Crash happened three days ago and the pilot is still waiting in that house for the 911 dispatcher to figure out how to send an ambulance. Hopefully he is getting along well with his new foster family.
-
OMG! That 911 operator needs to find another job...
-
That lady should NOT be a dispatcher. She doesn’t think on her toes, put things together with context clues, or even just listen to the person in general. Blows my mind people that incompetent are allowed to do those jobs.
-
As a dispatcher, even I think this took to long. I know its rare to have a military pilot tell you he crashed his plane. But all I need to hear is "Military" and "Plane Crash" And that's enough to put a call in. I'm not about ask how far he fell, I don't need to know how a military jet malfunctioned. It's above my pay grade and unless an officer wants me to ask, I'm not going to. They can ask all that when they get there.
-
She's reading off a sheet just like any customer service help line. I'm surprised she didn't tell him to turn the jet off. Wait 2 minutes and turn it back on
-
Obviously qualifications for a 911 dispatcher are only that you can answer a phone.
-
Dispatch: I dont know, can you please draw a picture and send to me.
-
I understood the FIRST time the homeowner told her what happened. Exactly what was going on in the situation and what was needed. He was very clear and descriptive, should’ve taken 30 seconds to get an ambulance on the way.
-
The military needs its own 3 digit number to dial this is embarrassing
-
I get the feeling he would have reached a hospital sooner for calling Uber than 911. The incompetence is disgusting. How many times do they have to tell her the same thing?
-
did she really ask the piolet how far he fell and what caused him to fall
-
Dispatchers are really a pain in a situation of emergency
-
Wow ! That dispatcher is a piece of work !! If nothing else turn the call over to your supervisor. What part of "I'm a pilot in the Military and I ejected" did she not understand ?!?!? Was her previous employment a receptionist at a Dental office ??
-
LMAO...I hope I never have to call 911 if dispatchers are like this
-
Fire that 911 dispatcher asap. She's incompetent!
-
"Send an ambulance to this address" should be enough to get an ambulance rolling. My god, that poor woman had a hard time with the simplest of tasks. Respect to the pilot who kept his cool. I would have twisted off on her.
-
I cannot believe the pilot does not have an emergency radio on his flight suit. I can't believe the 911 operator could not understand what the situation was.
-
Rampant incompetence everywhere these days. Thank God the pilot wasn't bleeding to death with this operator making him repeat so many times before actually doing anything.
-
Seems there's a lot of red flags on all of this. First the transponder was shut off, why?? Second, it was first reported the pilot turned on the auto pilot and bailed out with no known mechanical issues at all, why? Third, they said it was being escorted by 2 fighter jets, but didn't know where it went down or it's flight path. If it was being escorted, how did the escort jets not follow it to know exactly where it went down?
-
That's wild man. Glad he is alive.
