Related: About this forumTV fans call 911 after cable outage leaves 'Breaking Bad,' Yankees-Sox fans in the dark
We got several 911 calls last night from at least three individuals inconvenienced because they lost their Cablevision, Lt. Jim Perez of the Fairfield Police Department told The Post today.
In one recording, a dispatcher answers Fairfield 911, and a woman says, Hi. Im ... Im just trying to figure out whats going on, we have no TV!
The annoyed dispatcher interrupts and says Maam, 911 is for a life-threatening emergency and the woman answers, I know that. I know that.
The dispatcher then demands, Is this a life-threatening emergency? and the woman replies: No, were just trying to find out whats going on? Is it a life-threatening time?
