> Emergency dispatch centers fielding dozens of automated 911 calls from iPhones
The submission title is missing vital context, original title:
“Colorado ski town emergency dispatch centers fielding dozens of automated 911 calls from skier iPhones”
- pessimizer 4y agoYeah. If it's too long, better to take out the "emergency dispatch centers." "Colorado town fielding dozens of automated 911 calls from skier iPhones"
- anonporridge 4y agoBut that wouldn't generate as many clicks!
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoI think lots of us were able to assume that context from the title
- strombofulous 4y agoMy first thought was that more people were able to contact 911 because of the new satellite feature
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoThis reminds me when I was younger my family would bring walkie talkies to talk to each other when skiing. But they didn't work well or at all if you were on different mountains, in a valley, etc. It's a wonder we were able to not get lost lol
- dotancohen 4y agoI thought that there was some sort of natural disaster in the town, resulting in POTS phones and normal cell service being out, but some Apple feature (meshing perhaps) enabling the automated alerts to get through.
