Speaker 1: Kennedy slowly opened her eyes. She was hanging upside down,
high above the ground.
Speaker 2: When I was ejected. I've got thrown out and in
between the two power pols. I was then hanging in
the power line by my broken leg.
Speaker 1: Kennedy dangled from the wire like a rag doll, held
only by a small strip of skin draped over the
wire between the halves of her broken thigh bone.
Speaker 2: I was obviously scared, and I started to cry and
started calling for help.
Speaker 1: This is the Miracle Files.
Speaker 3: I'm Emily Jones and I'm Holly Worthington.
Speaker 4: We're two sisters who love a captivating true story, but
we're also seeking more light in our lives.
Speaker 1: So we're on a mission to find and unforgettable, uplifting
stories of God's miracles. We hope you'll join us on
this journey.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Miracle Files. Boy, do we have
a story for you today.
Speaker 1: We really do.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: I actually came across this story a while back, and
I just remember being completely stunned when I saw this
horrifying image online of this woman hanging upside down from
a power line, and my first thought was like, this
cannot be real, and I figured she's alive talking, this
must be a miracle. So I sent it to you,
but I didn't even know like the magnitude of the miracles. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, and unfortunately it kind of went in one ear
and out the other for me, and I forgot about it.
Speaker 5: Shocking.
Speaker 4: But then my daughter Kendra said, Hey, have you heard
a kick it Kenny on Instagram? Like she's amazing and
her story's amazing, And then I realized it was the
same girl.
Speaker 3: That you had talked to me about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you listen to Kendra and not to me.
Speaker 4: That's okay, whine, very persistent little daughter of mine.
Speaker 3: So she mentioned it a couple of times.
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true.
Speaker 4: But we seriously, we hear about so many stories, we
get said, so many stories that sometimes it's hard to
know which ones to focus on first. But this is
when I'm so glad we connected with Kennedy on because
it is incredible.
Speaker 1: It's so good. But we will give you a fair warning.
This one is a little bit uh graphic, terrifying, disturbing,
but it really is. Hang in there because it's also
one of the most inspiring.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Yeah, it is so worth it. Yeah,
all right, Let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Kennedy had grown up in Declo, Idaho,
the kind of small town with no stop lights and
only a couple of gas stations where people know each
other's names and even the trucks they drive, a place
where usually nothing too exciting happens. But one Saturday in
May of twenty twenty one, that all changed for Kennedy Bingham.
It had started out that morning with Kennedy's mom heading
out of town to help Kennedy's grandma with yard work.
Kennedy's dad, who'd been going through radiation for non Hodgkins lymphoma,
was at home recovering. After leaving, Kennedy's mom called with
a strong, unsettling feeling that she just couldn't explain. She
considered turning around and making Kennedy come with her, but
Kennedy assured her she was fine, so her mom kept driving.
Her mom did, however, have one request. She asked Kennedy
to stay home after work and take care of her dad.
Kennedy agreed at the time, but as the afternoon turned
into evening, Kennedy changed her mind. She hated sitting around.
It gave her too much time to think. You see,
Kennedy was young and pretty and from the outside seemed
happy enough, but on the inside she felt an overwhelming
sense of emptiness. In fact, sometimes she wondered if that
emptiness would swallow her whole.
Speaker 2: That was so unhappy with the way my life was going.
I had an eating disorder where I was just barely
over one hundred pounds. I would go all day every
day off of gum and energy drinks. And I was
in soccer and lifting weights for a weights class, and
so like obviously a lot of physical activity, and I
was just struggling really bad. And so that obviously carried
over was my relationship with my parents because I wasn't
doing okay.
Speaker 1: That evening, two of Kennedy's friends showed up at her
house and asked her to go into town for soda
and snacks. It wasn't that Kennedy forgot about what she'd
promised her mom. She just decided to go out anyway.
She felt a little bad, but it seemed harmless and
she could check on her father later.
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, whatever, it's fine, Like my dad
will be fine, and we're only going in town really
quick and then we can come back and check on him.
Speaker 1: She told her father goodbye and then offered to drive.
