Be careful before you bite into that doughnut -- it is National Doughnut Day, after all.
A woman started choking at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint line at JFK International Airport earlier this week. She had been eating a doughnut, which got stuck in her throat and caused her to stop breathing and go limp.
TSA supervisory behavior detection officer Glenn Davis stepped in and attempted to use the Heimlich maneuver, according to a TSA news release.
“The woman started to turn blue. She had no pulse,” Davis said. “We tried CPR. I started with chest compressions and I instructed her husband to pinch her nose and breathe into her mouth.”
After about five minutes, the woman started to cough and regained consciousness. She returned to a stable condition, but it’s unclear whether she has eaten a doughnut since.
“Today might be Doughnut Day, but there’s one woman who is probably going to say ‘No thanks’ if someone offers her one of the sweet treats today,” a TSA spokesperson said.
