Every 15 Minutes - TOHS 2006 (Part II)

The 'Every 15 Minutes' program is conducted in school all across America to enlighten students about the dangers and repercussions of drunk driving.

It's a disturbingly chilling and sobering event (no pun intended), which involves a real-life car crash involving fellow students. Every 15 minutes, another student is removed from his/her classroom; another victim of a drunk driving accident. On the second day of the event, a car crash is staged and the whole school watches as their fellow students are removed, bloody and deathly, from their destroyed vehicles. Afterwards, the 'victims' are taken to the hospital to experience what it might be like.

Rarely is this event ever broadcast. Rarer still does anyone but the 'victims' see what goes on after the crash. But this wonderfully produced video shows it all, from beginning to end.

people are so stupid if they think that is ok to drive after drinking or consuming drugs

i've got to say, this is very inspiring video. it was a great idea to do this mock accident. they dont have anything like it here where im from but a good many teens drink here especially for prom, maybe the local high school should do this there.

the sad part about this...

i graduated in 07, saw thi program when it was being filmed...

that summer, 2 of my friends were killed in car accidents, and another at a party from drinking at a party and someone slipped something into his drink causing heart failure. 3 people straight out of high school, very sad

This is a very touching program. My daughter was one of the 'Walking dead' in this video. Even though all of it was mock, it put me in a deep funk for a while. Made me think about how life would be without my daughter or my son, if they were killed by a drunk driver. I was so impressed by this program, Iam on this years E15M planning committee. Yes, I agree T.O. High's Mass Media did a fantastic job in taping this program from start to finish.
