Buried alive under tons of wreckage, one man lived to tell the tale.<\/p>\n

All thanks to an iPhone App.<\/p>\n

Dan Woolley had arrived in Haiti to film the poverty-stricken nation for the mission organization Compassion International. He and his colleague were at their hotel in Port-Au-Prince when the earthquake struck.<\/p>\n

Taking cover in an elevator shaft and sustaining a broken leg and a cut head, the situation was so dire that Woolley, fearing the worst, wrote his final goodbyes to his family in a blood-stained notebook.<\/p>\n

Miraculously, however, Woolley was able to survive his 65-hour ordeal by following the advice of a First-Aid App on his iPhone, which taught him how to create a bandage and tourniquet for his leg. The App also\u00c2\u00a0advised\u00c2\u00a0against falling asleep should he be in shock – and so Woolley set his iPhone alarm to go off continuously every 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

It’s striking to us how lucky Woolley was to have an Internet connection, the right App, and a functioning iPhone in that moment of need. We’re just thankful that Woolley had the right technology and the human strength to get home to his family alive.<\/p>\n
