When I had to call 911 on my dad. Worst day of my entire life, but I thought he was going to kill me. I waited until he left the house to call and I will never forget the kindness of everyone (emergency personal)involved. They helped me through a rough time and one officer stayed with me in the hospital until he was sure that I was 100% safe from my dad. I will never forget that officer.
+ Helloitzkenny It is not PTSD. Modern psychiatrists are misdiagnosing a minor trauma as PTSD. PTSD is reserved for people who put their lives in danger every day and get shot at or attacked regularly. Soldiers and some police can get it. But PTSD is not possible from being a phone operator.
@@VestigialHead my girlfriend actually has PTSD from being in a physically and sexually abusive household for most of her childhood. We've had dozens of people like you tell us that she doesn't have PTSD, yet she has shown 100% of the symptoms of it.

@@Helloitzkenny Yeah do not get me wrong. I am not saying people cannot end up traumatised from horrific events like your girlfriend. I hope she gets help and improves. But she does NOT have PTSD. That is the issue here - doctors misdiagnosing people. Unless she was being shot at regularly for a decent period of time then she does not have PTSD.

Margaret Landry people who are deaf use a relay. In older days it was a text display and a keyboard, nowadays it is a video telephone - like Skype or FaceTime on steroids.

Everything the person who is deaf signs is translated by the relay operator and spoken to the target.
One of my friends during high school was deaf this was in 92 or 93 and yeah the person relays messages from her typing to voice from me. So even being teen girls and if we said oh shit or something they have to say the words. And it's an adult so at first I would apologize. But they really just read, type and talk.
I could never imagine being a 911 operator, the traumatic calls would eat me up inside. it's miraculous these operators can stay so calm and can be life savers
My assumption was that he was only _pretending_ to try to make the gun work. After the fifth time, I would have been 95% confident of that, but still 5% terrified that the next one would work.
I have a few I'll never forget but my first one was a man who was very....overweight. He lived on the 5th or 6th floor of an apartment building. He called in to report he was having trouble breathing. The medics and ambulance get there and they're having trouble getting the stretcher up the stairs since the corners are tight and he's relatively high up. It took them a good 5 - 10 minutes just to get up to his apartment, all the while he's getting more and more distressed and kept saying "help me, please. Please help!" I had stayed on the phone with him until someone made it to him. He died on the phone with me, seconds before the EMT's and medics walked in his apartment. They weren't able to bring him back.
I'm not a 911 operator, but I remember when I prank called the emergency services when I was 6. I wish I knew better and didn't do the prank call. I still regret it. This is what happened: 911: "Hello, 911" Me: "*random gibberish*" 911: "What?" *I hung up* I wish I never did the prank call!
I'm not either, but worked in EMS. My buddies told me this story. They were called by dispatch to show up to a domestic dispute. They drive to the neighborhood, and it's dark, since it's night time. This area had no street lights or anything, so you couldn't see a thing. They get out of the ambulance, get the stretcher out and suddenly cop runs up to them and yells "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" so they put the stretcher back, get in the ambulance and drive away ten minutes from the original location. These guys forgot to tell my dispatch that there was a lady barricaded in her house, with a loaded Glock. She shot her husband and swat was working on getting into the house. If my dispatch was informed, my buddies would have stayed somewhere safe instead of showing up in the area. Dispatch was only informed that EMS services was needed for possible gun shots, but they left out that the area was not safe.
I liked the story with the kid getting scared and calling 911, nice to know not all the stories were about murder or something bad just a kid who got scared by a storm :)
when i was nine, i had to call 911 on my dad every two weeks to once a month for a whole year because he used to have seizures. my little brother was three at the time and special needs, so i always had to take care of him and my dad while i waited for the ambulance. i have a very vivid memory of one of his seizures. i was getting ready to go to school (my dad drove me) and i came downstairs to eat breakfast. it was halfway into the year, so i was always very prepared for his seizures. i grabbed the cereal and my dad started talking to me. he was mumbling and his eyes were glassy so i ran into the dining room, grabbed my headphones and put them over my brothers ears, and heard my dad collapse. i started hyperventilating and i could hear my brother crying for food so that made it worse. i put the gate up so the dogs and cat couldn’t get in, and i tried my best to roll my dad over (my dad is like, football player weight and 6’6” so it didnt really help). i called 911 and they came to get him. the lady on the phone was very nice to me and they brought my brother over to the neighbors house (we trusted them). i just sat on the curb and cried. he hasnt had a seizure for about five years now, but before he moved away i was too nervous to stay the night at his house (my parents are divorced). i still have nightmares about his mumbling and the screaming. ive had horrible panic attacks too. im very fond of 911 operators though, bc for that whole year they were there for me the most out of everyone in my family
I couldn’t bare being a 9-1-1 Operator, I would most likely start uncontrollably balling half the time, props to the operators. That has to mess up their mental heath.
My mother was a 911 dispatcher and my father was a fire fighter and first responder. He got called out to a few incidents that really bugged him. One was a suicidal man on the side of the road and they told him to go and make sure the man was ok and alive....they told him to check his pulse....there was no where for him to do that is all he said about it. To this day it haunts him. One of my friends became a 911 dispatcher and she takes so much pride in her job I just hope it doesn't leave her with emotional scars like some of the ones in this video.
So much respect for emergency call centers. I couldn’t handle it.