Soon she and her friends piled into Kennedy's car. They
grabbed food and drinks and drove up to the big
white da painted on the mountain overlooking Declo to watch
the sunset. It was beautiful, peaceful, normal. For a moment,
Kennedy was able to release the angst inside.
Speaker 2: And so we went up there and here watching the sunset,
and my friend in the back, his mom had called
and said that he needed to come home, and we
were all like, oh my gosh, what it's nine o'clock
on a Saturday night. That's not typical for her, Like, okay, whatever,
And so we started to drive. And the roads where
I'm from are very narrow, and there's no lines on them,
and they just kind of they're just old country roads,
and so they just kind of drop off.
Speaker 1: As she drove, Kennedy's thoughts drifted to some of the
struggles she'd been going through lately. Dirt and mud from
farming vehicles had caked on the asphalt, making it difficult
to see where the edges of the roads were. Soon,
Kennedy's vision was also blurred by tears. She didn't want
to cry, but sometimes it just hit Kennedy out of nowhere.
With her emotions taking over, her car began to drift,
inching toward the left side of the road. All of
a sudden, she realized how close she was to the edge.
She cranked the wheel hard to recover, but her correction
came too sharp, too late. The car turned violently to
the right and plummeted over the embankment. The driver's side
of the vehicle ricocheted off a powerfol and.
Speaker 2: It flipped the sideways and we started flipping and rolling,
and we just caught more momentum, and every time the
car would flip, it would only hit the ground on
my side of the vehicle, So obviously that's my left side,
and my entire left side was destroyed.
Speaker 1: At this point, none of the teams inside the car
were wearing seat belts, and suddenly Kennedy was no longer
in the vehicle at all. She was thrown from the car.
She doesn't remember the moment of ejection, but she knows
she was thrust so high into the air above that
what happened next is burned into the story of her
life forever. Kennedy's body hurtled straight into the power lines,
striking both the live top wire and the grounded wire below,
instantly forming a direct connection between the two. A powerful
electrical surge pore through her. As her unconscious body fell,
she was caught by the lower wire.
Speaker 2: I got thrown out and in between the two power poles.
I was then hanging in the power line by my
broken leg.
Speaker 1: You heard that correctly. Kennedy dangled high above the ground,
held only by a small strip of skin draped over
the wire between the halves of her broken thigh bone.
Speaker 2: But it just caught right between that break, and it
was only hanging on the power line by the skin Like.
Speaker 5: That, is it?
Speaker 1: Kennedy dangled from the wire like a rag doll. Below her,
her two friends had been thrown into the field, shocked,
injured but alive, one of them crying. Kennedy slowly opened
her eyes, and this is when Kennedy's memory begins to
form rough pictures in her head. She remembers realizing she
was hanging upside down, high above the ground, a feeling indescribable.
She couldn't see her friends. She was facing the opposite
direction and unable to move.
Speaker 5: My first memory up there. I remember.
Speaker 2: I know it was high in the air, upside down.
It was dark, and I was uncomfortable, not necessarily in pain.
I was bleeding, obviously from my wounds, and so I
could feel it running down and I was getting in
my mouth, and so I was trying to like get
it out of my mouth and out of my nose.
And because I am upside down, so obviously when liquid,
it's hard to breathe, and so I'm trying to make
sure it's out of my nose and out of my
eyes so I can see. And I was obviously scared,
and I started to cry, and at this point, I
felt like crying was weak, and so I knew if
I cried that I was going to die. And it
sounds so extreme, but I'm that's genuinely what I believed,
and so I pulled it together and started calling for help.
Speaker 1: Kennedy didn't know what at first, but her car had
crashed close to a farmhouse where a father and daughter
were sitting at home.
Speaker 2: Their power from when I got electrocuted flickered and they
were like, oh, that's so weird, and it basically blew
the power out and they heard yelling and they were like,
what the heck? And so they came running out and
they saw the two on the ground and they got
them help.
Speaker 1: But then the father and daughter heard yelling from above,
and they looked up and there she was a girl
dangling from the wire like an old pair of tennis
shoes tossed onto the line. She was bleeding an in
terrible condition. She didn't even look real. The horror of
it all hit the father and daughter immediately, and they
called nine one one.
