EL JOVEN QUE PERDIÓ SUS BRAZOS Y VOLVIÓ ENTERO
SU DETERMINACIÓN SALVÓ SU VIDA EN SOLO MINUTOS
⚠️¡SIGUE @ULTIMAHORAENX PARA MÁS!
En 1992 John Thompson tenía 18 años y trabajaba solo en la granja familiar de Hurdsfield, Dakota del Norte. Una máquina agrícola le arrancó ambos brazos. Sangrando, caminó hasta la casa, abrió la puerta con la boca, llamó al 911 sosteniendo un lápiz con los dientes y se metió en la bañera para no manchar la alfombra nueva. Los cirujanos de Minneapolis reimplantaron los brazos con éxito. Seis semanas después salió del hospital y dijo: bajé en tres piezas y me voy a casa en una. La historia volvió a viralizarse hoy en redes.

I just signed and announced a nationwide E15 and E10 fuel waiver to fortify U.S. fuel supply. This waiver ensures a robustly available supply of domestic fuel, providing Americans further relief at the pumps, and reducing our reliance on foreign oil. This means lower energy costs for ALL Americans—fulfilling President Trump’s Day One Executive Orders. epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-for…

Ethanol plays an important role in America’s energy and agricultural economy.
Made from homegrown corn, ethanol helps power our vehicles while supporting farmers, creating rural jobs, and strengthening local communities. It also helps reduce emissions and gives consumers a reliable, affordable fuel option at the pump.
From the corn field to the fuel tank, ethanol is a great example of how agriculture drives innovation and energy independence. When you choose fuel blended with ethanol, you’re supporting American farmers and rural economies. 🌽⛽