2:05 reminds me of a tech support story: someone calls tech support, then yells the instructions to the person at the computer, ten feet away. the tech says, "can you please give the phone to the person at the computer?" second person gets on the line...then yells the instructions to the first guy! THEY JUST CHANGED PLACES!
My god, I would die of shock from just one of those calls. Especially a suicide one, I can't handle the topic let alone this sort of thing. We are truly lucky to have people kind and selfless enough to put themselves through this to help people in need
You know, when videos like this come on, I can't bring myself to play anything super violent, or do anything to do with something dark. I try to do it as some kind of measly compensation for those who are no longer with us. God rest their souls.
Just imagine being the kid that’s like “oh what hospital was I born in? I need to know for school..” You’d have a pretty interesting story there for your kid..
Those suicide ones make sense. Some people don't want to die alone or hurt others killing themselves. Sometimes you just can't save them. Sure, you can try, but if they're determined they'll do it. Best you can do in those fucked up situations is to let them say goodbye.
For the first one, the girl had actually read that online. I've heard multiple 911 operators have gotten calls like that and no, they are not trained to respond knowing you're with someone. Best bet is to go about with the plan and hope the operator is like OP
I feel so, so, so sorry for both the man who hung himself, and for the person who had to listen to him do it. I can relate what they said about having panic attacks caused by movie scenes like that, I'm the same way. I can't watch or read a hanging scene or I start to hyperventilate, get numb and tingly all over, feel like I need to run away or like I'm about to die, feel like I'm choking, etc. I hope someday that person can move on and not have that be a trigger for them anymore.
One of the stories reminds me of the Danny Glover bit about “why do only guys have crazy ex stories?” It’s because if a guy has had a crazy ex he gets a story, if a girl has a relationship with a crazy person. Well.. doesn’t turn out so good.
I’d have a worse case of anxiety if I did that kind of work, I really got sad at the ones that didn’t end well.... I pray that those people are doing well after those calls, and my condolences for the life’s that where lost 😭
@@CorHellekin No, either the frequency is scrambled, or it requires special equipment, but from what I understand, it's not super difficult to come by.
Had a friend who’s a dispatcher. Got a call from a freaked out teenager. A motorcycle darted in front of his car and the guy got flung into the air in front of a gas station. He immediately pulled over and called 911. About halfway through the kid telling him what happened he heard a woman screaming on the other side and the kid stops talking, sounds like the phone is dropped, and he still hears a woman screaming at the kid. Apparently some woman saw what happened and dragged the poor teen out of his car and started beating him and making him look at what happened. The lady was arrested for assault. The motorcyclist had an alcohol level of .1. And had run a red light. Going 110.
my mum was a 911 operator when she got a call from this guy that shot his son. not on accident but on purpose as she was talking to the guy she could her what she assumed the mother in the back ground crying and begging for help, the worst part about the call was the fact that the father was completely calm about what he did and made it clear that he wanted his son dead. when help arrived it was to late as the son had died. the father walked over to the cops and let him self be arrested and later got sentence to jail, i don't know for how long though. i don't know what happened to the mother of the kid
176Blue, thank you. I am currently on medication and go to therapy often, so am I’m good right now. Thanks for showing some concern. Not many people do.
My mom used to be a dispatcher and would often train new people. While training someone, she let them take a call. The lady asked to order a couple pizzas and the trainee responded with something along the lines of "This line is for emergencies only, not prank calls" Thankfully my mom took over before anything went downhill.
Beber el Agua It became a widespread way for domestic violence victims to call 911 while their abuser was in the room with them because a 911 call where a woman pretended to order pizza went viral.
Almost 30 years ago, I was a 911 call taker in a California city (do you know the way?). I received a call from a frightened elderly woman that said her daughter was trying to break down her door and yelling that she's going to kill her. I stayed on the line with her. Dispatchers are in two groups: PSD1 and PSD2. PSD1 (my group) receives the 911 calls and forwards the info via computer to the PSD2 who talk to police and fire. The PSD2 computer texted me saying police were 3 minutes away. I could hear the daughter in the background banging and screaming at the mother. Text: police are now 2 minutes away. At one minute, I get this text: Police called away due to a police involved shooting. My brain is screaming "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?!" About the time I get the text, the mother hung up her phone. I tried calling back but there was no answer.
It is almost 10:30 at night and the narrator's voice actually almost lulled me to sleep! Good idea for me! Have trouble sleeping; watch one of the videos!
I'm normally able to handle hearing things like this when watching these, but dang, the ones with the guy burning himself & his screams showing on the other end and the one where the operator listened to the noose swing for a little while really got to me. Some of these stories were absolutely brutal. Randomly just made me imagine a movie about a 911 operator dealing with the trauma that comes with that line of work, like some crazy psychological horror or something.
For all that i've been let down by one 110 Operator before (germany) it wasnt really serious just vandalism and death threats on the street outside our flat, i am still always impressed and mortified at what emergency Operators are put through. This is an occupation I dont know if I could do and have alot of admiration and respect for.
Love the community story.. helping the emergency responders get where they need to be. Kudos! Well the aunt won't be visiting a casino for a while.. a lifetime ban from casinos would be a perf punishment.. but I know that can't be done... I have so much respect for 911 operators.. wish I could be one (don't have the mental or emotional strength). On a side note, you guys should check out IAM911... it's a movement towards getting 911 operators recognized as more than just someone on a phone.
I was a telephone operator, and particular companies mandate that you have to process the call as a first responder BEFORE you transfer to 911. We do not have the same training or compensation that 911 dispatch does but because the calls can come in at any time on the general queue you can't avoid them. Knew a girl whose first emergency call was a gunpoint hostage. She quit after less than a week at the call center
I once witnessed an accident on the highway there was an old man in his car and it ll went so slowly it looked as if he pulled in to the little ditch between the highways car was almost hit by a truck my step-grandma ran out of the car to see if he was ok thought he was dead for a second but he was sleeping. oh and my cousin tried to call 911 but it didn't work for some reason.. the guy had fallen asleep at the wheel ad ripped up a bunch of the fencing around the ditch