Speaker 2: We've gotten to have ambulances and kleep out here right away.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 1: A car wreck? A girl is hanging by her leg
from the telephone pole wire.
Speaker 5: There's multiple people hurt.
Speaker 3: All right, stay on the phone with me. I'm going
to get the ambulance and everything ahead in that direction.
I'm going to get more information from you.
Speaker 2: We're going to need several ambulance.
Speaker 3: How many people three?
Speaker 2: You really need to hurt?
Speaker 1: There is a girl hanging by her broken leg from
the telephone wire.
Speaker 3: Ambulance is how many vehicles?
Speaker 4: One?
Speaker 3: One vehicle?
Speaker 2: Yeah, a vehicle and the people are in bad shape?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Are all the people inside the vehicle?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Girl from hell U for a while from her legs
about for off.
Speaker 2: Okay, they're all thrown out.
Speaker 1: We're gonna need a bucket truck out here to get
this girl off the power line.
Speaker 3: You realize that we've contacted the power company.
Speaker 4: There's three people.
Speaker 1: We're all in really bad shape.
Speaker 3: And are they all conscious and breathing? Can you tell?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Hold on this, you got help coming.
Speaker 5: We have someone hanging from a wire puntimately eighteen to
twenty feet above the ground. We need a budget.
Speaker 1: Run time seemed to come to a halt as the
father and daughter waited for the ambulance to arrive.
Speaker 2: And they were like, we have no idea what to do,
and so the daughter just dropped tourneys and started praying
and was like, I feel like this is all it
can do for her.
Speaker 1: The father, who hadn't prayed in years, looked at his
daughter and fell to his knees as well. The two
pleaded with God to help this poor young woman.
Speaker 2: And after they finished their prayer, they just went and
ran and grabbed a tarp to put underneath me in
case that little bit of skin that was holding me
up was gonna rip. And so they just sat with
a tarp underneath me, and I don't remember talking to
them really. They just said I kept calling them ma'am
and sir, which.
Speaker 5: Is not like me at all. I don't know, it
must have been the shock, but they were like, she
was so polite.
Speaker 2: She was just like, will you please get me down,
Like I just want to get down and can you
help me? And they were just like, this is like
the most low key, really creepy thing, because it's like
she's completely ripped up hard up there hanging in a
wire and she's just like talking to us casually.
Speaker 1: Police cars and ambulances soon arrived, but no one could
get Kennedy down. Company first had to make sure the
power was truly off. Kennedy felt so confused for the
next half hour. Whenever Kennedy would come too, she felt
desperate to get off the wire. She didn't understand why
no one was helping her, and then her confusion turned
to embarrassment as town people started to show up.
Speaker 2: Obviously, in a small town, everyone sees flashing lights. And
that's one of my biggest problems that I still struggle with,
is just like the curiosity. And so people literally just
started driving to the scene and getting out of their
cars and watching me it was like I felt like a.
Speaker 5: Zoo animal just catered up.
Speaker 2: That people were taking videos, pictures, and like even kids
from my high school that a house that was probably
a mile away, they all were doing a party there
or something, and they all just walked over and just
like watched me. And I hate that because it's just
like it's so disgusting, and to this day it really
bothers me when people are like, oh my god, gosh,
what's happened in that soon, because it's like as none
of your business, like that's someone's worst moment, Leave them alone.
Speaker 1: Time seemed to drag and then stand still again and again.
She begged the onlookers to help her. She couldn't bear
one more millisecond of this torture. Suddenly, she had a
vision come to her mind. It felt so real, a
FaceTime call from God. Even though her phone was nowhere
near her. In her mind, she could see him clearly.
He even had a profile picture on the imagined screen,
one that she recognized immediately.
Speaker 2: The pictures Jesus reaching his hand into the water, and
I love that picture. It's my favorite picture. And that's
what his profile picture was. Or is an and an
extet button and at this point, I think I'd been
up there for thirty minutes, so for a while, and
going in and out of it a little bit, and
I remember I just was like, I'm so uncomfortable. I
don't know what the rest of my life's going to
look like from this. I have no idea what my
injuries are nothing, And so I was like, I just want.
Speaker 5: To go home.
