One of the most common elements in American society is the use of the emergency system known as 911. It seems this system is so wide-spread and commonly used that it has always been there. But like everything else, there was a start.
In this episode I explore a bit about how the system came about and the first 911 call.
You can find a lot of information about 911 on the internet with a simple search. Oh by the way, on September 11th, 2001, the day America was tragically attacked, the 911 emergency system receive thousands of calls resulting in the system being overburdened and inoperable. Calling 911 was an automatic response to this and almost every tragedy.
