Ravens TE Mark Andrews Saves Woman’s Life on Airplane
In a heroic act that transcends the football field, Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews came to the rescue of a woman in distress during a recent flight. The incident occurred on a Southwest flight from Baltimore to Phoenix, and it was a diabetes-related medical emergency that prompted Andrews to spring into action.
The heart-stopping moment unfolded on Thursday, Feb. 1, when a passenger on the flight took to social media to share the incredible story. According to eyewitness Andrew Springs, the woman was in dire straits, with a weak pulse and extremely low blood pressure. Thankfully, Andrews, who himself suffers from Type 1 diabetes, recognized the signs and offered his assistance.
As the medical professionals on board struggled to stabilize the woman, Andrews calmly retrieved his diabetic testing kit. With his guidance, they were able to stabilize her heart rate and ensure her well-being until the flight landed. It was a true display of heroism from the Ravens’ star player.
Upon landing, paramedics were waiting to provide further medical attention. Andrews, however, quietly exited the plane without seeking any recognition. This selfless act is a testament to his character and his willingness to step up in the face of adversity.
In a statement released through the Ravens’ social media, Andrews acknowledged the efforts of the flight attendants, nurses, and doctors who also played a crucial role in the rescue. It is clear that this incident left a lasting impact on Andrews, as he expressed his gratitude for the strangers who came together to save a life.
While injuries limited Andrews to just 10 games this season, he proved that his heroism extends beyond the football field. With the fewest catches since his rookie year, Andrews may not have made headlines for his on-field performance, but his actions on that Southwest flight have undoubtedly solidified his status as a true hero.
In a world filled with uncertainty, it is heartwarming to witness complete strangers unite in the face of adversity. Mark Andrews’ selfless act serves as a reminder that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places.