Speaker 1: But by home, Kennedy didn't mean her house. She had
reached a point where she meant that she wanted to
go to heaven. She was ready, she wanted God to
take her home. She was accepting her death.
Speaker 2: And so I'm like slamming the accept button. Obviously, my
phone's in the field somewhere, it's not actually up there
with me, and the phone just keeps ringing. It's not
recognizing that I want to go home, and the screen
eventually just goes black.
Speaker 1: Suddenly Kennedy could see herself in the reflection on the
imagined phone. What she saw horrified her, but she knew
she was alive and that she wasn't meant to go
home yet.
Speaker 2: And I can see my reflection and I'm cut and
bruised and bloody, and I just started to cry because
I was like, oh, like, this is what I'm supposed
to do, but it's not what I want to do.
Speaker 1: Kennedy's family still wasn't aware of what was going on
with her. The police had not yet notified them, but
Kennedy's grandfather since something was wrong.
Speaker 2: My grandpa was on our life three sixty. All of
us kids hated it because he was a stalker and
would watch where all of us were going, and it
drove me. That's because I was like, leave me alone.
You're not my parent, like stop track him me. And
so we all hated it. But actually, since he's a stalker,
saw that my location said I was in a field
for like probably forty five minutes. He's like, I don't
know why it says she's in a field for forty
five minutes. I see lights down the road. I'm worried
something's wrong. And so he called my dad and told
him all this, and and I was like, oh, well,
she always answers her phone.
Speaker 5: That will be what tells me if it's her. And
so he called me. Obviously I don't answer, and he
was like, oh my gosh, it's her.
Speaker 1: After an excruciating hour, had crawled by the power company
finally got the power turned off so it was safe
for the emergency workers to proceed. At last, a bucket
truck arrived on scene.
Speaker 2: The emt He got in the bucket truck and he
came up and I could feel like the anxiety off
of him, and obviously he's trying to stay very calm,
but I remember feeling like he was super anxious and
like breathing.
Speaker 5: Shakily, and I was like, will you please help me?
Speaker 2: And he was like, yep, yeah, We're working on it,
like if we're doing everything we can.
Speaker 5: And at this.
Speaker 2: Point I was like, oh, like finally, I'm been up
here for an hour.
Speaker 5: I'm tired of fighting like all on my own.
Speaker 2: So they put the tourniquet on and had to take
my bone out of that wire, and they said that
was the only time that I screamed that entire time
I was up there was when they had to take
my leg off the wire, and I remember my body
hitting that stretcher and just feeling like, oh, like a
sense of relief that I didn't have to fight anymore.
It wasn't my job to do it, because I'd already
done it by myself, so.
Speaker 1: Long as Kennedy was loaded into an ambulance. Her terrified
father arrived on scene.
Speaker 2: It's literally a mile from my house, that's it. And
he drives down and parks a car super quick runs
out to the field where he sees the car because
to him, he doesn't know where I'm at anything like that.
And luckily, someone that we knew from the community was like, Jared,
she's over here. And at this point I was in
the ambulance and he just dropped on to his knees
and just was praying. It was like please, please, please,
whatever you do, don't take her.
Speaker 1: The EMTs allowed Kennedy's father to get into the parked ambulance,
where he put his hands on Kennedy's head and pleaded
with God.
Speaker 2: And he's like, I have no idea what I said
other than just like please, I don't care how much
is left of her, Like I'm willing for anything, just
like I need her to stay. And so he gave
me a kiss on my forehead and said his goodbyes,
and he got in the truck with my grandpa.
Speaker 1: As Kennedy was rushed to a nearby hospital, her father
drove as quickly as he could to be by her side.
Speaker 2: He's like the entire ride, which is like such a
like a gross thing, but at the same time, like
it just shows the reality of it. He was like,
because I kissed you on your forehead, I literally just
tasted your blood the entire way.
Speaker 1: The local hospital wasn't equipped to handle injuries of this magnitude,
so she was flown to a bigger hospital, where her
parents were finally able to join her. They were grateful
to see their daughter alive, but were stunned by her condition.
Even the doctors seemed shocked by Kennedy's injuries.
Speaker 2: They were like, we don't see wounds like this unless
like people are coming back from war, Like this is
so advanced.
