"I wholeheartedly believe I was in the right spot at the right time, and he was the trigger for that happening. It was a miracle." if (window && window.foxstrike && Array.isArray(window.foxstrike.cmd)) { window.foxstrike.cmd.push(function(Strike) { Strike.insertAd('mobile', 'ban3', 'mobile-mw-ad-ban3', ''); }); } else { console.error('Error: window.foxstrike not found'); } Toothaker sees a miracle in Koo's aborted kick and his medical emergency , which he likens to getting "electrocuted" because his wife immediately called 911.…
