Discussing racial attacks with students and help finding information on the 'piataia grafa'

[Sarah Hurst]

Yes, the problem of bystanders has been observed in many countries, I agree,
and very commonly in China.

However, a different phenomenon has also been observed more recently. Now
that nearly everyone in the West has a cell phone, there are far more calls
to 9/11 when an incident happens. This causes the problem of jamming the
lines and making it more confusing for the emergency dispatchers. It
happened a couple of weeks ago here in Anchorage when numerous shots were
fired at a touch football game. Second-highest volume of emergency calls
ever recorded here (the first was when a plane crashed in the city).
