Little Jacob O'Connor is only ten years old but has become a true hero by save the life of his brother Dylan, only two years old, who took out of a pool in an unconscious state and practiced cardiorespiratory maneuvers.
When asked how and when he had learned to do that, the boy replied that watching the movie of "San Andres", so that his main actor, Dwayne Johnson, decided to echo it on his Instagram account and congratulate this brave little who has qualified as "a hero in real life".
When reality surpasses fiction
Jacob O'Connor, ten, was at his grandmother's house with his younger brothers Gavin and Dylan. The three watched television when little Dylan, two years old, opened the garden door and went outside falling into the pool in an oversight.
When Jacob saw his brother floating in the water, he had been unconscious for almost a minute, so he quickly took him out and began to make chest compressions. He didn't stop until Dylan started coughing, at which point he left him alone to go find his grandmother.
It is not easy, even for an adult, to act with the temperance with which Jacob acted, and to practice cardiorespiratory maneuvers. So when asked where he had learned to do that, everyone was surprised with his answer:
"In the" San Andres "movie, there is a great earthquake and then a tsunami. There is a father who saves his daughter from the water and does the same to him"
"San Andres", little Jacob's favorite movie, recreates a survival story after the magnitude 9 earthquake at the San Andreas fault, California.
"What I have done they do in most of the movies. First they try to save the person and if it doesn't work, they will look for someone" - commented the little one in an interview with television.
Dylan was taken to a hospital and discharged days later without any neurological damage detectable, and although he is still too young to realize what happened, one day he will understand the heroism of his older brother who has undoubtedly saved his life.
