I've called the local hotline and done community service of this nature. The idea is that you need to let someone feel safe enough with their thoughts that they will open up and get these things out. Very often that's all they need in the moment. To feel heard. The idea is to get them thinking differently and you can't do that if you feed them what they expect "don't do it you have so much to live for!" Obviously they don't think so if they've come to this point. You need to listen to what's going on in their head before you can do anything about it... And that's not really the hotlines job. They're not therapists, they're just someone who listens and gets the caller to consider things. That being said I don't agree with it being a rule for someone who is actively dying.
@@hypan0vaULTRA I’ve also been suicidal many times and do still struggle with mental health but you usually don’t call the hotline unless you want to be talked down.
honestly the dad calling about daughter's period i respect. does he know what's going on he does not, does he know who can help/give him information whichever's needed he does! should he have probably learned about periods before, yeah, but in the scenario he was in there are far worse things to do than call 911.
@@firebirdlightning6710 Very true. My dad was so much more help than my mom. When I first started getting it I was so bad for forgetting when it should happen. A few times my dad actually had to remind me. 😅
i made it to 37:15. for my own health I cannot continue watching, nor do i intend to come back to finish. As horrid as what happens in this video is, it is amazing how well you handle it with such sympathy and care. I hope you and everyone who posted in that thread come out for the better soon enough.
Former dispatcher, I have a couple of calls that I remember, but one I think about a lot is my uncle. The first call of my shift was my aunt calling. My uncle had passed away in his sleep. My aunt was too upset to notice it was me on the phone. I offered to go through CPR with her but she didn't want to. Had to go on with the rest of my 12 hour shift known that my uncle was dead. Worsted part? When I finally got home my dad, his older brother, had no idea that he had passed. No one in the family bothered calling to let him know. Got me thinking about how someone could pass away and their family could have no idea even hours later.
i can only assume it was grief but i cannot imagine not telling someone their brother had died sending you and your dad all the best im sorry for your loss
Story 47 makes me wonder how much the victim’s family knew. Part of me wants to hope they were blissfully ignorant to what was happening but part of me is cynical enough to believe that they had at least an idea what was happening yet chose to do nothing.
Had a friend who was an ambulance driver. This was the call that made her give up her faith: Police and firefighters were called after very big and powerful man had a psychotic break and was attacking his wife and infant child. When she arrived the man had already been subdued and put in the car. One of the cops was just sitting on the curb in a daze with what looked like vomit all over the front of his uniform. He just kept muttering to himself "He hit me with the baby." In the incident the man had caved its head in. When police arrived he started swinging it by the ankles using it as a club on the officers. The stuff on the first cop was grey matter. I cant remember whether it was other police or the firefighters who lost it, but one had to fight back the other from pulling the man back out of the car and beating him to death.
Hot take, maybe we shouldn't have stopped the dude from getting beat too fast. That was so disgusting. My jaw physically dropped. How much jail time did he get?
In my experience with some elderly and mentally ill people, a lot of times it's to alleviate extreme loneliness. They think it will be easy to care for them but because of health or mental issues they quickly become overwhelmed. The sad part is many of these people are searching for companionship because their condition has already driven away the people in their lives. Animals won't leave them.
That is going to be the new normal if you have a ban on abortion. It gets worse when the dead foetus starts decomposing in the womb, causes sepsis and possibly destroys the fertility of the mother, before abortion is allowed - putting the mother into mortal danger. Expect to see more of that.
it's prob one of the most immoral, most traumatic, most exhausting things i can think of a mother having to do tbh i cannot even begin to fathom how they managed to get through an unimaginable ordeal like that
Former dispatcher at a University. I won't go into details but someone died. I can't forget. What I want to share is that it was so bad it changed how I trained new Dispatchers. "You can take the same kind of call a 100 times but the stars, planets align and the 101st call will get to you. Don't let it fester. Seek out someone you trust, councilor, if you are religious your religious leader.". I couldn't let new dispatchers go through what I had. I had to give them a fighting chance.
I found my MIL dead in her house. She was draped over a large foot stool. Called 911 and told the operator that I had found my MIL dead. Operator insisted I start CPR. I explained that it was too late for that, but she insisted. I managed to get the body off the stool and into the floor. I explained that her face and knees were black and her jaw was locked with her tongue out and the operator still insisted that I start CPR. Luckily the EMTs showed up. I know the operator was just doing her job, but I found that to be extremely traumatic. I was trying so hard to stay calm , even though I was crying, and explain that she was undoubtedly gone, but she just kept insisting. I even got that “so, you are refusing to render aid?” Question. For heavens sake, rigor and livor where setting in and this woman was guilting me!? I have great respect for first responders of ALL kinds, but some people just have no common sense.
That happened to me too with my grandmother. I just replied to the question “Yes, she has been for hours” and that was it until the EMTs showed up and wanted to try CPR but we once again told them not to. I explained myself to the EMT and he told me not to worry and that they are obligated to ask and try to do so, but they understood the situation
Story 22 makes sense. I can hear perfectly well (so well I usually use earplugs for daily life) but use relay services for the deaf a lot, because I'm level 3 autistic and can't always talk on the phone. That caller probably had similar disabilities.
