Every time I have ever called 911 (always for someone else), I was put on
hold for 3-5 minutes before someone even answered. Not terribly useful
in a *real* emergency, and certainly not something I would trust my life
with. Any criminal threat to your life would likely have come and gone
before they even answer the phone; by the time they respond they will
either be sending someone to take the report or to collect the body.
