Caught on Camera: Woman Faints in Public, Husband Oblivious
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Internet users have been left in hysterics by a man who thought he was capturing an ordinary video of his wife, only to discover she was in the middle of a medical emergency. Silver Owens, 30, was at the ER on July 9 for a medical appointment, which involved drawing blood. As her husband, Matt Owens, 29, was picking her up after, she decided to go wait outside the building for his arrival. Unfortunately, Silver, an independent filmmaker from Houston, Texas, told Newsweek that she started to feel unwell and knew she "was about to faint." She quickly sat down on the ground and then instantly passed out. "I hadn't eaten much that day, and I have this thing called vasovagal syncope where I faint when there are certain triggers (they think this is what it is anyway)," Silver said. "I think the combination of not eating, having blood drawn, and then walking out of the hospital made me faint." From left: Silver Owens is filmed passed out outside the ER from the car.

As a result, he started filming his wife on the floor, with her legs outstretched, looking very uncomfortable. When Matt got closer, he realized his wife wasn't actually on her phone, and reality hit that she had in fact passed out. Matt ended the video as soon as he realized and got out the car to help. "My husband thought I was looking down at my phone, and I didn't notice him pulling up to get me. He felt so bad when he showed me the video initially. When I laughed so hard, he felt better," Silver continued. She said: "He tried to wake me up, and I remember opening my eyes and seeing him telling me I had fainted. Then I was out again. He ran into the ER and asked for help. I woke up surrounded by nurses laying on a stretcher." Silver was given some apple juice and crackers until she was stable enough to get up and go home. Before passing out, Silver said she recalls checking Find My Friends and seeing that her husband was two minutes away. She added that is about as long as she was unconscious for. After seeing the video her husband captured, Silver said that she "cried from laughing so hard" because she actually looks dead. She couldn't resist sharing it on TikTok (@silverowens) and it has gone viral with over 3.6 million views and more than 370,000 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Alongside the post, the caption reads: "I would like everyone to know he felt awful for taking this, but IM CACKLING, he just thought it was so funny that I didn't notice him pull up." Silver has been blown away by the online response, as she certainly wasn't expecting the video to attract so much attention. Thankfully, it seems that most social-media users "have a great sense of humor," and many even shared their own similar experiences as a result. Silver said: "Everyone has been mostly positive, and we just find it funny that so many people have responded to it. I think it's important to have a good sense of humor about these things if you can. Life is crazy, and we can only control so much, and finding ways to laugh at the chaos of it all makes it more fun." In the days since the clip went viral, it has generated nearly 1,000 comments on TikTok so far. One comment reads: "girl I fainted on public transport recently and everyone just stared at me." Another TikTok user wrote: "I watched this a million times and chuckled each time." A third person posted: "The music, the slow turn, your head down—a true cinematic masterpiece."

BBC Radio 2 DJ Sara Cox reveals she tracks her children when they're apart
BBC Radio 2's Sara Cox has revealed she tracks her children using Apple's Find My Friends feature when they're apart. The 50-year-old broadcaster shares three teenage children, Renee, Lola and Isaac with her husband Ben Cyzer and has a daughter with her ex-husband, DJ Jon Carter, who she separated from in 2006. Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware on their Table Manners podcast, Cox said: 'I just do the usual Apple one. You can see where the kids are.' Apple released Find My Friends, which allows users to share their location with specific people and locate those who share their location with them using GPS and Wi-Fi in 2011. The app is most commonly used as a safety precaution and in 2017 aided a man to be rescued after he became stuck on a mountain. However, Cox admitted she was glad her own mother wasn't able to track her when she was young. 'My mum would have been like 'Why is Sara on her way to Blackpool,' the presenter, who grew up in Bolton, said. 'I went to Blackpool when I really wasn't supposed to be,' she said. 'I'd get a lift with some random lads in their XR2s [Ford Fiesta cars].' Some parents take tracking their children a step further, with Mike and Zara Tindall keeping tabs using Apple's £35 AirTag tracking device. In 2021, Apple launched AirTags to help iPhone users track the exact location of a lost item, such as luggage and keys. The small, circular device can be tracked from Apple's Find My app. The Independent's Charlotte Cripps weighed in on the child-tracking debate, saying she wanted to AirTag her children until they were 18. 'Is it teaching children to feel unsafe in the world and infringing on their privacy? Not in my case. 'My children feel protected knowing I'm keeping a close eye on them, and they are not at an age where they can go out without adult truth is, I'd prefer to be safe than sorry,' she wrote. 'I know I can't control what happens to my children when I'm not there– but at least there's great comfort in knowing exactly where they are.'