I'm not with emergency services, but I heard my girlfriend commit self game over with a handgun while I'm frantically trying to talk her out of it. I was 18 at the time. We had gotten off the phone briefly, at which time I had already called 911. The first paramedics arrived about 2 minutes after I heard the sound of the shot, followed by wet, labored breathing and a continuous splash as she bled very heavily from the new hole in her skull. It took me better than a decade to realize that I had pretty serious PTSD from it, and I can promise that my life is not currently what it would have been, had that event not occurred.
Do NOT use the pizza order thing. It's used as a prank call way too often to be effective. Texting 911 is an option now if you cannot talk for whatever reason.
That depends on your location. Cell phone companies are required to support 911 texting, but only about 54% of 911 call centers support it, so be aware that if you text 911, you may get an automated response telling you that it's not supported in your area
My cousin worked a trial shift as a 999 call handler here in the UK in her late teens. She was unfortunate enough to have someone call in to say their husband had hung himself just a short time into that shift. She was allowed a 15 minute break to collect her thoughts then get back to work. Unsurprisingly, she opted not to pursue that as a career.
Someone in my town called 911 to report an animal being potentially abused as it was yelling and yelping. Well... the cops got there and? There was a mentally disabled 12 year old boy tied to a long dog lead in the backyard because his tantrums were too much to handle. I used to listen to a police scanner occasionally, and that was the craziest one I heard.
I look forward to your videos every day, thank you for uploading again😁, and on the days you don’t I just watch loads of your old videos, in doesn’t matter how ,any times I watch them it’s still good,
Story 26: I’m happy that lady was ok and managed to defend herself, if she didn’t have a gun who knows what could have happened, she could have gotten seriously injured or worse.

Out in the real world, I am an ICU nurse, PRN to my rural country ED. Seen a lot of people die. But when my Dad died from the terminal lung cancer, I had to call and report the death, get someone out to pronounce him, etc. Even though I listened to his heart stop, you still have to follow the rules. I kept it together for about a minute, and then lost it. I just wailed. That poor 911 operator. I was just screaming, cussing cancer, etc. Thank you for what you do.
1:05:12 I wonder how many people realize these parents in all likelyhood had to go through this because the doctors/hospital wasn't allowed to perform an abortion. Because despite the babies being dead, that's what ending the pregnancy by medical means would be classified as. It wouldn't matter that there was no life, and that the bodies could literily poison the mother if her body didn't terminate the pregnancy, there would be nothing that could be done because the parents and/or the medical staff would be charged with committing a crime. All because some holier than thou *[Language that will likely get me banned]* want to force suffering just because a sperm and egg combined .
If they knew that the baby was not alive, they could have requested induced labor. That would have been an option given to them. A sperm and your brain combined.
Hey everyone, just wanted to say a huge thanks for keeping it real and not relying on AI voices or reuploading videos. It’s clear you guys put a lot of time and effort into your content, and it really shows. Keep up the great work!
33:59 as a victim of SA myself who never got justice, this one hit very close to home because it is seriously fucked up how these horrible people can go free. It pisses me off too, sparked.
Every infant CPR called gave me chills. Both the ones that lived and dead were a different kind of "That could have been me" feeling. Born premature. Lungs not fully developed. I went blue so many times my parents had to learn infant CPR.
When I went to get an abortion they said " Do you want us to tell you if it is twins?" I said, why, what does that matter? They replied that if it was twins, they could not preform an abortion. I sort of smirked and said that they'd have to tell me it was twins anyways if that were the case. I never really understood it but hearing the call about the person who had to carry twin stillborns full term makes me think that possibly aborting twins might be a bigger risk to the woman's life or something? Dunno, just brought back memories of what I was told.
the rather anonymous and strict help lines would have saved me from so much fking pain. i was calling about a sexually abusive household and it fking backfired so hard. i almost got arrested because i couldn't stop panicking due to the fking police randomly showing up even tho i was not a damn threat to myself or anyone as i was literally just getting ready to go to a friend's house for a while.. everything is fine now but that made me so angry at help lines.. i cannot bring myself to use them anymore.
Hats awful. Could have been done by mistake or at least with best intention... But I'm sorry you are one of the many let down by 'professional people'. I'm glad your doing OK now
Yeah I can’t use them anymore because I know they can and will call the pd i already know if I was going to do it I wouldn’t tell anyone I’d send one text to let someone know where to find me shut my phone off and boom
As someone whose been on the edge before, and an advocate for mental health, I would never call suicide selfish and I dont think I need to explain why, but in story 8, while I understand the need for comfort or what not, the person who called was so unfair to that volunteer. As someone who was suicidal, we know how traumatising discovering or having to witness a suicide can be. They werent selfish for wanting to commit, of course not, they're in pain, but to force someone to witness it (even just over the phone) was horrible of them.
