Here are some excerpts from the above article: Debra Stevens was working her normal newspaper delivery route in Fort Smith, Arkansas, when rising flood waters began to overtake her SUV. A terrified Stevens told the dispatcher over and over that she was going to die in the rapidly rising water. "This will teach you next time don't drive in the water," the dispatcher told her. Stevens cried uncontrollably. "I'm going to die," Stevens said. Thoughts? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I hate it when I hear stories about dispatchers asking people to give out info during something like a home invasion and person is hiding in closet. Like come on if they go out to see what the person looks like they could die. Even speaking could give away location.

I would make her submit a copy of the audio file of that call with every resume she sends to future employers. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining. 96 Smithing ...

What a truly horrid way to go. Not so much the drowning itself. Thats bad enough on its own but the fact you're going to drown and the only person you can communicate with just doesnt give a fuck. Truly heartbreaking.
I dont get how someone can be on the phone and this not affect them. If it were me it would scar me for life. How people can go through life and be completely indifferent to seeing other people suffer just amazes me. People like that dont deserve the benefits of being part of this society.

A lot of people half-ass it on their final shift at a job but how about don't go "heartless and cruel bitch" on your last day.

butthole666 posted...She should be charged with manslaughter and tbh theres probably an argument to be made for murder If the dispatcher ignored her calls and did not actually dispatch help, I can see it. But in this case? Nope. Nothing she did was illegal... just being an insensitive person. For those who question how you can be so cruel, I can imagine dispatchers losing their sensitivity quite quickly on the job. Except for calls that shouldn't be made to 911, every call is a life/property threatening call. Imagine hearing these for 8 hours a day; you'll quickly learn to dissociate from it, otherwise you will never be able to handle that job. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

It isn't inherently illegal to be an awful person, but if it was, the dispatcher would get life imprisonment.

I forget the term but pretty much if your exposed to a certain thing or evirement for enough it eventuall becuase the norm and you stop feeling great emotion toward it. Like going to Disney world every day for years on end, after a while it just becomes 'meh' or being deployed and in a hostile environment for a long period of time long time dispatchers being put in this situation likely are in the same boat. --- 3DS FC:3368-5403-9633 Name: Kaizer PSN: Blackkaizer ...

If you read the article, the dispatcher was trying to help, did say some fucked up stuff, but did also appear genuinely worried at the end. The truth of the matter is that the rescue team couldn't find her SUV because she couldn't tell them where she was because the floodwaters obfuscated everything.
I do wonder if there was really nothing this woman could have done to give herself more time, but I digress. --- Support your local dock union ... Copied to Clipboard!
