Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Thats what I was thinking. What if he got it out once and passed out or the phone went dead. He would've been screwed.Originally Posted by wreave
Listen to it without reading the subtitle... it was hard to understand at first.
Looks like someone got pwned by the interweb.
That call was pretty intense.

That may be, but a 911 operator should be some what local with general knowledge of the area.

Hopefully he survived. Listen to how polite he was to the dispatcher.

As a dispatcher myself, I agree with what you're saying. I was getting frustrated the way the dispatcher handled that call and how they received the information from the poor young man. I hate it when responders lose that ability to be compassionate and fail to add that sense of connection to the caller. Once you have the information and responders are on the way, just talk to them and reassure them with a compassionate tone. The dispatcher sounded like a damn robot. Guess it's just me quarterbacking it, but it's hard when I see this kind of crap. Glad that young man is okay. He has a great sense of composure and strong will. Very cool to see how he thought of others in his predicament.
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
Wow- intense is the only word that I can come up with, but I was practically exhausted with anxiety after listening to that.
I share the same frustrations with many of you with the dispatcher- what the hell was all that about?
I'm stunned that that workplace would not have better procedures around dangerous equipment- you'd think there;d be a buddy system in place when someone is clearing a jam from a baler.

Was thinking the same thing. He had to give it like 8 times along with the name of the business. Dispatchers were terrible.
They set us up the bomb!