I'm a personal auto claims adjuster. After just 2 fatality losses, I know my heart is wayyyy too fragile to take 911 calls. If yoy listen to 911 calls like i do and some of the horrific things they are required to stay on the phone through...i quit and I haven't even applied for. I've had several memorable calls, be they hilarious or horrific, sometimes these ppl and their stories just stay with you.
POV: when you're so addicted to true crime stuff, you remember hearing the 911 call that's mentioned in this video. I'm gonng go tickle a puppy now or something...
It's hard to listen to these, but the ones for self termination help me to stay alive even when I don't want to do anything anymore. Honestly, since I was 12 years old and learned what it was when my cousin used his father's service revolver to end himself at the age of 16, I knew what happened to the people you leave behind. It's kept my brother and I both alive through abuse, depression and long undiagnosed mental illnesses. My brother has agreed to stick around until our mom passes, but has no promises past that. When he slips, I ruthlessly remind him that his daughter will blame herself. When I slip, my husband is there, but the knowledge of what I would leave behind, the pain and guilt the people who love me will experience if I take the quick way out...that has kept me alive when I wanted nothing more than to stop.
Story 44 As soon as I heard Utöya my heart just dropped! I’m from Sweden so I know a lot about that event… It made me tear up right away, It’s so terrible what happened! 😔
What happened in Utöya was Anders Breivik. He's a Norweigian neo-Nazi who planted a van bomb in Oslo that killed 8, intending to blow up the office of the then- Prime Minister & injuring over 200 people, and then attacked the youth camp of the Workers' Youth League, killing 69 young people. He said he did it because the centre left Labour Party government needed to be punished for allowing what he believed to be a Muslim takeover of Norway through immigration. Classic neo-Nazi stuff, aka "the great replacement".
@conniedavis1486 It would be best if you just Googled it. Most people who do such things hope to obtain the sickest sort of fame. I refuse to contribute to that. It won't be difficult to find the story. I promise
I’ll never understand people who commit in front of their loved ones. Most of the time suicides are impulsive and there’s nothing anyone could do to prevent it, but doing it in front of people you care about knowing you’re going to change the course of their life forever baffles me. I have someone in my life who did something just like this and I’ll never understand why he chose to do it. Alcohol probably played a huge part but he loved his brother to pieces. I still feel for his brother as it has shattered me to just know he died. I couldn’t imagine living with the imagery of seeing your brother shoot himself in the face.
I asked this question to my friend's mom (911 dispatcher) back in highschool for a paper I was writing. She said "I had a man call and say 'sent a coroner to this address I'm gonna jump ' responded 'no sir don't do that is there anyone you want me to call for you' and he never answered, he already jumped as soon as he ended his statement to me." She said she didn't expect it because all the suicide calls she got the person just wanted to vent and first responders always arrived before it could escalate. This time, the guy just said what he needed to do so his body could be removed before someone stumbled upon it.. that story still haunts me... Can't imagine what that guy was going through...
59, that's going to happen a lot in America now since Roe v Wade was overturned, my brothers partner's daughter in law had a baby die in her late term, she had to wait a week but not full term thank God in Australia
Watching these stories and then getting a add for babies or lottery tickets has got to be one of the most emotionally jarring things I've ever went through. EDIT. Also story 92, while I understand this isn't exactly a empathetic response the moment I heard that the dad let the kid drag the gun behind him barrel up I literally screamed. Letting a little kid handle a gun is already stupid, letting them do THAT while you're right there is frustrating to a maddening level. That poor kid died because that dad was a freaking moron.
The first one is honestly one of the worst because it's not recognized for what it is. It's passed over and that's intentional. That is a first responder pulling out the lighthearted, socially-appropriate answer that gets people talking about socially-appropriate things. Bashing on the "stupid people relations" aspect of the job is relatable and easily ends up on a customer service and stupid-people-are-stupid tangent. That's what a non-answer looks like. That's what hiding sounds like. The responder chose that answer specifically *because* they didn't want to or couldn't get into the true trauma the question is likely to dredge up. The happy ones are also intentional, but it's a different kind. They're almost practicing DBT, reversing emotions, a therapy technique to avoid leaning into negative emotions and spiraling. When you're sad you watch a comedy movie etc. They're focusing on happy ending or humorous calls. It's a legitimate self-regulation method.
One of my online best friends passed nearly 2 months ago from an accident at his home and these just make me wonder if his family called 911 in case they could get him help and what was going on at that time. If they did call for help, what was that call like? He unfortunately passed instantly when the accident happened. I miss him so much. He was such a good guy.
Bf had a mom calls n says she is throwing her baby out the window 3 stories high, begged her not too lady says just pick up body she heard the baby cries as he is thrown.
82: holy shit... that sounds specially horrifying. 91: Great parenting there /s. Should be charge with child endangerment and involuntary manslaighter. Who TF gaves a charged weapon to a 6-year-old? hunters are indeed nuts. 97: Can't feel sympathy for him honestly. Actions have consequences.
