Pretty amazing, you'll have to read the transcript

Emergency Hotline 911 receives a 'pizza order' from a lady who needs help | XOLXOL

Quote:
A woman who is a victim of domestic violence called 911 for help but was unable to directly discuss of what was happening to her so she used a code-like conversation by starting to order a pizza.

Fortunately, the dispatcher did not take her call lightly, instead he became intuitive and analyzed her situation very carefully.

Some brains on both sides there. Thankfully the woman decided to 'order pizza' and thankfully the 911 dispatcher understood what was going on.

I read a post in a comment made by the dispatcher. He almost did hang up because he thought it was another prank call. I'm glad she was able to communicate with him. He saved the day!

That was a wonderful Computer Programmer who set up the systems to do the data mining to have a phone number back trace thru the Past Caller database look up to provide the information.

I saw this on my facebook feed the other day but I often wonder how many of these stories are made up considering they come from websites with the most random names, like "xolxol"

Agreed. IT people are often the unsung heroes.
