“I guess we’ve got a pilot in our house, and he says he got ejected.” That was the 911 call received in Charleston County, South Carolina, after an F-35B Lightning II fighter jet crashed Sunday, according to audio released by the county government.

911 operators MAGA hat is on too tight
cutting circulation to the brain.
"aircraft failure"Just a regular F-35 🤣
Collateral damage= Us people
And Humanity
Unnecessary very big military eating billions of dollars of Us people; many people living on the streets; Us government even not helping any people in need of health care but wasting Tax payers money on this military toys; one f35 costs almost 100 million dollars; pity
Why is she wasting time with her own curiosities…
The dispatcher needs a quality control even more than the F35 program does.
“He just fell out of the sky… literally!”
Would you like to extend your aircraft's warranty?
The dispatcher is worse than trying to call the customer service at Ali baba
911 trying to fill in a form not at all made for this
What caused the fall? Pilot, “my ejecting caused it”.
Airhead 911 operator. Reading off the handbook
Either her training was absolutely horrible or she should simply find another career. Imagine if this was an actual life threatening emergency. She sounds like a nice person and all, but emergency dispatching doesn't seem to be her thing. Has trouble listening and comprehending.
Very funny. He said Is there a jet crash report? Not yet she answered. He said I don’t know were the airplane went. It sounds like a pub conversation after few drinks 😅😅at midnight. I have a pilot in my house….
Who is hiring these 911 operators? That lady needs to be replaced with somebody more qualified t handle high stress
Dispatcher: “How far did you fall”
Pilot:🤦🏻♂️
I know they're just trying to do their job but they do sound in competent
Its just like Tom cruise in top gun
That dispatcher either needs to be fired or be completely retrained. She's as dense as a brick.
Can you please send an ambulance ? Yes sir just a minute, I have to read page 2 of the manual to you first. I'm in the military, ok sir, Thats on page 4, let me read page 3 first….
The dispatcher asked the appropriate questions. The pilot is unable to answer simple questions such as age, and if there is bleeding and what body parts hurt aside from his back.
I guess the guy must have been in shock to be unable to answer rhose questions. The questions the dispatcher asks helps send appropriate help. Remember that if you are calling for yourself or another person .
Im with the 911 operator. The dudes fine, ambulance? The military needs come get him and figure out where the plane went. Think the pilot messed up bigtime if the plane didnt crash near where he bailed.
Chat GPT would solve the problem.
At various times I've listened to recordings of victims trying to communicate with the emergency dispatcher's and I've been a little amazed at the slowness and kinds of questions they ask. It's no different in this incident, the dispatcher doesn't seem to get it. I guess they're required to ask a specific sequence of questions, depending on the scenario, but if she was listening more carefully she could have grasped the situation better and responded more competently. I guess the good thing is, she dispatched the first responders prior to asking the questions.
Useless 911 operators.
Who is training these operators wow talk about clueless
A good and brave pilot would have stayed with the plane until he was away from populated areas. Or is the whole thing a hoax?
He free fell to the ground from 2,000 and lived to tell about it. What a champ! -Dispatch 😂
“What caused the fall?” Well I was out taking a walk on the wings when I tripped on a missile and fell off.
Everything is clear from the first time is stated by the home owner/caller. That is some really unprofessional approach from the dispatcher asking for multiple times what is happening.
She was asking from how how high "the patient" has fallen from as in from a ladder, roof, maybe even elderly person from a bed and the answer "2000 feet" really make her erm… even more confused haha.
Lol the patient
You can tell she's relieved once she finally finds the correct script to follow. LOL reminds me of Idiocracy scene when Not Sure goes in for "hospital visit" smh.. XD
This municipality might consider outsourcing their 9/11 dispatching.
I guess SC 911 operators will now receive new cards with default questions to read from for people who eject from their aircraft.
She needs a different job!!!
I have the same problem with drive through orders, after giving them exact details of my order they start asking questions about what I want
Man we have fallen so far down the rabbit hole with common sense. My god our 911 system is a ghost of what it once was.
' ….and the injured party's hometown and mother's maiden name is?'
To all the backseat drivers:
Dispatchers have certain scripts to follow when it comes to medical issues. That's how they're trained.
Literal scripts: ask this, if answer is this, move on to this. Ejecting from a fighter jet is not one of those. So her logical mind understands what she's hearing, but to proceed with the call, she has to pick the appropriate corresponding track. While obviously also being a little surprised at what she's hearing!
She obviously categorized this as a Fall – now, remember geniuses, "out of an airplane" is not one of those options. An air crash is a whole other scenario, but it doesn't tend to accommodate a one on one discussion with a survivor, as safely ejecting/parachuting are NOT the norm, but the exception – so it then proceeds to ask how far to determine severity: down a few stairs, off a 2nd floor balcony, etc.
Admittedly, "from 2,000 feet" is probably going to to snag her analytical mind because you don't expect to hear it. She's trying to adapt to a situation, as a 911 operator, that she LITERALLY could never have imagined, and was not trained for, and none of her coworkers around her were prepared for or had (most likely) ever dealt with either.
Also, the patient (Pilot) is obviously present, conscious, speaking clearly, so this also lowers (to some degree) the "OMG! OMG! OMG!" factor down to "Okay, let's get help on the way".
There's also a very real likelihood, although a very tiny percentage, that this Operator is wondering if this is some kind of false call. Yet she still asks the questions, as best as her script will allow.
Frankly, that her pauses were as few and as brief as they were is still a testament to her abilities to deal and continue. It's possible, if I had to offer any criticism, that choosing an Accident question flow might have resulted in a smoother discussion. But then I'd be backseat driving too.
If you can't do the job, then don't pretend you're experts on it. The massive collection of negative commentors are Dunning–Kruger'ing the heck out of this. Go look it up, you seem to have the spare time.
For those confused by the questions, it’s a program that dispatchers used called ProQA apart of EMD and EFD response systems, these are standardized questions that result it a response level and PAI or instructions for the caller to prepare for EMS or FD.
Jet pilots have to be the most mentally stable people on the planet. I mean, they fly jeta yuh know.
Would be interesting to find out if the Piolet was sacked after downing a $80,000,000.00 aircraft. I assume his pyscological pain was greater than any other he may have had. He must have been sweating bullets thinking of what he was going to tell his Commanders. Hopefully for him it was a clear technical failure because ejecting is always a two side sword to do for the Airforce and surely his own health.
1:43
Pilot: Has there been a report of an airplane crash?
Dispatcher: I have not seen any come up yet
Pilot: Well, pretty sure there's gonna be one.
Emergency was otw and she was just asking standart protocol questions, bizarre maybe but so was this whole story. I find it more bizarre that military relies in 911 comms for such emergencies 😮
Are these questions from 911 dispatch necessary at this circumstance and pilot pleading for emergency medical assistance?
I know dispatchers have a very difficult job, but this was horrible. Imagine if the pilot was severely injured, the amount of time wasted with these stupid questions could have been detrimental under more life threatening circumstances.
910-1/2 operator, actually call went like this, <big gulp slurp>, what's your emergency, sluuuuuuurp>, ……, what's your phone number, sluuuuuuurp, wait a second, I've got to get this ice cube moved from my straw, sluuuuuuurp…..
Still confused. So the pilot ejects for? The plane kept flying for 80 miles. Sounds more like pilot failure.
Fake. No plane Same day Ukraine was gifted “Swedish mystery fighter”