Speaker 1: As the doctors examined Kennedy's body, they discovered that she
had not only severed a major artery in her arm,
but her femoral artery as well. They couldn't imagine how
she was still alive. Only as doctors and police pieced
together what had happened did they begin to grasp the
true miracle of Kennedy's survival. When Kennedy was thrown from
her vehicle, she was launched so high that the fall
alone should have been fatal. Instead, the power line acted
as a net, catching her and preventing a deadly impact
with the ground. In the violence of the crash, her
arm was nearly ripped off, severing the brachial artery, an
injury that would normally cause rapid, severe blood loss. But
touching both wires didn't just electrocute her. It saved her life.
Speaker 5: And I touched both of them.
Speaker 2: It basically electrocuted me in like my chest and neck area,
and it cauterized my main artery in my arm, because
my arm was actually hanging off and only hanging on
by the skin on my back, and so there was
hardly anything keeping it on, and I was bleeding, And yeah,
I just electric it cauterized, it stopped the bleeding.
Speaker 1: Even more astonishing, Kennedy's femeral artery in her thigh had
also been torn open, an injury that typically leads to
death within minutes. Yet the very power line that caught
her acted as a tourniquit, pinching off the artery and
preventing her from bleeding out through her thigh. By every
medical expectation, she should not have survived, and yet she did.
But as remarkable as her survival was her prognosis still
looked grim. Over the next weeks, Kennedy underwent multiple surgeries.
Her leg was amputated piece by piece as doctors tried
to save as much tissue as possible.
Speaker 2: They tried to amputate my leg through the knee on
my left leg and see if it would hold up.
And every twelve to twenty four hours, I believe they
would go in and basically just like cut more off,
and they would just literally put like saran wrap around it.
And so it was, like I doubt was it was
like a hand they just go in and just slice
more off. He had to actually sign all the documents
for them to cut my leg offers like every day,
I'm literally signing body parts away.
Speaker 1: All the while, Kennedy was in and out of consciousness
and didn't realize she was losing her leg bit by bit.
Kennedy's dad swallowed his doubts and tears and with faith,
he assured her she would still be able to walk
and run and play soccer. They would find a way.
But then something began to unfold then not only put
Kennedy's leg in danger, but her life. Kennedy's temperature started
to rise, she began having fever dreams. One in particular
stands out in her mind.
Speaker 2: I'm having this stream around this little person on a beach,
and I'm like running around doing all these tasks, and
i start levitating up this cliff and I'm like no, no, no, no, no, like,
I'm not done.
Speaker 5: I have so much to do. It's not my time.
Speaker 2: And at the top of the cliff was God, and
I was like, please don't take me like I'm not
on Just.
Speaker 1: Then the nurses came into the room and realized that
Kennedy's temperature had spiked. They tried to put ice on
her and gave her medicine to get her fever down,
but nothing was working. Another surgery was the only option.
Speaker 2: And they took me into emergency surgery. And the entire
leg was just dead up until the bone, and so
that tissue was just making me so sick, and so
they went in and cut the rest of the leg
off to where my break was and it was My
dad says it was the darkest day of his life.
He just remembered sitting in a stairwell for hours, just
like crying. And my dad is not a crier.
Speaker 1: Now. Kennedy's dad was tasked with something else that made
his hands shake and his knees weak. Even more so,
it made his heart ache. He had to be the
one to tell his daughter that the surgeons had taken
almost all of her leg.
Speaker 2: He'd been sitting next to my bed saying, you're gonna
play soccer again. You're gonna be able to run again.
You're gonna be able to do all these things again.
So don't worry. So after they took the leg, he'd
come in and was like, I have to talk to
you about something, and I was like okay, and he
was like, they did have to cut your leg off,
and so you have one leg now. And I'd known
something was wrong, and at this point in my head,
I'm like, I don't know if you're really telling the truth.
Like I can feel it and it hurts really bad,
So like I don't believe my leg's gone. But my
first thing I said was was I the only one
that lost any limbs? And he was like yes, And
I said, well, I'm glad I'm the one that had
to because it was my fault.