This is among the darkest and most serious vids on this channel and yet "the other half of the same banana" is up there with the hardest times I've laughed at any of them.
I was Listening to this and one of the calls stood out, it was one of my old friends. The description fit all to well, she committed suicide a few years ago…
The self-unaliving stories are really hard to listen to since I used to think like that, but it's also an amazing reminder of how far I've come and the fact that I survived my own depression. One of these stories could've been mine and thinking about that is going to haunt me.
For story 47. All I can think of is a scene from Boondock Saints. Where Rocco beats that guy's head in with a cue ball screaming "Sick F**k!" Over and over again whenever I hear about people like that father.
Hi! Not an operator but someone who had to call 911 one call ill never forget making is when my mom had a stroke i was 14 and this was 4 years ago but the call still stays in my mind ^^
Holy shit i was diagnosed with vocal cord disfunction in 1999 at age 16. Acid reflux had scarred snd inflamed my vocal cords and id randomly not be able to breathe. Scary af
Story 44: when I saw the year and country this was from I wondered, but when you mentioned Utøya I knew immediately what this call was about. So many young people 😢
I hope I end up the funny call list. I called in after a big storm the next day, I see a massive tree down and powerlines down. I stood on my back porch and called 911 and at the whats the emergency, I said "um i dont know if I call you but I have a line down and a tree down." I know how dangerous downed lines are taught but people from the electric company. They never told us who is more important to call since anyone near a downed line and box can be in danger, I was directed to call the electric company. The best part, I have an overhanging roof edge and by luck I was standing in the only dry spot and ended the call saying, "I think I should go in. I am standing in the only dry spot." had an arc around my back door that was dry and still have a big dead spot in my grass due to pole falling.
51:14 jesus christ, that invoked fear into mean when he said that. It is the pure, but calm rage he has in his voice that makes this claim all the true. This scared me much more than it should.
49:30 (story beginning). I would hate to have to survive that. I complain about my own life enough, but some things are too much. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I HAVEN'T REACHED THE VIDEO'S HALF WAY POINT?! oy, it reminds me of ol' and new war stories (my brother was in the military, my sister answers 911 calls and my my grandfather (Former chief of near 7M metropolis R.I.P. ) all have horror stories. Makes my S.A. look like a joke. Oh, and my mom stabbed a cop at 16. We are a diverse family.
isn’t a 911 call, but it’s similar to the 2nd story! when my mom was young 4-6, she was with my grandpa’s mom (my great grandma) and while she was on the phone with my grandma she fell and had a stroke in front of my mom. my mom then picked up the phone to tell my grandma that “grandma fell and was asleep”. seems so scary to me but it doesn’t seem to affect my mom so much.
I dont remember this but my nanny told be i overdosed on medication in London and my.mum took 7 hrs to ring anambulance after realising i was unconciouss and had been for hours
My brother's roommate is a 911 dispatcher, and he got a call to their apartment for a domestic dispute and possible assult with a vehicle. Of course, hearing his own address as the location of the incident was startling for a moment, until the caller said who the people involved were. It was a man and woman who have a very toxic and volatile relationship going on and have had the cops called on them multiple times. They were in the street in front of my brother's apartment. She was in her vehicle, and he was standing on the passenger side, drunk, punching the window and screaming at her, with his other hand gripping the luggage rack bar on top of her vehicle. She drove away while he was still holding it, which caused him to fall, and she ended up running over his leg. She drove around the block and came back. By this time, he was standing again and limped to the car and started punching the window again. She drove away again, and he fell again. Not sure if she ran him over that time, though. They both ended up getting arrested, and he had to be taken to the hospital for a broken leg.
What game is being played in the background? Edit: I found it! It’s called Gris! I know it’s just background visuals for what is essentially a podcast, but the game is so pretty that I want to play it. This is not to detract from any of the stories or the content of this video, which are all fascinating, sad, and harrowing.
"Here, let me help you hang up the phone" SIR DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH? 1:05:38 - If this happened in the last few years, it was probably because of abortion bans. Politicians don't care if the mother is a victim, or if the fetus is already dead, or if carrying to term would kill one or the other. A baby is not allowed to be removed until the 9 month mark. The doctor probably felt like garbage about it too. 1:12:15 - Imagine being so constipated that you're scared enough to call 911 and you get hung up on. Fecal impaction is an actual thing people go to the ER for, why would you try to charge someone for "wasting emergency services"? It's humiliating enough just calling to admit you can't push one out. Woman could have caused a rectal prolapse (basically, pushed out part of her intestine).
@1:32:30 Panic attack. Almost definitely a panic attack. Either having a time and it was the last straw like the narrator said, or possibly a trigger for a panic disorder. The extended calming time and the gas attendant calling for her being unfit to drive is consistent with it. It doesn't take much. The trigger is rarely obvious. I have abuse in my history and if I were having one of my worse days with it, the free gas would have made me cry, too.
Listened to this entire video at work, and instead of making me even more depressed it really gave me a humbling respect and awareness for not only dispatchers, but anyone who has an ear to the pulse of something so human and harrowing. I don't think id ever be strong enough.

