Listen to people die: Slowly drowning woman with 911 operator mocking her for her stupidity

Don't know if there's a hard and fast rule against not having visuals, but this made me go "whoa" more than any eye candy gore I've ever seen on here, so thought I'd give it a shot.

I listened to the whole call the other day and I am perplexed by how this is being interpreted by everyone.

I don’t think the dispatcher was rude, and I didn’t hear her mock the dumb lady who died at all either.

Let’s be very honest guys… that lady who died was very dumb and annoying. I’m not saying she deserved to die, but if I was in the chair of the 911 operator listening to that lady I would have been a bit annoyed too.

The dispatcher did everything she was supposed to do. Unfortunately the lady didn’t know where she was (much later, much too late, she was able to give them a better idea of where she was) and didn’t do shit to try to get out of the vehicle or know how to swim.

Telling a drowning woman shut up isn’t exactly dispatcher protocol. That is like going to the doctor for a broken arm and the doc says

NO MORE MONKEY JUMPIN ON THE FUCKIN BED U MORON!

Somethin like that.

I'm with you. The lady is not being helpful at identifying where she is. She is understandably upset but just repeating "I'm scared, send someone. When is help going to be here!" isn't helpful. If the water is up to her neck at that point, what is she expecting? A magic helicopter to pop into existence and whisk her away? Clearly that's what she's thinking instead of it taking time for people to get to a dangerous area.

Lady couldn't try to get on top of the vehicle? Couldn't do shit to try help herself?

I didn't find the operator rude at all when she tried to snap dipshit out of her hysteria.

When the operator is trying to summon help for her, she just whines about how no one is helping her.

The operator then says something to the effect of "shut the fuck up. You're wasting your air" only to get "WWWHHHHIIIIINNNNEEEEEEE!" in response.

Why are people saying it's the operator's fault? Any attempt to get this woman to calm down just ends up with RHHHEEEEEE.

Then woman whines about her car catching on fire.

First it was up to her chin, then up to her chest. Did the water go down? First her headlights were on so the rescuers could see her, then the reason she didn't see the water was because they were out. Which is it?

The only way I found the operator rude was when she tried to blame the woman for not seeing the water.
