that s the same type of aircraft and missile that shot down the chinese balloon off the coast of south carolina. one of the questions we asked at the pentagon briefing was if there was so much intelligence to gain by letting the previous balloon fly across the united states and being able to observe it, why was this one shot down so quickly especially when the senators were furious it wasn t shot down earlier. was the pentagon wbowing to political pressure. the decision to shoot it down before it entered into u.s. airspace, the pentagon bowing to pressure from the hill? we re going to judge each of these objects on its own merits. it entered into u.s. airspace on february 9th. we sent up aircraft to assess what it was. the decision was made that it posed a reasonable threat to civilian air traffic. the president gave the order to take it down and we took it down. in the end this was shot down just a few miles over the water. that water frozen so it did essentially fall
the real issue. what if it happened a few miles away? it would have been a different outcome. you can do cpr until you are blue in the face, and it s never going to restart the heart. it s 100% access to an aed within a timely period. where you live makes a big difference. for example, in ohio and michigan, more than 70% of public schools had aeds but in locations that simply couldn t be reached in time. in oregon, half of schools had an aed accessible within four minutes of all sport venues. in vermont, 81% have an aed, but 16% had them at fields or arenas. half the time, they were in the nurse s office or the lobby. there is an example athletic trainers are critical. schools with them were more likely to have aeds.