Not being able to tell someone not to commit suicide when you work on a suicide hotline is one of the dumbest rules I have ever heard of
i agree
to an extent, i get what they're saying but i don't think it would necessarily "talk them off the ledge" so to speak

Former dispatcher at a University. I won't go into details but someone died. I can't forget. What I want to share is that it was so bad it changed how I trained new Dispatchers. "You can take the same kind of call a 100 times but the stars, planets align and the 101st call will get to you. Don't let it fester. Seek out someone you trust, councilor, if you are religious your religious leader.". I couldn't let new dispatchers go through what I had. I had to give them a fighting chance.
I found my MIL dead in her house. She was draped over a large foot stool. Called 911 and told the operator that I had found my MIL dead. Operator insisted I start CPR. I explained that it was too late for that, but she insisted. I managed to get the body off the stool and into the floor. I explained that her face and knees were black and her jaw was locked with her tongue out and the operator still insisted that I start CPR. Luckily the EMTs showed up. I know the operator was just doing her job, but I found that to be extremely traumatic. I was trying so hard to stay calm , even though I was crying, and explain that she was undoubtedly gone, but she just kept insisting. I even got that “so, you are refusing to render aid?” Question. For heavens sake, rigor and livor where setting in and this woman was guilting me!? I have great respect for first responders of ALL kinds, but some people just have no common sense.
That happened to me too with my grandmother. I just replied to the question “Yes, she has been for hours” and that was it until the EMTs showed up and wanted to try CPR but we once again told them not to. I explained myself to the EMT and he told me not to worry and that they are obligated to ask and try to do so, but they understood the situation
I got so excited when I saw you uploaded! Love your vids! That's for not using an AI voice, it makes the video so much better
Minutes before shift starts
Life saver
Story 22 makes sense. I can hear perfectly well (so well I usually use earplugs for daily life) but use relay services for the deaf a lot, because I'm level 3 autistic and can't always talk on the phone. That caller probably had similar disabilities.
He explained. They figured out what caller it was. She is deaf but just really annoyed by the neighborhood children
I didn't cry. There is just happens to be something in my eyes.
when i hear this guys voice it’s like the same relief i feel when dentists do the rinse outs with the lil hose 😌
I'm not with emergency services, but I heard my girlfriend commit self game over with a handgun while I'm frantically trying to talk her out of it. I was 18 at the time. We had gotten off the phone briefly, at which time I had already called 911. The first paramedics arrived about 2 minutes after I heard the sound of the shot, followed by wet, labored breathing and a continuous splash as she bled very heavily from the new hole in her skull.
It took me better than a decade to realize that I had pretty serious PTSD from it, and I can promise that my life is not currently what it would have been, had that event not occurred.
Do NOT use the pizza order thing. It's used as a prank call way too often to be effective. Texting 911 is an option now if you cannot talk for whatever reason.
That depends on your location. Cell phone companies are required to support 911 texting, but only about 54% of 911 call centers support it, so be aware that if you text 911, you may get an automated response telling you that it's not supported in your area
Not everywhere yet, though, so do your research first, and preferably right now, BEFORE you need that info!
I saw the other day on a news page this worked to save a lady being... Graped..
1:26:39 missed the perfect opportunity to say monkey business instead of banana incident😭
My cousin worked a trial shift as a 999 call handler here in the UK in her late teens. She was unfortunate enough to have someone call in to say their husband had hung himself just a short time into that shift. She was allowed a 15 minute break to collect her thoughts then get back to work. Unsurprisingly, she opted not to pursue that as a career.
I appreciate all your work. Thanks for no AI voices. Keep it up !!❤️❤️❤️
Someone in my town called 911 to report an animal being potentially abused as it was yelling and yelping. Well... the cops got there and? There was a mentally disabled 12 year old boy tied to a long dog lead in the backyard because his tantrums were too much to handle. I used to listen to a police scanner occasionally, and that was the craziest one I heard.
....What is wrong with some people...
I look forward to your videos every day, thank you for uploading again😁, and on the days you don’t I just watch loads of your old videos, in doesn’t matter how ,any times I watch them it’s still good,
2 HOURS!?!? u guys must love me
Story 48: that man's guardian angel needs a raise. 😮
Love the 2hour videos, I listen at work so it’s perfect the longer they are the better
Story 26: I’m happy that lady was ok and managed to defend herself, if she didn’t have a gun who knows what could have happened, she could have gotten seriously injured or worse.
Wow! 2 hours! Awesome! What an AMAZING surprise! You should do more of these SUPER long vids! Perfect for listening to while working! Keep up the great work, guys! 😊🥰
Out in the real world, I am an ICU nurse, PRN to my rural country ED. Seen a lot of people die. But when my Dad died from the terminal lung cancer, I had to call and report the death, get someone out to pronounce him, etc. Even though I listened to his heart stop, you still have to follow the rules. I kept it together for about a minute, and then lost it. I just wailed. That poor 911 operator. I was just screaming, cussing cancer, etc. Thank you for what you do.
