The driver is about to make a stop, when all of a sud den a school bus runs through the intersection and rams into the side of your bus. Both buses slam into the side of a building. Everyone at the scene is scream ing, several people were thrown from the buses, and there are a dozen life-threatening injuries. How should first responders react?

By The Daily Tar Heel’s count, Stein started TUesday 70 votes short of Baddour’s original 17,020. After the 805 provisional ballots had been processed, The DTH fig ured Stein to be down 50 votes from Baddour’s revised total of 17,211, a gain for Stein of 20 votes. Almost 200 provisional ballots were thrown out for reasons includ ing registration in the wrong state. Stein faltered slightly when the Chatham County provisional ballots were added, but more than made up the deficit in Orange County. “I hoped to lose less in Chatham and pick up more in Orange,” he said. “I netted 20 votes, which was a little more than I had expected if I was looking at it objectively.” Stein’s candidacy attracted criticism With help from volunteers, East Chapel Hill High School students and other EMT students who par ticipated in the drill as victims, the EMTs-in-training got hands-on experience for the first time. “At first it was intimidating when you have everyone screaming and blood on the floor,” said UNC junior Melanie Santos, an EMT student. “We’ve never done any thing with real blood, only lesson scenarios for maybe five minutes.” Santos said she was “pretty impressed” with how the students handled the stressful situation.

Baddour claimed to be up 62 votes, citing hand counts from Chatham County. And Stein claimed to trail by only 45, noting that the State Board of Elections’ Web site had him only 65 votes back at the start ofTuesday. The DTH arrived at its difference of 50 using results from the boards of elections of the individual counties. Either way, there are still at least two chances for the numbers to shift.