Thank you for sacrificing your sanity to help those of us having a horrible day. I remember life before 911 and it is an invaluable resource.
what sucks too is that it's a shit job nobody wants to do and nobody gets any respect for because of things they can't help.
for example:
a couple years back, in order to cut cost, the state of saxony closed off quite a few emergency call centres, instead opting to use a few bigger ones with more staff which are further apart.
end result is that now emergency operators have to cover areas they are unfamiliar with which, as off now, has lead to the following sad scenarios:
a car on fire became a house on fire because the operator didn't alert the correct fire fighter department (the one actually responsible for covering the area in question), so by the time the department that was alerted arrived, the fire had already spread to the building next to the car.
one time a fire fighter trying to radio in to the centre for some reason was cut off because of a misunderstanding, the firefighter trying to radio in was from the town of Mylau which was inside the local area, however the operator (being unfamiliar with the now larger area) was unaware of this, he did however know of a town called Mühlau (pronounced exactly the same) outside of their area of responsibillity so he kept telling the guy to cut it out.

The person who is deaf calls the relay operator, who is a trained interpreter of sign language. The relay operator calls the final destination and speaks to the person on the other end of the line. Everything the target says is translated into sign language by the relay operator and shown on the tv of the person who is deaf.

@@carppenis944 the text to speech doesn't read it as a sad face. but only reads the it as a comma or colon, or bracket. whatever it is
This is so sad colon bracket
I could never imagine being a 911 operator, the traumatic calls would eat me up inside. it's miraculous these operators can stay so calm and can be life savers
“The body was lying there in flames”
**clown music playing in the background**
"I'm not calling to be talked down, I'm calling because I want someone to hear me die." That's fucked up.
I love how he plays Kevin MacLeod music for a video about dispatchers getting calls of people burning themselves alive

7:45 Jeez, someone or something is looking out for that guy apparently.
My assumption was that he was only _pretending_ to try to make the gun work. After the fifth time, I would have been 95% confident of that, but still 5% terrified that the next one would work.
Could be bad parts in the gun
I have a few I'll never forget but my first one was a man who was very....overweight. He lived on the 5th or 6th floor of an apartment building. He called in to report he was having trouble breathing. The medics and ambulance get there and they're having trouble getting the stretcher up the stairs since the corners are tight and he's relatively high up. It took them a good 5 - 10 minutes just to get up to his apartment, all the while he's getting more and more distressed and kept saying "help me, please. Please help!" I had stayed on the phone with him until someone made it to him. He died on the phone with me, seconds before the EMT's and medics walked in his apartment. They weren't able to bring him back.
“I heard the woman screaming as she fell all the way down” *plucky piano music plays*
I'm not a 911 operator, but I remember when I prank called the emergency services when I was 6. I wish I knew better and didn't do the prank call. I still regret it. This is what happened:
911: "Hello, 911"
Me: "*random gibberish*"
911: "What?"
*I hung up*
I wish I never did the prank call!
@Arachniteer A lifetime of regret, apparently, lol.
I'm not either, but worked in EMS. My buddies told me this story. They were called by dispatch to show up to a domestic dispute.
