- When an airline passenger chokes on a piece of meat, two doctors must perform an operation with a pocket knife. This segment was taken from Episode 414 which aired on January 26, 1993 on CBS.

Born in 1902. That man came from the horse and buggy days to a modern jet liner cruising at 37,000 feet in the 1990's...God Bless Him. Apparently, he was a wireless operator with morse code at one time in his life.
If he was 89 in 1990 he was probably born in 1900 1901
I love those doctors. Calm, cool, and collected. "If the man lives to get an infection, then we've done a great job."
Yeah but their flight was delayed, did US Air do refunds.
They did a great job, alright! They saved his life!
Awesome job. Very lucky to have docs on the plane. There was a similar story where a man had a bleed on the lung and they asked if there was a doctor on the plane. About 100 hands went up. There were a load of senior doctors going to a convention. 2 of the British docs were actually lung specialists! They operated on the patient with clingfilm and a wire coat hanger!
That old man in this story was so lucky. As soon as I heard the old man speaking I knew he was Welsh under the Yorkshire accent!
Wow! 🤯
This man just encapsulates everything I love about being British. He never fretted and came up with some hilarious lines in his end segment.
Also shows another example of us Brits and the Americans loving each other. There's a special bond between our nations
I've been a first aider for 22yrs & I'm training to become a physician assistant. This is one of the things you have to be ready for, but you hope you'll never have to do! It can so easily go wrong, but by it's very nature, this is one of the things you have to do as a last resort when the heimlich maneuver doesn't work. This is every medics worst nightmare because of how easily it can go wrong, no matter how well trained you are. These guys did such an awesome job!
Tell us where your career is now, 9 years after posting this message. I suspect you’ve done well.
OMG he saved a man! With his bare hands. I am so impressed. And there was a "teammate" for him too which was awesome.
Americans helping a British friend in need shown here and vice versa elsewhere. This is one tie that binds both America and Britain as well as many other countries so closely together, and I hope it NEVER stops; helping people in need that is.
Back befoe I was born, in the day when having a Swiss Army Knife was like having a phone today.
Aziz Zeidieh i know right? i still love mine
I have a phone today and another 40 Swiss Army Knives
I have 1 phone and about 20 Swiss army knifes
In this scenario, Dr. Sanders and Dr. Plotkins really did a great at improvising. (Swiss army knife, pen for a tube, etc.)
I agree!
We expect the elder man has passed away, yes. Shocking is the main doctor featured here, Dr. Charles Plotkin, passed away on December 2, 2010, at the age of 52.
That's sad way too early to go. I am sure he was a really good doctor that he was able to pull this off.
How did the doctor die? :(
@@LoudPet636 You obviously don't care judging from the disrespectful answer you gave.
@@AnuRMusicVideos he had a stroke
Thats really sad
"I remember my last thought being 'well if this is dying then there's nothing to it.'" This the most British statement I've read.
This show should start being produced again. Shatner and Shapiro were a great tag team.
It’s always good to hear a good Swiss Army Knife story.
“Well if this is dying then there’s nothing to it” fucking love this man
Very non-chalant reaction.
I wish this was still aired on TV I love this I have learned so much from it!
What a lovely couple. With God’s help the anesthesiologists on the flight gave the Welsh couple some more years together.
They show had researchers who looked up news articles and called various rescue agencies to see if they had any interesting rescue stories. Sometimes the people involved wrote to the show to submit their story for consideration.
Unless Mr. Sykes is 111 yr.s old, he and Dr Plotkin are getting re-acquainted in the afterlife ! So sorry the Dr. died so young, glad Mr. Sykes lived so long.
Hello from 2020
I wonder how much longer he lived after this (1993), could have maybe lived to the late 90s
@@xennial80sxberner I heard he passed away in 1997
Jack Sykes passed away in June 1997 aged 95. He invented some kind of morse code device called S-R Cotel. He was also known by his amateur radio callsign, G3SRK.
Yes, he hosted Rescue 911 for all seven seasons.
That old guy seems like a legend - 91 years old (when this was filmed) and still pretty with-it.
"If this is dying, there's nothing to it"!! lol
📍This is an amazing episode! Thank goodness for those two doctors on board the airplane. Then to see them at the end, a very sweet elderly couple been together for 44 years they said. 💞 They seemed so happy.. R.I.P. 🙏 What he said at the end is how I have always Been & I thought I was the only one that thought that way for awhile.. about the last word always being ‘I love you’❣️With Everyone in my family I always make sure to say “I love you”, and then hang up the phone or leave. If anyone happens to say bye, then I have to redo the whole thing. 🤦♀️ Now with my six year old son I do the same thing, so like.. “ I love you.. have a good day...see you later ...love you..” I’m glad I do I’ve had family members pass away and I’m very glad the last thing I said was “I love you” Just last week My uncle passed away from a massive heart attack so this really hit close. I’m still in shock and believe when we have the service it will hit.. I’m very worried about my 93 yr old grandmother and my mother and don’t know what to do.. I’ve been avoiding it and just thinking what needs to be done.. he lives in Toronto and we are in Florida so his children are going to bring him down after he’s...ready.. sorry.. can’t say it.. anyhow.. great episode.. thank goodness for the Doctors..
