You get in doors, and stay out of the way.

*shrug* You can still provide intel, even staying out of the way. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 08:35 5
- Just what the authorities need, hundreds of calls from citizens during a crisis. -- nm - Spawn Jan 9, 08:36 4
  - Think back to 9/11. A truck bomb supposedy hit a Federal building. Planes over Ohio were supposedly part of the attack. - TWuG Jan 9, 08:41 1
    - And disrupting New York calls would have still allowed those calls to happen. -- nm - Spawn Jan 9, 08:43
  - it's not like the 911 operators have another job to do. they're basically emergency services call screeners. -- nm - mafic Jan 9, 08:39 1
    - Screening 100 calls is much different than screening 1000 calls or 10,000 calls. They sure as hell don't need to be - TWuG Jan 9, 08:44