The economy might be just fine after all
Welcome back! Do you know where your friends are? No seriously. Do you? If you're part of Gen Z, there's a good chance you're tracking their locations with the Find My Friends app. The rest of us … not so much. In today's newsletter, the case for the economy heading in the right direction is growing. What's on deck Markets: Three big things Citadel interns will learn during their first week on the job. Business: Online communities for helping people who were laid off are gaining steam. But first, don't sweat it. If this was forwarded to you, sign up here. The big story Economic optimismIt turns out the economy might be fine after all. After plenty of handwringing about what the future might hold, the hard data indicates an economy that's in decent shape. The latest good news was May's better-than-expected jobs report. The 139,000 jobs added were more than the 126,000 economists had expected. I don't mean to be too optimistic — when I mentioned this newsletter topic to my boss, they responded earnestly, "IS IT?" — but investors are also feeling a lot better about things. The Leuthold Group wrote in a recent note that the market believes the US economy will keep growing and is trading like there's "no recession risk whatsoever," writes BI's Christine Ji. The focal point of the investment firm's argument is the S&P 500 Cyclical/Defensive Ratio, which compares economically sensitive sectors to consumer staples. The higher the number, the more bullish investors are about the economy's prospects. Last month, the ratio hit an all-time high of 1.19, meaning cyclical stocks have a 19% edge over defensive ones. Translation: Investors aren't sweating a downturn. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson That's not to say we're totally in the clear. (You didn't think it would be all sunshine and rainbows, did you?) Bank of America, for one, recently warned of two big sell signals in stocks that are close to flashing, writes BI's William Edwards. One is the amount of money flowing into global stock funds: nearly 1% of their current assets under management within a four-week span. The other is that the vast majority of countries' indexes (84%) are trading higher than their moving targets. Both signals suggest investors could be getting too bullish for their own good. But BofA's warning is like a lot of the concerns about the economy and market going around these days: things that could happen. That's not to say those worries aren't valid. The uncertainty around tariffs remains a real question mark. And if the US posts a second-straight quarter of GDP contraction, it will be in a technical recession. Still, those issues haven't necessarily materialized in the economic data. Outside of last week's weaker-than-expected ADP jobs data, things are looking good. And Wednesday will be another chance to review the hard data with the monthly inflation report. 3 things in markets 1. Broke: Dr. Doom. Bespoke: Dr. Boom. Nouriel Roubini has been known as Wall Street's "Dr. Doom" for 17 years, but lately he's sounding pretty positive. Roubini has scaled back his recession call and thinks the US is headed for an investment boom — and he told BI why. 2. How to stand out in your Citadel internship. Head of campus recruiting Matt Mitro told BI the three keys to success that interns at Ken Griffin's hedge fund (and its market-making sister firm, Citadel Securities) learn in the first week. 3. Can JPMorgan be unionized? Dissatisfied staffers certainly hope so; they're organizing largely in response to the bank's RTO mandates. If a similar effort over at Wells Fargo is any indication, however, workers at Jamie Dimon's company have a long road ahead. 3 things in tech 1. Exclusive: Amazon freezes retail hiring budget for this year. The company said it will keep a "flat headcount opex," or operating expenses, according to a copy of an internal email obtained by BI. The company is still hiring, but holding the budget steady could encourage managers to get smarter with compensation expenses, BI's Eugene Kim reports. 2. Nvidia's challengers rise. Nvidia's costly and power-hungry chips are prompting competitors to seek more efficient solutions. Many of them are carving out a niche with chips for specific tasks, and industries, from high-frequency trading to sovereign AI, are already turning away from Nvidia. 3. Apple's big day may get awkward. The company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is known for its flashy product announcements, drawing fanatics and investors to its headquarters. But this year, there will be some elephants in the room. BI's Peter Kafka broke down Tim Cook's problem. 3 things in business 1. A less colorful corporate Pride Month. Some companies are toning down their LGBTQ+ support amid cultural and political pressures. Regardless of how companies proceed, though, nobody seems happy. 2. Baker Tilly 🤝Moss Adams. As PE reshapes accounting, these former rivals are joining forces, merging to create the sixth-largest advisory CPA firm in the US. BI spoke with the CEOs about why they struck a deal. 3. Laid off? There's a support group for that. It's clear layoffs don't just impact "bad" employees. Now, online communities are helping remove the stigma and get people back on their feet. From Substack to Reddit, here's how the jobless are rallying. In other news Ai Weiwei made a piece of art out of plastic bricks that cost $280,000. I did it for $250.

