911 OUTAGE STATEWIDE IN MASSACHUSETTS

Posted on 06/18/2024 11:25:33 AM PDT by Lonesome in Massachussets

Just got an emergency message on my phone, around 2:22. Early message at 1:56 PM from MIT/LL that 911 was down for the local area.

How will the Massholes react to no 911 service?

Just managing statistics. Nothing to see here. The new 6911 number to call in thought crimes, insulting neighbors with differing viewpoints, and obstacles to gender reassignment, are all still fully functioning.

Obviously the then new 911 service didn't save Mary Jo Kopechne in Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts.

Why would anyone need 911 in the liberal paradise known as Massachusetts?

Maybe because their apartment is too hot and they need an air conditioner.

BS
You need to qualify that.

911 in our town/county of 18,000 is not a joke.

Sorry, I have no respect for them.

If Tik Tok , X and others were gone then they would react.

Consolidation of regional 911 has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve seen.

A system like this should not get overwhelmed in one place and out all over the state. This is basic telecom 101.

Yup. They knew this 50 years ago when they were starting the internet — I’m sure the phone company knew if even before that. Here we are in the 21st century and putting all our eggs in one basket suddenly seems like a swell idea.

If you can’t report the crime, did it occur?

And…modern telecom systems dont get “overwhelmed”. There should be nearly infinite incoming “channels” (they dont use copper lines anymore.). Someone is getting their rear end chewed out right now.

Yeah. Getting that same alert up here in New Hampshire. Second or third one to come in?
