The pilot is in a better state mentally than the 911 operator.

[CrimsonGamer]

Dispatcher: "how far did he fall?"
Pilot: "2, 000 feet"
Dispatcher: 👁️👄👁️

[SWatson]

Lol, the dispatcher just sticks to the script.

What caused the fall?😂😂😂😂😂

[smartycummins]

You can hear how concerned the pilot is about where his aircraft went after he ejected. I’m sure he was just hoping it didn’t hurt anyone on the ground

[whatchuwant]

Pilot: Mam, I was just involved in a Jet crash, please send help at
Dispatcher: At what intersection did this occur?

[AJXOXO-vzpn]

Dispatcher takes 10 min to ask the same 3 questions stated differently over and over and over.

The pilot getting frustrated proving how awful our dispatchers are.

[pappysheart]

That homeowner sounds cool and nice- I'm picturing he and the pilot sipping a cold drink and looking at each other like "what's wrong with this lady?" during the call.

[PAUSEREVENGE]

Bro calling 911 and then getting 10, 000 question asked to you is wild

[bennylane]

The dispatcher must be working from home. You caught her as she was putting in a load of laundry.

[johnyoung]

"What injuries do you have?"
"My back hurts a little bit"
"What part of the body is injured?"
Even dispatch is hurting for employees

[Diandredofus]

She hears the words PILOT, PLANE and EJECTED and she asks how far did he fall.

Stop making excuses for this woman.

[karmakazi]

"I don't know where the plane is."
"OK so you're saying the other driver fled the scene?"

[pyrrhicvictory]

She forgot to ask if the pilot or anybody in the house had a gun

[tbolton]

Was this her first day at work? Has she ever heard of a military aircraft?

[pappysheart]

PILOT: I crash landed.
Dispatch: Are you alive?
PILOT: 🙄 Yes I am.
Dispatch: Why? How far did you fall?
PILOT:😓 uh... So, can you send an ambulance?
Dispatch: Sir did you say one Large with pepperoni and onion and a side of garlic breadsticks?

[christiansalazar]

I wish she would have asked what part of the sky he fell from to clarify the situation.

[Mike__B]

You could tell that 911 dispatcher was reading from a script that did not encompass what happened here. "How far did you fall?" "2000 feet ma'am" and you know she was thinking "oh my that's really far, you're probably really hurt"

[ekr]

Imagine having her as your dispatcher.

[FYMFTP]

That 911 operator needed to be like "I'm going to hand this one off to a supervisor".
