At best they might use that very phone to video your emergency or predicament rather than assist. So for a couple of teens from De Moines, Iowa to stop watching TikTok due to some commotion outside, put down their phones, and go to render aid is practically a miracle and such a heartwarming assurance of our younger generation.
