An Emergency Call Centre worker in London has been dismissed from
her job, much to the dismay of colleagues who are reportedly unhappy
with her treatment. It seems a male caller dialed 999 from a mobile
phone stating, “I am depressed and lying here on a railway track. I
am waiting for the train to come so I can finally meet my Maker.”
Apparently “remain calm and stay on the line” was not considered to
be an appropriate or correct response…