Speaker 1: Knowing her leg was gone and that her future now
looked like nothing, she'd ever planned. The darkness of this
moment threatened to overwhelm Kennedy's already fragile mental and emotional state.
In fact, this could have been the very thing that
would destroy Kennedy forever, but God had other plans. Within
tw twenty four hours after having the last of her
leg removed, a physical therapist came into Kennedy's room.
Speaker 2: And physical therapy came in and was like, Okay, we're
gonna do ten squats today, and my parents were like,
are you kidding me? Like she literally just got a surgery.
What do you mean we're going to do ten squats? Like, no,
she's not. And I was like, oh, it's fine, Like
we can do it whatever. As they set me up
to a ninety degree and every time they would do that,
I would be like, please make sure my gown is
just covered everything, like I don't want to know what's
going on and I don't want to look at it nothing.
And so did the ten squats and I was like, oh,
don't worry, Like I can do another one because like
I can push myself.
Speaker 1: And then Kennedy looked down and for the first time
she saw where her gown ended and that she didn't
have a leg there at all. The tears flooded from
her eyes.
Speaker 2: I just started crying, and I remember looking at both
my parents and I was like, you didn't tell me.
This is all I had left. What am I supposed
to do with this? This is nothing? This is useless.
I can't believe this is my life. And I started
crying and my parents are just looking at me like
we're so sorry, Like I don't know what to do,
and I pull it together a few minutes later, and
then nurse just like, I think you should touch it,
and I was like, you're freaking crazy. I'm not touching
that thing, like it's attached to me, but I want
nothing to do with it, and she's like, okay, just
you do you. And obviously it was still like covered
in dressings, so I can't see the skin or anything
like that. But then I end up touching it and
I was like, okay, yeah, that's that's super weird.
Speaker 5: I don't like it.
Speaker 2: They were having me move my nub and circles and
for some reason process so fast, and I started joking
and I was I've always had this thing where I
name everything, and so I named my nub Gobi and
as a boy. For some reason, I'm not sure why,
but even kids referred to it as him. And it's
so funny because people are like, why is it a boy,
and I'm.
Speaker 5: Like, I don't know, but even kids think it is,
so it works. And I started moving around and saying,
go Goby, Gogobe.
Speaker 2: We're just laughing and I'm just singing it and you
can hear like the weakness of my voice, and that
helped me a lot, being.
Speaker 5: Able to cope with it.
Speaker 2: And I think except that it was part of me
and who I was, and like even this day, I
referred to it as Goby, and the nurses were like,
We've never seen someone that just like so fastly gets
over this. And I truly believe that it was God.
Speaker 1: Only through the grace of God did the girl who
once wanted to die now want to live and live
like never before. In addition to her leg, her arm
was permanently changed, three nerves torn from her spine, two destroyed,
but she fought for every inch of movement, rewired muscles,
train her mind to believe what her body still could become.
Speaker 2: And I truly believe that it was God that kind
of gave me that kick in the butt of like,
here's a good attitude, Like I will give this to you,
but I'm not going to sit here and give it
to you for the rest of your life.
Speaker 5: You have to uphold that.
Speaker 2: But I felt like she gave me those stepping stones
of a good attitude and happiness that like, it just
made me flourish, and I never gave it up.
Speaker 1: Today Kennedy's darkest moments that become a light in her life.
She's now happily married and loves lifting weights with her husband.
She competes, she trains, she inspires, and she knows why
she's here.
Speaker 5: I experienced a miracle.
Speaker 2: There was thousands, I believe, truly throughout the entire experience.
I think miracles happened to remind others that He is
there and that miracles are absolutely higher power.
Speaker 1: That night, on a country road in Idaho, everything that
should have killed Kennedy instead held her and saved her.
The electricity that should have stopped her heart sealed the
artery in her arm. The wire that trapped her upside
down acted as a tourniquet for her leg. The fall
that should have ended her life was stopped by a
power line, and a delicate strip of skin that somehow
held strong. No, Kennedy hadn't just hung from a power line.
She'd hung between Earth and heaven, and for reasons only
God knows when she could have slipped from this world forever,
the call didn't go through. She was meant to stay
and change and truly live. Wow.
Speaker 3: So much to talk about here.
