Vonage Puts VoIP 911 Caller on Hold

kamikaze-Tech writes "It is being reported on the Vonage Forums that last month when Loren Veltkamp's Chanhassen, Minnesota home caught on fire, he immediately called 9-1-1 using Vonage. Unfortunately, Vonage put him on hold, causing a delay in the response from emergency workers. By the time fire crews arrived, the fire had become a five-alarm blaze. The house was a total loss."

I mod down people who pointlessly express things in C

As if knowing a programming language would make you cool and desperately conjuring up something anything that you could express in code.. if your stove is your smoke alarm tester pleaseNo? Contributing nothing at all to the discussion and pissing off everyone who's tired of all the people trying to be pretentious with these infernal elementary one liners.
