I called 911 in Orlando and got a busy signal. When I called back, someone picked up after a few rings.
I called 911 here and an automated machine picked up that said, "An emergency operator will be with you shortly." Shortly my ass. It took almost 5 minutes.
I've had a nightmare before where I'm being chased by a bad guy and I try dialing 911 but I get a busy signal. It's scary to know the nightmare is real!
Thank goodness the times I've called 911 have been for minor car accidents. What if I was bleeding out my eyes after being hit by a semi and someone who was trying to call for an ambulence got put on hold? Those few minutes they're on hold could mean life or death.

Anyway, I feel bad for the kid. The lawsuit will probably get thrown out but I do hope the 911 operator gets fired in the end.
