Episode #23 A Close Call With Death with guest Fatu Matagi - Brother to Sam Matagi double amputee of both arms in Episode #11.
Fatu Matagi. - What an inspiring story of the brother to Sam Matagi from episode #11. Sam lost both arms in a tragic accident where over 7,000 volts of electricity went through him resulting in both arms having to be amputated. Today, I talk to Fatu Matagi, the brother of Sam, who in a very similar accident lost his right arm having the same 7,000 + volts of electricity ran through his body causing him to have his right arm amputated. Fatu shares his journey with me and tells how his life was before, and how his life is now, after this terrible accident. Fatu's power pole lineman co-worker and friend he worked with every day was killed, leaving Fatu the lone survivor of that day. How does a person get through it all? How do two brothers cope and help each other and others along the way? This strong, brave, and full of grit young man shares how you do it in a powerful yet humble way. That incident, that day, does not define Fatu. He writes his own story and it was a gift to me to be able to talk with this extraordinary human being.
