The account afterwards alive up were like actuality in the Twilight Zone, Nick said. One day beforehand he had taken allotment in the Hunterdon Central football team’s playoff accident to Piscataway. He already had been cerebration about abutting season, his chief year, and accepting added in the postseason. Now, he was in a hospital allowance with a assistant allurement if he knew about the crisis that had aloof happened.
Less than an hour later, Nick’s parents and brother reunited with him at the hospital. “He was talking to us like this never happened,” Tom Zahos said.
He remembered watching the Steelers game, afresh nothing. He acquainted fine, added than his chest was abscessed from Tommy’s compressions.
This abundant was assertive at that point:
Nick had, for affidavit alien to anyone complex appropriately far, suffered abrupt cardiac arrest.
And Tommy had adored his life.
‘UNBELIEVABLY BRAVE’

He kept hurdling the obstacles, attractive to Tommy for inspiration.
