Buffalo-Niagara International Airport employee Transportation Services Administration (TSA) Marie Benny was on her break on Wednesday last week when she began to choke after she ate a granola bar inside of the lunchroom.
Supervisory Officer William Brand who was checking in to work saw Marie waving her arms since she could not speak due to the lack of air when William who admitted that he has never used the Heimlich maneuver to use five compressions to remove the food particle from Marie's body so she could breathe once again.
Federal Security Director Brad Johnson did praise William for saving the life of his fellow employees at work.

Good, anyone working with the public should be proficient with it.

@snowy22315 He said there had been some deaths through it not being done properly. George wrote a post today about another saved with this manoeuvre. I'm not sure what to think.

I see that this manoeuvre is often used in America, and is often successfully used, as here too.
Quick action saved the day here.
The manoeuvre should be a part of all good first-aid training courses.
