It's not everyday you learn a life-saving maneuver from a famous children's television show. For seventh grader Brandon Williams, that's exactly where he learned the Heimlich maneuver. At Barnes Intermediate School, Brandon saved a classmate's life by learning the Heimlich from Spongebob Squarepants.
After seeing his classmate Jessica choking on an apple during school, Brandon took the initiative to help her out by performing the Heimlich after seeing it on an episode of Spongebob Squarepants.
