First responders and TSA officers jumped in to save a pilot in cardiac arrest.
While TSA Officer Nigel Allen and Lead TSA Officer Trenard Collier were in the middle of their daily security operations, they noticed a pilot on the other side of the atrium staggering.“He just left and went into a gallop to be the first one on the scene and comfort him,” said Chuck Burke, TSA federal security director at Richmond International Airport.“Next thing you know, he dropped to the ground. I ran over just to make sure he was OK.
Both Richmond Police Chief Tanika Brown and Richmond Fire Chief Doug Martin were in a meeting when they got the call about the pilot collapsing. At first, the call was for a person down but then it was upgraded.Both fire and police crews rushed to the airport.Professionals took over CPR for Allen while he ran to get an automated external defibrillator.
“Police, the fire and rescue, everybody else, they knew what they were doing, and that’s what saved his life,” Burke said.“I couldn’t be prouder of my team and my staff and how they support not only the national mission of protecting airways but the community and provide service like that without giving it a thought,” Burke said.
