Twitter over the next several days, and to say I was overjoyed to hear his health improving and him surviving this entire ordeal would be an understatement. This guy's only about my age! I'm so happy Damar is healthy and now back in action as the Bills safety! I may have been a Bears fan my whole life, but I have a special place in my heart for both the Bills and the Bengals!
My opinion is I love how all his teammates were like huddling him and making sure he was okay but the other team was just chilling ( until the end though )

After coming back to this horrible tragedy, this will remain as NFL history. One of the most scariest, heart dropping moments ever caught in football ❤
I just hate how uncertain it all is but on the brighter side no news means he’s not dead
The silence after the noise of the crowd cheering for their favourite team must've been deafening
he even throws up 666 and triangle signs when hes in that glass room if you watch video when hes back
We all saw it. Except that wasn't him
Stupid ass
Man even the announcer couldn’t keep it together, thanks god this guy made it 🤍🤍
You guys have to pray for damar even if he doesn’t believe in god.god loves everyone even if they don’t believe in him
