Glasgow Helicopter Aftermath

There have been reports, many reports, of the uninjured and walking wounded survivors of the Glasgow helicopter crash re-entering the pub to bring the injured out before the emergency services arrived on the scene. This was a stupidly dangerous thing for them to do and could have easily cost them their lives if an aviation-grade fuel fire had broken out. It was also an insanely brave act that probably saved numerous lives and allowed the first responders to triage the injured far faster than would otherwise have been possible.

These are the people I wish we were more often.  

James gained ITEM: SHAVING NEWSPAPER (minus 10 Damage)

One of my little first aid tips for home use. I did not know this until the other day when my boss introduced me to the idea. I cut myself shaving quite often and I'd always been taught to hold some paper towel over the cut until it stopped by itself. As it turned out I was doing it wrong.

  

What you need for a shaving cut, as my boss revealed to me, is newspaper. Seriously, something about the particular paper stock they use not only stops the bleeding really fast it also seems to help the healing process a little.

  

Don't use the Daily Mail, though, you might catch something.
