When your wife goes into labour and needs to get to the hospital ASAP, there’s only one thing you’re going to want to do. That’s right – grab your GoPro camera and strap it to your head so that you can film everything that’s about to happen to upload onto the Internet for a viral video.
That’s exactly what this guy called Troy Dickerson did for the birth of his son Truett. I don’t really know why he thought he (or anyone else in the world) would want to film and upload something so intensely private and emotional, but hey you clicked on the link so that proves there’s definitely some kind of audience for it. In the video you get all the drama and intensity as you see the two of them speeding 95 mph down the highway towards a Houston hospital as Troy’s wife Kristin Dickerson groans in pain. “I can’t make it! I can’t make it!’
Did it need to be filmed? Probably not but it’s pretty much compulsive viewing.
