Someone pop this in a time capsule and label it "peak twitter, early 21st century"
- MrGilbert 4y ago"Darling, please call 911!" "Wait, I just found a tutorial! I just need to skip the Intro! And the personal story behind this tutorial! And todays message from their sponsor!"
- quickthrower2 4y agoHuh? Who thinks of youtube in an emergency? How about 911?
- tonmoy 4y agoSerious question, should I call 911 if someone is chocking and I don’t know what to do? Would the operator instruct me what to do over the phone?
- JohnFen 4y agoSerious answer: yes.
- rado 4y agoIf 911 works with ambulances, yes.
- JD557 4y agoWhile fortunately I never had to call 911, I'm pretty sure this should be the case. Whoever answers the phone should be ready to either give you immediate instructions (or transfer you to someone who can do that) until an ambulance/police arrives.
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoYes, you will be walked through first aid procedures while the ambulance is on the way.
- Tenoke 4y agoThose videos are typically not monetized, the poster is just being sensationalist.
