in an actual emergency you can expect that people will be using the network to the point of overwhelming its capacity

the emergency system needs to have priority to be useful at all

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Oh cool. I can't keep up with these millennial crazes. I craft my posts and my tweets separately, preferring levity for the former and vitriol for the later.

Somewhere in America, someone in imminent threat of death picked up their nearly dead cell phone to call emergency services. Then with 1% battery left, their phone vibrated and blasted the alert on full volume, killing their phone and ultimately that unfortunate human being.