1:05:12 I wonder how many people realize these parents in all likelyhood had to go through this because the doctors/hospital wasn't allowed to perform an abortion. Because despite the babies being dead, that's what ending the pregnancy by medical means would be classified as.
It wouldn't matter that there was no life, and that the bodies could literily poison the mother if her body didn't terminate the pregnancy, there would be nothing that could be done because the parents and/or the medical staff would be charged with committing a crime. All because some holier than thou *[Language that will likely get me banned]* want to force suffering just because a sperm and egg combined .
If they knew that the baby was not alive, they could have requested induced labor. That would have been an option given to them.
A sperm and your brain combined.
TWO HOURS? YOURE TREATING US TODAY. Also my favorite narrator hehe
Hey everyone, just wanted to say a huge thanks for keeping it real and not relying on AI voices or reuploading videos. It’s clear you guys put a lot of time and effort into your content, and it really shows. Keep up the great work!
33:59 as a victim of SA myself who never got justice, this one hit very close to home because it is seriously fucked up how these horrible people can go free. It pisses me off too, sparked.
The July 22nd attacks in Utøya remains one of the largest mass shootings in Europe in modern times. The fact it happened in Norway too, is scary.
Damn, 2 whole hours of content?! You're putting in WORK, my guy!
Every infant CPR called gave me chills. Both the ones that lived and dead were a different kind of "That could have been me" feeling. Born premature. Lungs not fully developed. I went blue so many times my parents had to learn infant CPR.
When I went to get an abortion they said " Do you want us to tell you if it is twins?" I said, why, what does that matter? They replied that if it was twins, they could not preform an abortion. I sort of smirked and said that they'd have to tell me it was twins anyways if that were the case. I never really understood it but hearing the call about the person who had to carry twin stillborns full term makes me think that possibly aborting twins might be a bigger risk to the woman's life or something? Dunno, just brought back memories of what I was told.
the rather anonymous and strict help lines would have saved me from so much fking pain. i was calling about a sexually abusive household and it fking backfired so hard. i almost got arrested because i couldn't stop panicking due to the fking police randomly showing up even tho i was not a damn threat to myself or anyone as i was literally just getting ready to go to a friend's house for a while.. everything is fine now but that made me so angry at help lines.. i cannot bring myself to use them anymore.
Hats awful. Could have been done by mistake or at least with best intention... But I'm sorry you are one of the many let down by 'professional people'. I'm glad your doing OK now
Yeah I can’t use them anymore because I know they can and will call the pd i already know if I was going to do it I wouldn’t tell anyone I’d send one text to let someone know where to find me shut my phone off and boom
no you published this right as i was about to go to bed , i am going to be very tired tomorrow (at school)
I listened to this straight.... thanks for this video... for the stories...God have mercy on us 🙏 abd help us 🙏🙏
Undersparked you’re my favorite reddit story TH-camr for not using a text to speech and uploading old vids
As someone whose been on the edge before, and an advocate for mental health, I would never call suicide selfish and I dont think I need to explain why, but in story 8, while I understand the need for comfort or what not, the person who called was so unfair to that volunteer. As someone who was suicidal, we know how traumatising discovering or having to witness a suicide can be. They werent selfish for wanting to commit, of course not, they're in pain, but to force someone to witness it (even just over the phone) was horrible of them.
I'm a personal auto claims adjuster. After just 2 fatality losses, I know my heart is wayyyy too fragile to take 911 calls. If yoy listen to 911 calls like i do and some of the horrific things they are required to stay on the phone through...i quit and I haven't even applied for. I've had several memorable calls, be they hilarious or horrific, sometimes these ppl and their stories just stay with you.
Holy cow. This is a huge upload.
POV: when you're so addicted to true crime stuff, you remember hearing the 911 call that's mentioned in this video. I'm gonng go tickle a puppy now or something...
Story 59 is going to be a normal event for people in the US until further notice.
It's hard to listen to these, but the ones for self termination help me to stay alive even when I don't want to do anything anymore. Honestly, since I was 12 years old and learned what it was when my cousin used his father's service revolver to end himself at the age of 16, I knew what happened to the people you leave behind. It's kept my brother and I both alive through abuse, depression and long undiagnosed mental illnesses. My brother has agreed to stick around until our mom passes, but has no promises past that. When he slips, I ruthlessly remind him that his daughter will blame herself. When I slip, my husband is there, but the knowledge of what I would leave behind, the pain and guilt the people who love me will experience if I take the quick way out...that has kept me alive when I wanted nothing more than to stop.
Thanks for you the vids! The stories are always interesting.
20:45
Alright, half of me is going "what a twist!" The other half is confusedly desperate for clarification.
Story 44
As soon as I heard Utöya my heart just dropped!