They drive to the neighborhood, and it's dark, since it's night time. This area had no street lights or anything, so you couldn't see a thing. They get out of the ambulance, get the stretcher out and suddenly cop runs up to them and yells "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"
so they put the stretcher back, get in the ambulance and drive away ten minutes from the original location.
These guys forgot to tell my dispatch that there was a lady barricaded in her house, with a loaded Glock. She shot her husband and swat was working on getting into the house.
If my dispatch was informed, my buddies would have stayed somewhere safe instead of showing up in the area.
Dispatch was only informed that EMS services was needed for possible gun shots, but they left out that the area was not safe.
The music doesn’t really fit but at least it means I’ll be able to go to sleep after this.
I liked the story with the kid getting scared and calling 911, nice to know not all the stories were about murder or something bad just a kid who got scared by a storm :)
the happy music in the background takes the feeling away from creepy 911 calls.
They should at least play the theme song from the 70s Halloween movie
I like how chill that one dude was, like "Yeah I burnt my (i'm assuming) wife, take me to jail now please."
when i was nine, i had to call 911 on my dad every two weeks to once a month for a whole year because he used to have seizures. my little brother was three at the time and special needs, so i always had to take care of him and my dad while i waited for the ambulance.
i have a very vivid memory of one of his seizures. i was getting ready to go to school (my dad drove me) and i came downstairs to eat breakfast. it was halfway into the year, so i was always very prepared for his seizures. i grabbed the cereal and my dad started talking to me. he was mumbling and his eyes were glassy so i ran into the dining room, grabbed my headphones and put them over my brothers ears, and heard my dad collapse.
i started hyperventilating and i could hear my brother crying for food so that made it worse. i put the gate up so the dogs and cat couldn’t get in, and i tried my best to roll my dad over (my dad is like, football player weight and 6’6” so it didnt really help).
i called 911 and they came to get him. the lady on the phone was very nice to me and they brought my brother over to the neighbors house (we trusted them). i just sat on the curb and cried.
he hasnt had a seizure for about five years now, but before he moved away i was too nervous to stay the night at his house (my parents are divorced). i still have nightmares about his mumbling and the screaming. ive had horrible panic attacks too. im very fond of 911 operators though, bc for that whole year they were there for me the most out of everyone in my family
that’s horrible, no child should ever have to deal with that and the responsibility of that. i truly hope your family + you are doing better.
wait, wait wait, we have a text to speech that ACTUALLY says the number right? Subbed, bro.
Why do I watch these videos when they give me anxiety and will keep me up at night
Same
I couldn’t bare being a 9-1-1 Operator, I would most likely start uncontrollably balling half the time, props to the operators. That has to mess up their mental heath.

It goes from so sad to... just that
My mother was a 911 dispatcher and my father was a fire fighter and first responder. He got called out to a few incidents that really bugged him. One was a suicidal man on the side of the road and they told him to go and make sure the man was ok and alive....they told him to check his pulse....there was no where for him to do that is all he said about it. To this day it haunts him.
One of my friends became a 911 dispatcher and she takes so much pride in her job I just hope it doesn't leave her with emotional scars like some of the ones in this video.

