10 years ago today Utah State University student Patrick Eccles was seriously gored by a bull from the El Pilar ranch during the running of the bulls in Pamplona.
The above photos, which I had somehow previously missed (I thought I had scoured the web well enough to find all the known photos of the occurrence,) show young Mr. Eccles receiving emergency first aid while still grasping on to his cell phone.
Mr. Eccles took some flak for running with a cell phone which is strictly prohibited. At this point however I think he and everyone else is just happy he is alive. His goring could have been fatal but he got lucky, he only lost his spleen.
I've been keeping an eye on his Facebook and Instagram pages to see if he would say anything today on the 10 year anniversary but he has not.
I was kind of hoping he would post the video from that cell phone.
