One of the Japanese TV programs just had a dramatic re-enactment of a strange situation. Imagine being a 911 operator, and you get a call from a guy who says he's in the back of a trash truck, and they are compressing the trash!
How did he get there? Well, he's a homeless guy living in Chicago, it was cold, and he climbed into a dumpster to get warm, and then fell asleep. He only woke up when the dumpster got dumped into the back, and he's stuck under a heavy load. He knows where the dumpster was, but he doesn't know where they are now because the truck is moving.
In this case, the police started stopping every trash truck they found, and indeed, they managed to save the guy.
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to imagine where else someone might be calling 911 from? How did they get there? And what do the cops, firemen, or emergency workers of your choice do in response?
Go ahead, tell us all about it!
