Iowa call center becomes first to accept texts to 911
FINALLY! I've wondered about this for the longest time, and it makes so much sense. If your house is being robbed or you're in a situation where you are unable to call the police (for fear that a thief/robber/attacker would hear or locate you), being able to text message 911 makes so much sense and will probably save lives. I'm surprised that this is the first location to accept them though. I hope more adopt the practice.