I’m from Sweden so I know a lot about that event…
It made me tear up right away, It’s so terrible what happened! 😔
Um if u dont want to answer thats fine but could y tell me what thats about i dont know what happened and it wasnt explained in the video
What happened in Utöya was Anders Breivik. He's a Norweigian neo-Nazi who planted a van bomb in Oslo that killed 8, intending to blow up the office of the then- Prime Minister & injuring over 200 people, and then attacked the youth camp of the Workers' Youth League, killing 69 young people. He said he did it because the centre left Labour Party government needed to be punished for allowing what he believed to be a Muslim takeover of Norway through immigration. Classic neo-Nazi stuff, aka "the great replacement".
@conniedavis1486 It would be best if you just Googled it. Most people who do such things hope to obtain the sickest sort of fame. I refuse to contribute to that. It won't be difficult to find the story. I promise
I’ll never understand people who commit in front of their loved ones. Most of the time suicides are impulsive and there’s nothing anyone could do to prevent it, but doing it in front of people you care about knowing you’re going to change the course of their life forever baffles me. I have someone in my life who did something just like this and I’ll never understand why he chose to do it. Alcohol probably played a huge part but he loved his brother to pieces. I still feel for his brother as it has shattered me to just know he died. I couldn’t imagine living with the imagery of seeing your brother shoot himself in the face.
spark is the only mf i actually enjoy that reads reddit storys, he doesnt reupload. he doesnt even use an ai voice. we fw you
Love your videos. FWIW, drama aside, I find the unnecessary cens*ring in the titles amusing 🙂
I asked this question to my friend's mom (911 dispatcher) back in highschool for a paper I was writing. She said "I had a man call and say 'sent a coroner to this address I'm gonna jump ' responded 'no sir don't do that is there anyone you want me to call for you' and he never answered, he already jumped as soon as he ended his statement to me." She said she didn't expect it because all the suicide calls she got the person just wanted to vent and first responders always arrived before it could escalate. This time, the guy just said what he needed to do so his body could be removed before someone stumbled upon it.. that story still haunts me... Can't imagine what that guy was going through...
I was not expecting that last sentence of Story 95😢
51:39 ok story 48 is crazy asl though 😭
59, that's going to happen a lot in America now since Roe v Wade was overturned, my brothers partner's daughter in law had a baby die in her late term, she had to wait a week but not full term thank God in Australia
Watching these stories and then getting a add for babies or lottery tickets has got to be one of the most emotionally jarring things I've ever went through.
EDIT. Also story 92, while I understand this isn't exactly a empathetic response the moment I heard that the dad let the kid drag the gun behind him barrel up I literally screamed. Letting a little kid handle a gun is already stupid, letting them do THAT while you're right there is frustrating to a maddening level. That poor kid died because that dad was a freaking moron.
The first one is honestly one of the worst because it's not recognized for what it is. It's passed over and that's intentional. That is a first responder pulling out the lighthearted, socially-appropriate answer that gets people talking about socially-appropriate things. Bashing on the "stupid people relations" aspect of the job is relatable and easily ends up on a customer service and stupid-people-are-stupid tangent. That's what a non-answer looks like. That's what hiding sounds like. The responder chose that answer specifically *because* they didn't want to or couldn't get into the true trauma the question is likely to dredge up.
The happy ones are also intentional, but it's a different kind. They're almost practicing DBT, reversing emotions, a therapy technique to avoid leaning into negative emotions and spiraling. When you're sad you watch a comedy movie etc. They're focusing on happy ending or humorous calls. It's a legitimate self-regulation method.
One of my online best friends passed nearly 2 months ago from an accident at his home and these just make me wonder if his family called 911 in case they could get him help and what was going on at that time. If they did call for help, what was that call like?
He unfortunately passed instantly when the accident happened. I miss him so much. He was such a good guy.
The pizza one, i would be in awe, its so creative
i’m actually in training to be a 911 operator and this was oddly helpful
The dog one pissed me off
Love your vids UnderSparked
Bf had a mom calls n says she is throwing her baby out the window 3 stories high, begged her not too lady says just pick up body she heard the baby cries as he is thrown.
82: holy shit... that sounds specially horrifying.
91: Great parenting there /s. Should be charge with child endangerment and involuntary manslaighter. Who TF gaves a charged weapon to a 6-year-old? hunters are indeed nuts.
97: Can't feel sympathy for him honestly. Actions have consequences.
Story 41...poor kid.
This is among the darkest and most serious vids on this channel and yet "the other half of the same banana" is up there with the hardest times I've laughed at any of them.
I was Listening to this and one of the calls stood out, it was one of my old friends. The description fit all to well, she committed suicide a few years ago…
Story 48 the guy that tried to kill himself is the main character 😅
The self-unaliving stories are really hard to listen to since I used to think like that, but it's also an amazing reminder of how far I've come and the fact that I survived my own depression. One of these stories could've been mine and thinking about that is going to haunt me.
Massive well done to you for coming through that. Probably the toughest thing imaginable, and you pulled through. True champion.
For story 47. All I can think of is a scene from Boondock Saints. Where Rocco beats that guy's head in with a cue ball screaming "Sick F**k!" Over and over again whenever I hear about people like that father.
