THE man was clinging to life.

One of the passengers who offered aid was none other than Tebow himself.
Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow. The man regained consciousness when the flight landed. There has been no word on Tebow’s involvement and the former Heisman Trophy victor also didn’t post anything about it, so the story hasn’t been fully confirmed.
A report from abcnews.com stated the man collapsed – a fact that has been confirmed by Delta Air Lines and Tebow’s management team.
‘Tim helped the family deplane with their baggage’. Someone had a medical emergency, and of course, Tebow just happened to be there to help that family during their time of need.
It was at this time that Tebow, yes, the guy that sparked that annoying Tebowing trend, entered the scene.
Gotti said he then noticed a man walking down the aisle and realized it was Tebow. That guy was Tim Tebow.
Gotti added, “He met with the family as they cried on his shoulder!”
According to another passenger’s account, Tebow prayed with an entire section. He made a stand for God in a hard situation.
Most of the 177 passengers aboard the Boeing 737-900 could only watch as crew members communicated with their medical ground service, STAT-MD, on how to help the man.
Tebow also helped transport the man’s family to the hospital with a auto that was arranged for him, according to the Times-Union.
The man was taken to a Phoenix-area hospital upon arrival and survived.
I have to share this story!
A passenger appeared to have heart problem and went unconscious, prompting surrounding passengers to jump in and help. Other passengers and staffers reportedly aided as well in the form of chest compressions, starting an IV, among other methods off assistance. Gotti said they used an AED but the man still had no pulse. No one gave up.
Richard Gotti posted on his Facebook the man was given CPR and shocks from an automated defibrillator.

Both passengers agreed that the Delta crew kept the situation under control.
