A Long Island man suffered what’s called a “widowmaker” heart attack, but credits his survival to light traffic, green lights — and golf
The 64-year-old somehow managed to walk with his clubs to his car, and then drive three-and-a-half miles to North Shore University Hospital. He was even able to call his wife.
Dr. Guarav Rao said Kapela was exhibiting classic signs of a heart attack, as he was sweating and clutching his chest. But pictures immediately showed something even more dire: He was suffering what's referred to as a"widow maker" heart attack, with his artery completely blocked. A Long Island grandmother who suffered a heart attack and had to be revived three times on the way to the ER is being credited with saving her own life. NBC New York's Gilma Avalos reports.
Surprisingly, Kapela said that playing golf probably helped save his life because had this happened at home, he would have probably taken a nap and not gone to the hospital to get the life-saving attention he needed. He said that it's a"miracle that I'm here."

Wreckage of submarine found by divers in Long Island SoundA group of Connecticut divers have discovered the wreckage of an experimental submarine that was built in 1907 and later scuttled in Long Island Sound. The Defender, a 92-foot boat, was found Sunday off the coast of Old Saybrook by a team led by Richard Simon, a commercial diver from Coventry, Connecticut. Simon spent several months going over known sonar and underwater mapping surveys of the bottom of the sound to identify any anomaly that fit the size of the sub. His team found the sub in over 150 feet of water and plans to spend the summer photographing and documenting the wreck.
