The Kiss Of Life


Taken in 1967 by Rocco Morabito, this is one of the most powerful photographs we’ve seen. Called the Kiss... of Life photo, it shows a utility worker named J.D. Thompson giving mouth-to-mouth to co-worker Randall G. Champion after he went unconscious following contact with a high voltage line.

What’s even more incredible is Champion not only survived this thanks to Thompson, but he lived an extra 35 years. He died in 2002. Thompson is still alive today.

Share this powerful image and story. It shows selflessness and goodness in a sometimes evil world.

Read the behind the story here:

Now what if this was a story about two wire workers falling in love, would it still be as cool?
