This Image was taken by Rocco Morabito last 1967 an award-winning photo entitled as "Kiss of Life" the photo shows a 'Life Giving Kiss'.
A brief story about the photograph:
The two Power Linemen named, Randall Champion (The Fainting Guy in the image) and J.D Thompson (The one who is performing the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation). The two of them are performing a routine maintenance when Randall Champion accidentally brushed one of the High-Voltages line at the very top, these lines can be heard "Buzzing" with over a 4000 volts flowing in it(Electric Chair uses 2000 volts), that instantly stopped Champion's Heart.
His safety harness prevented him to fall, and Thompson below him, quickly reached him and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Thompson was unable to give him a CPR due to the circumstances, but he continued breathing into Randall's lungs until he felt a slight pulse on Randall's, he then unbuckled his harness and carried him on his shoulder, at the ground a Co-worker administered the CPR and revived by the time that the Paramedics arrived.
Champion survived and lived for 35 years extra until he died for a heart failure 2002. While Thompson is still living until today!