Always tell your loved ones that you love them..
Stay safe everyone..❤️☮️💙☯️❤️✝️💙
I hope you never change
i remember watching this show when I was like 5... love it.
Me too!!
oh my goodness, that little old man is adorable!
There are many wonderful stories about how great Swiss Army Knives are and what they've done to help people and this is one of the best! They've also helped NASA astronauts in space, climbers on Mount Everest and just this year helped two men reach the North Pole.
I remember seeing this when it was BRAND NEW...wow..time flies..
My dad's ⌚ has the logo of a Swiss Army knife. NEVER EVER eat your food in large pieces at all. Choking occurs and it's important that you MUST cut your food in small pieces with knives that are made special for cutting it into teensy weensy pieces at all times. NEVER EVER use knives for stabbing.
Amazing this 89-year-old man survive the choking onboard that plane. The best part I think is the man said he always tells his wife "I love you" before he goes to sleep. Thank god they we're two doctors onboard.
When the the passenger appears and says "I'm a doctor" you can see the look of relief on that flight attendant's face. Looks like "oh thank god. This is all yours!"
Awww, ❤ that a precious 💑 Awesome teamwork and quick thinking saved his life. ❤
Today's the 28th anniversary of when this happened. If those people hadn't come to help, Jack would've died. They're both in heaven now.
Jack and Dr. Plotkin.
this doc is a hero
Those doctors were angels sent from above!!
What a great ending to the story. So I wonder what would happen if this happened today, considering the chance of a real knife getting on board is probably pretty slim.
"I don't think my husband's breathing" *camera pans to obvious looking dead man*.
That made me automatically go, "oh Geez" lol
Wow, I remember seeing this as a kid a long time a go. Thank-you for uploading.
Well only flight attendants are allowed knives on the planes nowadays.
phillies4100 in what country?
Watch the one where a man gets stabbed through the heart and knife pulses every time his heart beats, and see if you still think this is the sickest. It's segment 4 from Episode 211.
Charlie Plotkin r.i.p.
I doubted if that gentleman is still alive today
Sadly, he isn't. He passed away in 1997
He was given 4 more years of life tho
@@jeremymedlock9626 Did you find his obituary?
If he was still alive today he would be over 120 years old
You can tell this was back in the day -- people could actually carry knives onboard. Nowadays people panic if you have toenail clippers, lol.
Goose bumps! Such wonderful people on that flight.
What a sweet man, i hope he has a peaceful passing
Man, this show was the best. I wish tha they will show it again.
I know this was pre-9/11 but I find it funny how two things happened. 1.) Pocket knife allowed on aircraft and 2.) The Flight Attendant just walked right into the flight deck without any problems getting in, as if the door was unlocked.
ERAUPRCWA guess you're too young to know what it was like before 9-11
The various post-9/11 changes to air travel make me wonder if this story would have still had a happy ending if it had happened today.
The flight attendants still have access to the coded doors. Knives are indeed a no-no today.
it just kills me to see an old guy suffer :(
-Slits a man's neck-
"I didn't anticipate any bleeding."
I think that he meant to say he didn't expect bleeding on that level. A tracheotomy will always produce some blood but this man was bleeding to death. An emergency tracheotomy is one of the worst situations someone can find themselves in. You can train for 20 years and it's still nearly impossible to perform perfectly
Aww so glad he made it. X
Well it shows the spirit of TEAM in the united states of america god bless the usa , being english it makes me proud that america are are parters
On a personal note we thank you for helping the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq with our war on terrorism campain.THANK YOU and God bless America and Great Britain
We may have had a bad start, but we've become good friends ever since. Thanks for making us.
If I was there when he said he'd have to cut the neck I would have been like "WHAT?!?" then once he started I would have gone "omg..." then fainted. O_O
Wuss!
definitely a throwback watching this in the 90's (will be 29 in a week) and still have my swiss army knife from 1997
These people reminds me of my grandparents Boy do I miss them lots.
How sweet to tell her he loves her every night before he sleeps in case he doesn't wake up :) ^^
I still remember seeing this on the night it aired for the first time.
This is the sickest, most awesomest Rescue 911 ever, there can be no debate. Genius! Better than MacGyver or whatever his name was ... He's before my time LOL
I remember this one well!! It was interesting, because 1) It's a choking segment. 2) It's in an airplane where getting to a hospital would be very not practical because they are so high up!!
