Family Saved By CO Alarm While Sleeping After Passover Seder

One family member called it a "Passover miracle."

A family in New Rochelle celebrating Passover was awakened early Saturday morning to the sound of a carbon monoxide alarm going off.

The Journal News said four generations of the family had only retired for bed three hours before, after having their Passover Seder.

EMTs arrived quickly and, while everyone was conscious, 14 people were taken to hospitals to check for levels of blood-oxygen.