The sneaky new friendship divide between millennials and Gen Z
Whether to share your location is a heated topic, especially among millennials and Gen Z. As a Gen Zer, I share with 18 people, which my older friends may view as excessive. Gen X is indifferent, seeing both pros and cons, as social connections evolve post-pandemic. Do you want to share your location with me? Eighteen of my closest friends and family already do. On a Tuesday evening in early June, I can map a digital town square of that real-life network. One friend is still at the office; two are at Central Park; another is at home hundreds of miles away from me. These are people who share their location with me, not just for directions, but in perpetuity through the Find My Friends app. I think it strengthens our bonds to observe each other's routines and special outings — even when there's no practical need for it. To others, location sharing is a nightmare. They see it as an extension of the surveillance state, with their college roommate, jealous partner, or overbearing parent acting as Big Brother. The Washington Post proclaimed that it's "making us miserable." How you feel about your friends and loved ones being able to see where you are at any given time may represent your current lifestage, how friendships evolve, and technology's role in our relationships. "This is brand new culturally, historically," Anna Goldfarb, the author of "Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections," told me of the confluence of friends and location-sharing technology. "And it makes sense that people are like, 'what does this mean?' This is something we haven't ever had that technology to do before — much less the space and freedom to do it." While it's impossible to generalize entire generations' attitudes toward anything, I wanted to find out how location sharing shakes out across the age spectrum. So, I spoke to seven people spanning three generations to get a sense of their feelings about sharing their location. Gen Zers were chill about it; so are Gen Xers. But as millennials approach middle age, location sharing highlights how their friendships are growing — or growing apart. The location sharing debate represents the journey of growing up in a digital age. As a geriatric Gen Zer, I'm still at a stage in life where the majority of my friends are single or unmarried, and pretty much none of them have kids. We're living similar lifestyles, often out and about, and I don't encounter many issues with my friends knowing my whereabouts at all times. That mid to late 20s uncoupledness and childlessness aligns with historical trends: On average, each generation gets married and has kids later in life. For Aiden Lewis, a 26-year-old Ph.D. student in the Boston area, sharing his location with his family is a matter of convenience. "The positives really far outweigh the negatives," he said, adding that while it's unlikely he'll be in danger, if he is, his parents would know his whereabouts. "But otherwise, the only risk on my part is minor embarrassment that they saw me out late drinking too much." A 2022 Harris Poll found that Gen Z, born 1997 to 2012, was the most likely generation to say it was convenient to share their location. For folks like Lewis, location sharing is just another digital tool in their belt. As Goldfarb, on the border between Gen X and the millennials, said, "When I was younger in my 20s, I would've absolutely loved to know where all my friends are at all times." As I've progressed through my 20s, location sharing has shown me some shifts that are harbingers of what's to come in the next decade: Couples are together more often. My higher-earning friends, or those in more corporate roles, might show up at nice hotels on a work trip or a more upscale vacation. Others might still be on campus for their graduate degrees. And it felt symbolic when I revoked a former college friend's location-viewing privileges — a sort of closure for a specific period in my life. Millennials, born 1981 to 1996, are in a life stage that's as bifurcated as their views toward location sharing. Meranda Hall, a 33-year-old in Brooklyn, operates more like a Gen Zer in this realm. She doesn't have any married friends, and she said she never plans to marry. She and her friends have no qualms about sharing their locations. "All the people that I share mine with, they're super open about it, and no one is ever anywhere particularly interesting for it to be too much of a debate," Hall said. For her peers of similar ages but a different life stage, like Goldfarb, location sharing might be more fraught. After age 30, Goldfarb said, friendships start falling off a cliff; people move, have kids, take on different