@WhatPost You have to remember that this was PRE 9/11 so back then you were allowed to have one. If this were to happen today the man would probably die because no one on board would have the knife to be able to save his life.
He looks like a sweet old man, he is so cute.
I don't think the Swiss Army knife materialized, someone had it with them. He made it seem like the knife appeared from thin air like a ghost knife.
GHOST KNIFES EXIST!?!
👻🔪
I love the flight attendant guy's voice. It sounds just like Mandark from Dexter's Lab.
I remember seeing this episode a long time ago.
I was going through security at Gatwick in 1989, six months after the Pan Am/Lockerbie massacre. Security cop asks me, "Do you have any weapons?"
I say, "I have a Swiss Army knife."
He replies, "Oh, everybody's in the Swiss Army these days!" And waves me through. They weren't looking for little knives back then, just guns and bombs.
That all changed on 9/11 . . .
tsa allows the really small knives now
God bless them doctors
Such a good job, guys!!
Not today!!
I once had a really bad choking incident when I was 18. I just had my wisdom teeth pulled out and I had a bad reaction to the medication (took them wrong). I was so hungry afterwords that mom made me venison chops before she left for an errand ( I shot that deer myself). While I was busy snarfing down the venison a piece got lodged in my throat. Terrified, I could not dislodge the piece, I started to get dizzy. Then I remembered that I can't brush my tongue because it gives me a gag reflex.
Thank you so much for uploading. I fondly remember this episode, especially the "I love you" bit :-)
To everybody that wants to know:
In jet airliners normally there is at least one emergency first aid kit and a bag whit drugs and other advanced equippment for healtcare professionals! (Paramedics, Nurses, Physicians) and sometimes even a defibrillator (AED or semi-auto) depending on airline and local laws
deeply grateful must he
When he was bleeding and people said that they haven't seen much blood, well dur, he was cut in the neck where some of the big blood vessels are!
It was one of the doctors who said he had not seen so much blood, even in surgery.
doesnt he look like he'd be a great grandpa . . . they are soooo sweet to together
He's such a sweet man and loves his wife so much. I love to see couples like that.
Omg, relationship goals!!
I saw an article about it and the plane took off from Syracuse, NY.
YAY for the strong English spirit!
I think that was actual footage of a plane flying, but they probably borrowed it from a US Air advertisement or something like that.
Such a charming dear couple. ❤
The camera footage makes the reenactments seem so real
wow....that's horrible. May he RIP.
I think planes should carrie first aid kits and knifes for emergency
Taylor, I know Southwest carries the kit..
They do...
Jack died in 1997
Jessy Leppert i did't think he was still alive
+Jessy Leppert So sorry to hear that, but I'm glad he survived this incident. Rest in Peace Mr. Jack Sykes.
Are ya a relative of his?
How do you know that?
Jessy Leppert oh no :( that's one year after I was born
I like this video all the people who helped i wish could bring together and let them make up for lost time such a beautiful ending
You mean Richard Dean Anderson who plays MacGuyver!! He's awesome!!
I know that this situation was not at all funny, but still, I chuckled a little at the plastic knife incident.
"No, no! A real knife, not this shit! A REAL KNIFE!!"
But seriously, I was very glad that the guy pulled through, though.
Those doctors are true heroes 🦸
People tend to do stupid shit when they panic, and it COULD have ben done with a plastic knife.
Now no more knives on airplanes
Meals were being served? Wow, this is a long time ago.
bhstone1 they could be in first class. In first class, they serve you meals depending on the airline
"If the man lives to get an infection, you've done a great job."
This wouldn't have worked in this day and age. There is no knives...*sigh*
Thank you allgood so much for the tip!!
It aired from 1989-1996. This particular segment was from a 1993 episode.
@melodie973 CBS was behind in the ratings in the 1994-1995 season, so they cancelled a bunch of their old shows to try out new ones. Rescue 911 was one of the shows that got cancelled.
Yes. Search for "Rescue 911 211"
In a situation where a man's life depends on every second not to be wasted, a wrong move like being handed a plastic knife can mean a second closer to him dying.
Lovely old Welsh man :)
this is kind of a reason why i dont eat food on a plane except water
how can a swiss army knife get on board of a plane?!
@bluesy92 most airlines have a doctor's kit on board which has scalpels, stitching tools bandages etc. They are usually sealed and accessible only to the cabin crew.
i went through cancer treatment and now i look at other peoples blood or cutting skin and big needles it gives me unease
I can't believe that someone would let someone bring a KNIFE on board an air plane. That would be so dangouros because someone would probally would not do anything with it, but you never know.
