“It Was To Kill Them”
Larry Johnson and Alcor Senior Board Member/ Facilities Engineer Hugh Hixon
HUGH HIXON: Our biggest problem was, we were using a thumper, particularly ACDC thumpers, and you get into the question of somebody reviving without their own heart beating for ‘em.

HUGH HIXON: It was to kill them.
