45 Minutes Had Past

When the helicopter landed on the ground, the paramedics would see a line of around 20 people waiting to take their turn in helping bring Howard back to life. By the time they got there, they had been doing CPR on him for over 45 minutes.

Why Didn’t They Stop?

Goodman would even go on to say that normally CPR doesn’t go on for that long. Considering that he didn’t have a pulse and wasn’t breathing, he really should have been proclaimed dead already by that time. He was wondering why they didn’t give up, but it would seem that no one wanted to, and thank goodness for that.
