Three Yr Old Boy Dies Wdw !!!

I am crying my eyes out writing this. My sister is a 1st grade teacher and a teacher in her school went to WDW at Easter w/her 5yr old DD & 3 yr old DS. The 3 y old choked on a hot dog and DIED. The hiemlich , nothing worked. The crowds were so bad the ambulance couldn't get through in time. I am sooo angry why did't Disney security clear a path a head of time, where were the nurses or EMTs? Or didn't Disney want to disturb the illusion nothing bad happens at Disney. I know from my EMT training that a hot dog is just the right size to lodge in a little throat(think garden hose). I only recently let my son have hot dogs & then only after I split it in half & skinned it. But the ER doctor told the woman that a hot dogs skin can expand in a throat & make it difficult to dislodge. This poor woman is in her 1st trimester of a pregnancy also. She won't eat or drink. She fainted at the wake and had to be carried out of the funeral. So when you tuck your little one in tonight count your blessings and say a prayer for this poor woman. I can't imagine what Mothers Day will be like for her. Remember don't count on Disney in a crisis and NO HOT DOGS FOR LITTLE ONES !!!!
