Many, many, many, many, many people claimed to have successfully used their cellular telephones fleeing from the Twin Towers. It was in the news. Post 9/11, sales of cellular phones skyrocketted. It was in the news. That is why the cell network was no good for any emergency assistance communications, it was people overloading the network to call someone to say they got out alive, calling everyone they knew to turn on the TV, ect. The cell network can't be counted on for emergency aid in such a crisis as everyone wants to use their phone for non emergency aid type calls. That is what I meant when I said in my post that cell networks tend to become overloaded so that they are practically useless for emergency aid, so of course there were many, many, many people making calls, that is why the network was overloaded - DUH. And the skyrocketing sales of cellular phones after 9/11 will assure that in the event of another such disaster, the network will be even more overloaded. |
