My own experience in an urban ER has demonstrated this as well. This wound was fatal and would have ultimately stopped him, but not in the first five minutes when it really counted. A typical adult human only has about five liters total. Despite the severity of this injury, Platt kept fighting for another four minutes and subsequently killed the two FBI agents.Īt his post-mortem evaluation it was determined Platt had lost 1.3 liters of blood into his right lung. Tumbling vigorously the round tore through the right lung and came to rest about an inch short of his heart. Partially spent, this projectile then entered Platt’s chest between the fifth and sixth ribs. Along the way it severed the brachial vessels, spilling energy as it went.
The bullet passed across the humerus and through the biceps. 9mm Winchester Silvertip bullet in his right arm just above the elbow. In the opening moments of the fight Platt caught a 115-gr. Despite suffering a lethal injury early on, Platt went on to fire 42 rounds out of his Mini-14 and a half dozen shots through a pair of. The most extraordinary bit, however, was the remarkable physiology of Platt’s reaction to his gunshot wounds. The tactics have already been explored in profound detail. The gunfire was so extreme locals later said they thought they were filming an episode of Miami Vice. When the smoke cleared both felons were dead as were two of the agents. Former Army Ranger Michael Lee Platt was one of two bank-robbing murderers pulled over in an otherwise quiet Miami-Dade County neighborhood by FBI agents in April of 1986.
It’s the most studied gunfight in history.
