They started using 911 as the emergency number in areas within Canada and America in the late 60s and early 70s. I'm not sure when it became the official national emergency number though.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

The way 911 was decided as the national emergency number is that back in 1967, there was no universal emergency number, you just called the police station, which was 7 numbers long, so the FCC met up with ATT and decided to make a short and sweet number, and they chose 911 because it was the only 3 digit number that was not an office code, area code, or service code, and it wasn't until 1999, only 93% of the USA had 911 service, and today even, not the entire country has this service.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

One more interesting thing about the 9-1-1 number, when they first made the system, the first number actually was 9-11 (WAY before September 11th), but was changed to 9-1-1 because too many people wasted time searching for the 11 key on their phones.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That's how they did it? Man, I feel dumb for looking for the '91' key now.

I don't think that the terrorist completely planned the 911 attacks to be on 9/11 because of 911. like I don't think that they would be like, "okay, lets try to make this attack be on 9/11 because of 911...oops, can't do it this year, the skies are too cloudy, let's wait a another year. *One year later* Okay, this time it won't work out, let's wait another year" They were probably ready to do the attacks around this time and maybe they had a choice to do it on 9/10, 9/11, 9/14, and they picked 9/11 because it's 911, but didn't completely plan on having it on 9/11.

Like someone above said: terrorists aren't stupid people. I really, really wish they were, so we could end all of it, but the only reason they're still around is because they're intelligent enough to get away time and time again.

Of course i knew who Hitler was and what he did before that but i never got into the details until it was taught it school. Also its not the kids' fault that today's generation is dumb, its the parents'. (and also the fault of the gadgets and ipods and everything they have). They've substituted google for their brains.
