davidsog, please believe me when I say that I am not trying to be argumentative, but I will continue to point out that, for those seven victims to survive, they need immediate ALS treatment to have a chance at arriving at a level 1 trauma center. If every person in the country were trained to the level of an EMT basic, which is extremely unreasonable to believe would happen in any case, it would still be very unlikely that the seven 'survivable' victims would get the initial treatment needed to survive. The article supposes that the level of treatment needed for those seven to survive would be available every time, all the time, everywhere. It is a very unreasonable assumption on their part. It just is not possible in the real world, but it sure would be nice if it were so!
