Was watching from section 466...
He went down, looked like he got tangled up and the tripped, kind of chaotic, shot putters doing their thing.
No one was there to check him out immediately. After a minute or two, someone came over, seemed to be assessing him, leaning over him, almost seemed to be talking to him or seeing if he was breathing.
Then all hell broke loose, an EMT onsite came over, realized the gravity of the situation, and started all out cpr. She is trying to get this guy back to life while the race is still going.
Other medical personal start running out to the track. Looked like some docs with emergency care experience were on site, they joined the care team.
The race continues. Lapping around while the emt is still pumping away. The crowd is silent and framed out. F*****ing race continues and looks like he is plain cold dead with emt and random docs still pumping away.
After what seems ages full emergency response team shows up. NBC tried to run a 400 meter race but the crowd boos and shakes them and anyway there’s about a dozen NYPD and NYFD guys in lanes 1 - 5 so nbc stands down.
Clearly NHRR and millrose have no idea what to do in this situation. There was a not insignificant delay in response to the down runner, he kind of laid there a while before anyone bothered to check him out and then we’re all watching to see if anyone will take action.