So much respect for emergency call centers. I couldn’t handle it.
2:05 reminds me of a tech support story:
someone calls tech support, then yells the instructions to the person at the computer, ten feet away.
the tech says, "can you please give the phone to the person at the computer?"
second person gets on the line...then yells the instructions to the first guy!
THEY JUST CHANGED PLACES!
My god, I would die of shock from just one of those calls. Especially a suicide one, I can't handle the topic let alone this sort of thing.
We are truly lucky to have people kind and selfless enough to put themselves through this to help people in need
You know, when videos like this come on, I can't bring myself to play anything super violent, or do anything to do with something dark. I try to do it as some kind of measly compensation for those who are no longer with us. God rest their souls.
HAHA the doggo at the end! Literally laughed out loud
"911 Where is you emergency?" Lmao XD
I clicked this to hear wholesome 911 stories... where 911 didn't FAIL. DANGIT
Just imagine being the kid that’s like “oh what hospital was I born in? I need to know for school..”
You’d have a pretty interesting story there for your kid..
Those suicide ones make sense. Some people don't want to die alone or hurt others killing themselves. Sometimes you just can't save them. Sure, you can try, but if they're determined they'll do it. Best you can do in those fucked up situations is to let them say goodbye.

*HAPPY MUSIC PLAYS IN BACKROUND*
Oh woah, ptsd, that fire thing reminds me of the time I tried to run out the door and escape, but he took my wrist and pulled me back.
People like the guy at 2:50 make me think there are still good people in the world. I hope that dispatcher has a good life.
The story of the lady waking up at night terrified by what she heard 15 years prior got me good. I feel so so sorry for the people on the calls.
Text: says ma‘am
Text2speech: mom?
For the first one, the girl had actually read that online. I've heard multiple 911 operators have gotten calls like that and no, they are not trained to respond knowing you're with someone. Best bet is to go about with the plan and hope the operator is like OP
8:51: " I have fallen, and I can't get up!"
I feel so, so, so sorry for both the man who hung himself, and for the person who had to listen to him do it. I can relate what they said about having panic attacks caused by movie scenes like that, I'm the same way. I can't watch or read a hanging scene or I start to hyperventilate, get numb and tingly all over, feel like I need to run away or like I'm about to die, feel like I'm choking, etc. I hope someday that person can move on and not have that be a trigger for them anymore.
Imaging robbing a house and the owner just starts having a baby in front of you, damn
One of the stories reminds me of the Danny Glover bit about “why do only guys have crazy ex stories?” It’s because if a guy has had a crazy ex he gets a story, if a girl has a relationship with a crazy person. Well.. doesn’t turn out so good.
I'm pretty dense, so someone explain to me how a deaf man called 911 and managed to HEAR the instructions of childbirth?? Just me, or...