Hi! Not an operator but someone who had to call 911 one call ill never forget making is when my mom had a stroke i was 14 and this was 4 years ago but the call still stays in my mind ^^
Holy shit i was diagnosed with vocal cord disfunction in 1999 at age 16. Acid reflux had scarred snd inflamed my vocal cords and id randomly not be able to breathe. Scary af
Story 44: when I saw the year and country this was from I wondered, but when you mentioned Utøya I knew immediately what this call was about. So many young people 😢
Thanks for the warning 😅
I hope I end up the funny call list. I called in after a big storm the next day, I see a massive tree down and powerlines down. I stood on my back porch and called 911 and at the whats the emergency, I said "um i dont know if I call you but I have a line down and a tree down." I know how dangerous downed lines are taught but people from the electric company. They never told us who is more important to call since anyone near a downed line and box can be in danger, I was directed to call the electric company. The best part, I have an overhanging roof edge and by luck I was standing in the only dry spot and ended the call saying, "I think I should go in. I am standing in the only dry spot." had an arc around my back door that was dry and still have a big dead spot in my grass due to pole falling.
51:14 jesus christ, that invoked fear into mean when he said that. It is the pure, but calm rage he has in his voice that makes this claim all the true. This scared me much more than it should.
Number 8 was depressing
W lets goo, 2h video is new. thx a lott
49:30 (story beginning). I would hate to have to survive that. I complain about my own life enough, but some things are too much. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I HAVEN'T REACHED THE VIDEO'S HALF WAY POINT?! oy, it reminds me of ol' and new war stories (my brother was in the military, my sister answers 911 calls and my my grandfather (Former chief of near 7M metropolis R.I.P. ) all have horror stories. Makes my S.A. look like a joke. Oh, and my mom stabbed a cop at 16. We are a diverse family.
The elephant in the garden one was hilarious 😂
isn’t a 911 call, but it’s similar to the 2nd story! when my mom was young 4-6, she was with my grandpa’s mom (my great grandma) and while she was on the phone with my grandma she fell and had a stroke in front of my mom. my mom then picked up the phone to tell my grandma that “grandma fell and was asleep”. seems so scary to me but it doesn’t seem to affect my mom so much.
In that second story…so sweet how she wasn’t concerned about herself but about the child
@3:20 Grandma ain't fucking around....
I dont remember this but my nanny told be i overdosed on medication in London and my.mum took 7 hrs to ring anambulance after realising i was unconciouss and had been for hours
My brother's roommate is a 911 dispatcher, and he got a call to their apartment for a domestic dispute and possible assult with a vehicle. Of course, hearing his own address as the location of the incident was startling for a moment, until the caller said who the people involved were. It was a man and woman who have a very toxic and volatile relationship going on and have had the cops called on them multiple times. They were in the street in front of my brother's apartment. She was in her vehicle, and he was standing on the passenger side, drunk, punching the window and screaming at her, with his other hand gripping the luggage rack bar on top of her vehicle. She drove away while he was still holding it, which caused him to fall, and she ended up running over his leg. She drove around the block and came back. By this time, he was standing again and limped to the car and started punching the window again. She drove away again, and he fell again. Not sure if she ran him over that time, though. They both ended up getting arrested, and he had to be taken to the hospital for a broken leg.
What game is being played in the background?
Edit: I found it! It’s called Gris! I know it’s just background visuals for what is essentially a podcast, but the game is so pretty that I want to play it. This is not to detract from any of the stories or the content of this video, which are all fascinating, sad, and harrowing.
I feel bad for all those train conductors who had to witness that knowing they can't stop in time
"Here, let me help you hang up the phone" SIR DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?
1:05:38 - If this happened in the last few years, it was probably because of abortion bans. Politicians don't care if the mother is a victim, or if the fetus is already dead, or if carrying to term would kill one or the other. A baby is not allowed to be removed until the 9 month mark. The doctor probably felt like garbage about it too.
1:12:15 - Imagine being so constipated that you're scared enough to call 911 and you get hung up on. Fecal impaction is an actual thing people go to the ER for, why would you try to charge someone for "wasting emergency services"? It's humiliating enough just calling to admit you can't push one out. Woman could have caused a rectal prolapse (basically, pushed out part of her intestine).
1:59:39 Wow. What a tough call. I do agree great teamwork
1:02:25 NOOO I WAS THINKING ELEPHANT STATUE AND WHAT.
1:05:00 a gentleman.
Good video.
@1:32:30 Panic attack. Almost definitely a panic attack. Either having a time and it was the last straw like the narrator said, or possibly a trigger for a panic disorder. The extended calming time and the gas attendant calling for her being unfit to drive is consistent with it. It doesn't take much. The trigger is rarely obvious. I have abuse in my history and if I were having one of my worse days with it, the free gas would have made me cry, too.
Listened to this entire video at work, and instead of making me even more depressed it really gave me a humbling respect and awareness for not only dispatchers, but anyone who has an ear to the pulse of something so human and harrowing. I don't think id ever be strong enough.
great vid thank you!
