911 Egyptian style
Published by Hossam el-Hamalawy December 15th, 2006 in Egypt مصرWael Abbas uploaded an audio file that records an emergency phone call from a citizen to the Police, to report on “a big street fight in the neighborhood.” The call is received by an answering machine that plays soft music, interrupted twice by a recorded message of “Sorry, all available officials are dealing with busy with other incoming calls. You will be attended to shortly.”
In the background, you can hear the noise of the street fight, and screams.
Finally after 2 minutes and 11 seconds some police official answers the call:
“There is a big street fight…” reports the caller.
“Thanks, Thanks,” interrupts the police officer.
“Thanks about what?” asks the caller in shock.
The police hangs up the phone…
