12-Year-Old Saves Therapist From Downing After Remembering A Scene From ‘Stranger Things’ - Inspirational Videos

A young man saved his behavioral therapist from drowning in a pool and used a technique he saw on the popular Netflix series “Stranger Things” to do so.

Too much of anything is usually a bad idea, especially entertainment. TV shows and movies are good, allowing people a brief escape from everyday worries and stresses. But consuming too much, binge-watching an entire season or a full series of a show in a small amount of time isn’t great. 

However, one young man in Florida showed that sometimes TV, even a massively popular science fiction program, can be educational. That’s because 12-year-old Austin MacMillian saved the life of Jason Piquette, his therapist, and did so by using something he witnessed while viewing an episode of “Stranger Things.”

The clip posted on YouTube states that Austin and Jason were both in the pool when the young man soon noticed something was wrong. Jason had gone underwater, wanting to see how long he could hold his breath. After a while, Jason does not resurface, and that’s when Austin springs into action.

The video shows the young man dragging Jason to the shallow end and propping his face out of the water. Jason said that seeing the young man do that caused him to have chills.

“To see him go under the water and somehow get ahold of me and swim me to the shallow end and up on the stairs is, it’s like, incredible,” Jason said. “I got chills.”

Once Austin got Jason to the shallow end, he started calling for help, hoping someone could help him. But no one was around, and so Austin took matters into his own hands. He conducted CPR, which he had spotted on “Stranger Things.” 

Eventually, Austin dislodged water from Jason’s body, and he started breathing once again.

Austin saved Jason’s life that day. The young man is the true definition of a hero!
