Thanks I haven't seen any news on it. Google doesn't
report it yet.
I cannot find out what our 911 system is suppose to do in this event, and why there is no back up. Local news is not on for another 15 min , I saw the warning this happened on WGN watching the Cubbies.
Can it be anything but sabotage, there are no storms and in that event if 911 doesn't have a backup generator for its system what good is it?!
From 95'
In our continuing report on the new $217 million Chicago 911 Communications Center that is located at 1411 West Madison Street on the City's West Side, some glitches have been found in the computer system of what is being called the nation's most sophisticated emergency communications system. This new center is replacing the more than 30-year old communication system at Chicago Police Headquarters, located at 1121 South State Street, where police dispatchers still keep track of the 911 calls and the squad cars on the street with handwritten cards and sit in front of blinking maps. The new center is highly computerized and has what is described as state-of-the-art software that is so detailed it has information about every street and building in the City of Chicago.
