-- three magic deaf 911-text calls
911 text calls for the deaf becoming magic!
First magic was a deaf person suffering a heart
attack and texting 911 for emergency medical
assistance. It was a success. Then second magic
was a deaf man seeing a deer stuck on frozen
lake in Minnesota, and texting 911 for assistance.
It helped and the deer is running around happily
in the woods. Third magic was a deaf woman from
Georgia seeing two young children trapped alone
in a car in a shopping mall parking lot. Police
arrived to rescue the children.
