Tech 10-9

‘But Dials’ Straining 911 Emergency Systems
Check out the article here.

It's one thing to butt dial your mom. But accidentally calling 911 is another matter.
  • Google did a survey that a large percentage of 911 calls in San Francisco were accidental
  • 30% were butt dials
  • Places a strain on the people who have to call the people back
  • The people often do not answer afterwards
  • Survey shows it has taken about fourteen minutes to frantically get a response while not knowing if it was accidental or not
  • They consider this the "pain part" of their day
  • This increased the risk of actual 911 callers
