    That was awful. I was just heartsick for that poor kid. It's hard to think about.

    You would think he would have told him where he was at. 16 is old enough to know that makes a huge difference.

    I know. And his parents too. Gods.

    A few months ago there was another incident where a young woman's car went into a body of water. She called 911 but they didn't get to her in time.

    He did, he told them the parking lot at the school where he was. On his 2nd call, he told them the vehicle type but they still didn't find him in time.

    They are faster than greased lightning in my home town, a small rural shithole with one traffic light and a 20mph speed limit.

    We don't have any cops where we live. They have to come up from Marquette. The rare times we've seen one driving by was during tourist season. Maybe to them it's called "Revenue Enhancement Season." lol

    what's great about a cell phone is that the server has to let you dial 911 with no service minutes on the cell phone. Might be the same with LL's, dunno.

    You don't think GPS should be able to locate the government housing where you live?
