An American filmmaker trapped under rubble in last week's Haiti earthquake credits an iPhone app with helping him survive.
Stuck for 65 hours in the lobby of his Port-au-Prince hotel, Dan Woolley turned to an iPhone first-aid app he'd downloaded to look up treatment of excessive bleeding and compound fracture. He then used his shirt to make a tourniquet for a gash in his leg and a sock to stanch the bleeding from his head wound.
According to an MSNBC story on Woolley's ordeal, the app also instructed him not to fall asleep if he felt he was going into shock, so he set his phone's alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
