This is a great question,  I just happen to work for a 911 center.  Let me tell you,  we are the ones who ask all of those "pesky" questions,  that some find worthless.  We are the ones who send help to you.  Sometimes,  you receive very disturbing calls,  and want to cry.  Yes,  we are the veins that run through each city in the U.S.  and with out,  it would be every man for himself.

Call 911 and tell the police what happened.

is Did this really happen.Someone needs to read the papers and just see what  is and has happening in our country. tell them to read about 911 and other security breaches.I do believe that home Land security is following up. they sure as hell wouldn't just let this pass as if it were nothing, or would they

NO CELL PHONE!!!!  Those are used to set of the IED's.  And a mistaken call on the wrong frequency can kill someone.  They had those satelite phones over there, but those do cost an arm and a leg.  As it it, they should be more concerned about getting through a day than calling to chat.  Standing in line a the phone center every now and then is frustraiting, but there is no need to call home every ten minutes.  Don't bother.

NO if anything since 911 I'm more willing to fight than ever.\n\nI'd forget the phone for the moment. \nThere is always a chance of survival. \nI'd be busy beaten the crap out of the person who thinks they can take my life without a fight.\nI would live in this situation because it would be my oppressor that would die not me.\n\nI'd then pick up the phone call Lori to tell her of the grand adventure. That I love her and will be home soon with a hug and a kiss.

People will go on with their lives. It would be scarier on 6-6-6 not 6-6-06. You see there is a 0 between the 2nd and 3rd 6, therefore my first statement is true.

Ahhh you are from Texas... I get it. When I saw this question, I was wondering if you were joking.\n\nTo answer the question, read the 911 Commission Report comprised by a bi-partisan commission btw. In summary, this report concludes Iraq had nothing to do with 911.

The shortest quickest easiest answer to this question that fulfills all of the above conditions while introducing the least amount of explanation ( applying Ockhams razor) is that 911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.  TruthSeeker you rock!!

You can be online and still use the phone.\n\nI haven't ever used Vonage and the like, and never will.  About half my friends who have used services like that swear by them---And whenever they call me it sounds like they're on a regular phone.  The other half, however, sound like they're calling from inside a submarine five fathoms down on a cordless phone from the 80's.  It's a hit or miss thing in my experience, which is something I wouldn't like from my home phone service.\n\nOh, and the little 911 disclaimers at the bottom of their TV ads?  Take them seriously.  There have been a few cases of serious injury and even death because VoIP 911 services have failed miserably.

According to Republic Broadcasting Network radio, 911 was an inside government job to enable Bush to start his war on terror and take more of our freedom away.  It was another step towards a one world government.

You are dead already, don't worry 911 will clean up the mess.

You would not be able to find out an unpublished phone number legally.  Only the phone company and law enforcement would know the number.

I would prevent the 911 terorist attacks.

I believe Code 3 is: 'needing more police'---send all police the dispatch can to that location'...but I think different situations/departments have different codes...like hospitals---they their code 3 is totally different...

911 is more scarier than 666

I strongly believe in our right to privacy. However they are not listening to my phone calls, and if it would save American lives then I would gladly let them listen. One previous answer quoted Ben Franklin. However Franklin lived in a much different time and couldn't even imagine the enemyies we are facing today. How would you feel if they could have avoided the 911 attack by listening to a phone call and didn't because they did not want to infringe on the civil liberties of a few wack jobs.