Speaker 4: First off, we have to talk about the miracle that
Kennedy experience, Like just the way she landed, I know,
on those wires.
Speaker 1: I know when she was talking to us, and like
she first told us that she got flung into these
wires and she got electrocuted. At first, I just thought
that's like adding insult to injury. More she told us
that's actually what saved her life. It's incredible. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I could not believe that the top power line electrocated
her and cauterized her brakial artery, and then the bottom
line caught her and acted like a tourniquit for her
femoral artery and her broken feet.
Speaker 3: It's just incredible.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually did a little research and I found that
if you tear your brachial artery, then you can usually
bleed out in like five to ten minutes. If you
tear your femoral artery, usually it's like two to five minutes.
And she severed both in the accident, so like if
she hadn't been in the wire, she would have bled
out within just a few minutes. It's just crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4: Like without divine intervention, there is no way that Kennedy
should have survived. And her story touched so many lives.
And there's someone in particular that really was affected by
her story. The father who lived in the farmhouse, who
lived near the power lines.
Speaker 3: Where she was hanging. Yeah, the one who prayed with
his daughter.
Speaker 4: He had completely forgotten about God, didn't care about God,
and this experience made him believe in God again. So
here's a SoundBite from Kennedy about that.
Speaker 2: And the dad eventually came to my dad. I had
this whole conversation and said, I haven't talked to God
in over twenty years. I had no interest, in no
interest in knowing about him or believeing in nothing.
Speaker 5: And He's like in your daughter.
Speaker 2: Like I immediately dropped to my knees with my daughter
and started praying for yours and I knew that was
all we could do for her, and he was like,
your daughter is the reason why I've even thought about
coming back to God.
Speaker 4: I love that that, right there is the power of miracles,
right and obviously you have to stay close to God.
Like one miracle can't just sustain you forever, but they
sure kick things off and really strengthen your faith.
Speaker 3: So I thought that that was incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, remind you that God is real. And Kennedy is
still using this miracle to share her faith with people.
She also shared something with us about the firefighter and
what he said to her. So here's Kennedy.
Speaker 2: And I actually did a public speaking about with him,
and he was like, immediately as soon as I was
in your reach, you just like latched on and you
were like, thank you for helping me. I need help
and I'm tired of fighting like all on my own.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that moment?
Speaker 4: No, just seeing her hanging there and knowing You've got
to be the one to help this girl down somehow.
And yeah, I know, I'm sure his adrenaline just carried
him through. But yeah, so many crazy miraculous moments throughout
this whole thing.
Speaker 3: And one other thing we need to share.
Speaker 4: We've got a video of her in the hospital talking
to Goby, her.
Speaker 3: Little nub that she up.
Speaker 4: Yes, we've got to share that. Like, she is so amazing.
I love her attitude.
Speaker 2: Ro Goby, Goby, Oh, I go Guy Roy good we.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: Kennedy is so inspirational to me. Like, if you follow
her Instagram account Underscore kick It Kenny Underscore nine. It
is amazing to see her attitude and the things that
she's able to accomplish. Her and her husband are so cute.
Speaker 5: They're so adorable.
Speaker 1: They work out together all the time. I mean, she
just did this High Rocks fitness competition run eight kilometers.
There's like eight fitness challenges. It's just it's inspirational how
much she's able to accomplish and her attitude.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think one of the most incredible parts of
this miracle story is how.
Speaker 3: It changed her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just seeing how she's let God work on
her heart and soften her heart. It's really a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so interesting. So often we hear people who
go through these traumatic life changing events, very few of
them say they would go back and undo it. It's true,
she is so happy now, and in fact, she shared
with us how this actually has really improved her relationship
with her parents.
Speaker 2: Me and my parents' relationships great Now. We're best friends
and we just have fun. And I was just so
grateful that they were so loving and supportive through my
entire experience and have been there and pushed me and
got me involved in things. And so I think the
accident actually brought our family so much closer than it
was even before.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 4: As a mom, I especially appreciate that I did too.
Speaker 3: It's really so well.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Kennedy for sharing your story with us.
It's incredible and we wish you and your husband and
your whole family so much love and happy.
