We poke fun at his elongated release and insufficient accuracy, but when it comes to what he does off the field, Tim Tebow is in a class of his own.
The former NFL Star and Heisman Trophy winner was on a Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta to Phoenix on Sunday when a man on the flight suffered a heart attack. Members of the plane crew rushed to the aid of the passenger, while Tebow decided to help by praying with the family.
Richard Gotti, a witness of the incident, spoke about the scene via a Facebook post
“I have to share this story! I was traveling on Delta Airlines Flight Number 1772 from Atlanta, Georgia to Phoenix, Arizona when there was a medical emergency on board,” he said. “An older gentleman began having what appeared to be heart problems, and he went unconscious. I watched strangers from all over the world and every ethnicity come to the help of this man for over an hour! Whether it was chest compressions, starting an IV, helping breathe life into this man, or praying everyone helped! I listened to shock after shock from the AED machine and still no pulse. No one gave up. I observed people praying and lifting this man up to the Lord in a way that I’ve never seen before. The crew of Delta Airlines were amazing. They acted in a fast and professional manner! Then all of a sudden, I observed a guy walking down the aisle. That guy was Tim Tebow. He met with the family as they cried on his shoulder! I watched Tim pray with the entire section of the plane for this man. He made a stand for God in a difficult situation. The plane landed in Phoenix and that was the first time they got a pulse back! Please share this with your friends! Pray for this man and his family, and also thank God that we still have people of faith who in times of difficulty look to the Lord!”
The plane wound up landing in Phoenix and the unidentified man was rushed to the hospital where he unfortunately died, according to multiple reports.
