Apple iPhone’s Siri can be frustrating sometime because it doesn’t recognise many words which causes the device to perform the wrong action, but this time it save the live for the teenager.
Recently Siri really comes to the rescue as it helped save the life of an eighteen-year-old named Sam Ray in Mufreesboro, Tennessee.
Ray was making repairs on a truck when the jack collapsed and 5,000 pounds vehicle fall on him. Making things even more difficult, he was in a location where he could not be easily found.
Ray called out for help, but nobody was around. While trying to get free, Ray accidentally hit the home button on his iPhone and noticed that Siri was activated.
That is when he repeatedly told Siri to “call 911.” Siri had a hard time understanding Ray because the iPhone was in his pocket so his voice sounded muffled.
After the fifth attempt, the call went through. Rutherford County dispatcher Christina Lee initially believed the call was a “pocket-dial,” but then realized it was a plea for help.
Lee was able to figure out Ray’s location from the phone signal, but the responders could not figure out his exact address until Ray yelled it into the iPhone.
Shortly after the call was placed, volunteer firefighters arrived on the scene and pulled Ray out from under the truck. He had been pinned down for roughly 40 minutes.
Ray’s injuries from the incident included a bruised kidney, a concussion, burns on one of his arms and broken ribs.