jobs, or prioritize relationships relevant to their careers. "When you get older, you tend to have different perspectives on your friendships," she said. "You don't need your friends to know where you are at all times when you're older, because you probably have children, spouses, in-laws, there's just different relationships that bubble to the surface in my opinion," In my informal surveying, which also included several coworkers, millennials were the most likely to have very strong thoughts on location sharing. Some outright hated it, although still shared with one or two friends, and others felt no need for it, unless they were happily coupled and shared with spouses. Some said they found it to be strangely intimate. Olivia Bethea, 31, said she only shares with four people. She said she's noticed location sharing coming up more in regular conversations, with people offhandedly referencing that they checked where someone else was. She doesn't see herself expanding her location-sharing circle more. "A lot of people end up sharing where they are anyway on Instagram and stuff, but I'm finding myself to be a little bit more protective over it," she said. "People can make a lot of inferences from your location, and I just don't want to invite those inferences." Millennials grew up before everyone carried an always-on GPS device at all times. A concern that I heard repeatedly was about surveillance and willingness to constantly reveal where they were, which doesn't seem to bother the always-tracked and always-online Gen Zers. "Millennials, it wasn't something that we always had. I guess if you're Gen Z, it's kind of always been a thing," Hall said, adding, "I guess it's just something to be skeptical about." When I spoke to Gen Xers about location sharing, I was met with a proverbial shrug. The forgotten generation, born 1965 to 1980, doesn't seem to be too pressed about location sharing, although they're not eager to adopt the practice either. Meredith Finn, a Gen Xer in her 50s in Maine, said she thinks she missed the location-sharing bandwagon completely. It would've been more fun in college, on a night when all her friends were out at different bars. "I remember nights when we'd go from bar to bar looking for some of our friends, and we'd just miss them," she said. "And it just would've been kind of nice to be able to see where everybody was hanging out. Of course, we didn't have anything like that. We didn't even have cellphones when I was in college." She said that she'd probably be willing to share her location with a few friends. But if anyone came up to her and asked to share her location, "I think I would say, 'Why? Just send me a text and ask me where I am.'" Leslie Lancaster, a 47-year-old in California, felt similarly — she said she's shared location when she's navigating somewhere difficult to find on a map, or trying to find friends in rural locations. Lancaster said she can see the benefits of it, but also how it could become controlling in the wrong hands. "For myself, my husband and I, I don't need to know where he's at all the time. So that's why I probably wouldn't share my location with him, unless I were potentially off on a vacation or a trip where I was not with him," she said. Both Gen Xers said they could see its utility in a time when folks are struggling to connect or feeling more isolated. Lancaster said she could understand the impulse to see where your friends are, even if you're not actively communicating. "People are so isolated now. I mean, since the pandemic and a lot of work from home, a lot of people are just in their little bubbles," Finn said, adding that it's rarer to pop into your regular coffeeshop and run into five friends. "It doesn't happen the way it used to." Like many technological advances, your thoughts on location sharing are a reflection of your own situation. It's at a crossroads of issues facing our social lives: The lack of third spaces has put them into our phones, social circles are shrinking, and we've had to use technology to fill the gaps. I'm sure Gen Alpha, born 2010 to 2024, will come up with something that horrifies and shocks me (they're already back on Snapchat). As I creep toward age 30, I am thinking about the ways the social contours of my life have changed; in speaking with other Gen Z peers, we all realized we had a few friends we'd fallen out of touch with who were still lingering on Find My Friends. Right now, though, it feels mean to pull the cord. "I predict that this is something that you're going to change your relationship with," Goldfarb told me. She added, "I think that it's more likely that it's going to be a more concentrated friend group that will need to know this about you."
