Basic life support (BLS) is a level of medical care which is used for victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital.
Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas on July 24, 1897. Amelia saw her first plane at a state fair when she was 10 years old. During World War I, Amelia became a nurse's aid in Toronto, Canada, to tend to wounded soldiers. On December 28, 1920, pilot Frank Hawks gave Amelia her first ride in an airplane.
Amelia Earhart made a solo trip from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Oakland, California, establishing her as the first womanâas well as the first person â to fly both across the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. In April 1935, she flew solo from Los Angeles to Mexico City, and a month later she flew from Mexico City to New York.
