Time Travel Through History With These Vintage Photos

This relatively unknown photograph was a major sensation at the time and actually earned the photographer a Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography. The photo was snapped when the photographer was on his way to a completely unrelated assignment and saw a man hanging from a telephone pole. Apparently he had received a serious electric shock which knocked him unconscious. Another lineman quickly rushed up to give him life-saving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Thankfully the man lived through the ordeal.
This moment was forever immortalized completely by chance. Lucky for us, this keen newspaper photographer recognized a good story and an even better shot when he saw the scene unfolding. The man who was saved lived a full life, and the life saver is still with us today.
