A high school student in California experienced a severe choking incident during lunchtime, but thanks to the fast responses of peers and educators, his life was saved.

Their combined efforts, witnessed by security cameras, turned what could have been a tragedy into a triumphant story of teamwork and readiness.
"Within about 30 seconds, he turned purple. Because at that point, it wasn't just a seizure. He was also choking."