Relay services act as speech-to-text translators
Thanks. I literally had no idea, so I learned something new today! Thanks kind stranger!
I’d have a worse case of anxiety if I did that kind of work, I really got sad at the ones that didn’t end well.... I pray that those people are doing well after those calls, and my condolences for the life’s that where lost 😭
11:30 I can't stop laughing at that, because of just how absurd the whole situation is. "Everyone listens on the police scanner like it's their job".
Not my first language so, I'm sorry what is a police scanner and how do you listen to it?
I got sick for a moment because I thought the uncle had a police scanner and was listening to the whole thing.
@@CorHellekin It is basically the radio channel that the police uses.
@@Twinrehz ohh thank you, but anyone can hear it? dang
@@CorHellekin No, either the frequency is scrambled, or it requires special equipment, but from what I understand, it's not super difficult to come by.
Had a friend who’s a dispatcher. Got a call from a freaked out teenager. A motorcycle darted in front of his car and the guy got flung into the air in front of a gas station. He immediately pulled over and called 911.
About halfway through the kid telling him what happened he heard a woman screaming on the other side and the kid stops talking, sounds like the phone is dropped, and he still hears a woman screaming at the kid.
Apparently some woman saw what happened and dragged the poor teen out of his car and started beating him and making him look at what happened.
The lady was arrested for assault.
The motorcyclist had an alcohol level of .1.
And had run a red light.
Going 110.
*Serious story about life and death while ragtime music plays in the background*
my mum was a 911 operator when she got a call from this guy that shot his son. not on accident but on purpose as she was talking to the guy she could her what she assumed the mother in the back ground crying and begging for help, the worst part about the call was the fact that the father was completely calm about what he did and made it clear that he wanted his son dead. when help arrived it was to late as the son had died. the father walked over to the cops and let him self be arrested and later got sentence to jail, i don't know for how long though. i don't know what happened to the mother of the kid
From the other videos I’ve watched, I always get chills when I see and hear, “I’d like to order a pizza,” knowing what it might really mean.
Robot Voice: “9-1-1”
Also Robot Voice: “soundsofactualscreamsistillhavenightmaresofjustthesoundgooddoggo”
I almost committed suicide. My best friend talked me out of it.
I'm glad you're still with us and wish you all the best in life. You have a great friend
176Blue, thank you. I am currently on medication and go to therapy often, so am I’m good right now. Thanks for showing some concern. Not many people do.
That friend is the best human ever to be a friend
@@justsomemothmanwithinterne7921 Bless you friend💜
Sane here, I lost my 3rd friend to it earlier this year.
My mom used to be a dispatcher and would often train new people. While training someone, she let them take a call. The lady asked to order a couple pizzas and the trainee responded with something along the lines of "This line is for emergencies only, not prank calls"
Thankfully my mom took over before anything went downhill.
I donno if it's an actual 911 lingo to ask for a pizza when you're in danger, but that exact conversation is in a video game called '911 Operator'
Beber el Agua It became a widespread way for domestic violence victims to call 911 while their abuser was in the room with them because a 911 call where a woman pretended to order pizza went viral.
Almost 30 years ago, I was a 911 call taker in a California city (do you know the way?). I received a call from a frightened elderly woman that said her daughter was trying to break down her door and yelling that she's going to kill her. I stayed on the line with her. Dispatchers are in two groups: PSD1 and PSD2. PSD1 (my group) receives the 911 calls and forwards the info via computer to the PSD2 who talk to police and fire. The PSD2 computer texted me saying police were 3 minutes away. I could hear the daughter in the background banging and screaming at the mother. Text: police are now 2 minutes away. At one minute, I get this text: Police called away due to a police involved shooting. My brain is screaming "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?!" About the time I get the text, the mother hung up her phone. I tried calling back but there was no answer.
It is almost 10:30 at night and the narrator's voice actually almost lulled me to sleep! Good idea for me! Have trouble sleeping; watch one of the videos!
4:20 *telling a harrowing story of when they had to stay on the phone during someone’s death and hear other people’s reactions*

I love that every video ends with a meme hahahahaha such a happy end to such a dark video
I love how the ma'ams sound like "mom"
I'm normally able to handle hearing things like this when watching these, but dang, the ones with the guy burning himself & his screams showing on the other end and the one where the operator listened to the noose swing for a little while really got to me. Some of these stories were absolutely brutal. Randomly just made me imagine a movie about a 911 operator dealing with the trauma that comes with that line of work, like some crazy psychological horror or something.

For all that i've been let down by one 110 Operator before (germany) it wasnt really serious just vandalism and death threats on the street outside our flat, i am still always impressed and mortified at what emergency Operators are put through. This is an occupation I dont know if I could do and have alot of admiration and respect for.
Love the community story.. helping the emergency responders get where they need to be. Kudos!
Well the aunt won't be visiting a casino for a while.. a lifetime ban from casinos would be a perf punishment.. but I know that can't be done...
I have so much respect for 911 operators.. wish I could be one (don't have the mental or emotional strength).
On a side note, you guys should check out IAM911... it's a movement towards getting 911 operators recognized as more than just someone on a phone.
I was a telephone operator, and particular companies mandate that you have to process the call as a first responder BEFORE you transfer to 911. We do not have the same training or compensation that 911 dispatch does but because the calls can come in at any time on the general queue you can't avoid them. Knew a girl whose first emergency call was a gunpoint hostage. She quit after less than a week at the call center
5:20 And when us women say we're afraid of men, the men ask why...
Yes, because women never do any stuff like that to men 🙄
*Hears story about a man hurting a woman somewhere*
*Blames "men" in general*
Fuck you.
911 operators need more recognition, They go through so much and no one ever says anything about them its always the officers and stuff
I once witnessed an accident on the highway there was an old man in his car and it ll went so slowly it looked as if he pulled in to the little ditch between the highways car was almost hit by a truck my step-grandma ran out of the car to see if he was ok thought he was dead for a second but he was sleeping. oh and my cousin tried to call 911 but it didn't work for some reason.. the guy had fallen asleep at the wheel ad ripped up a bunch of the fencing around the ditch
For that first one any normal operator would probably hang up but that person was so smart to think quickly like that
