Story on 20/20 Are These 911 Operators and News People That Stupid?

Question by Khefri: Story on 20/20 Are these 911 operators and news people that stupid?
I am watching this story about a young guy and lady, they are lost in a blizzard, freezing cold, and trying to get help from a 911 operator. They are trying to explain to 911 where they’re located at so they can come pick them up out of the cold, but since it is a blizzard and they probably cannot see much of anything they are having a hard time doing that… What pisses me off is that the 911 operator keeps saying that they are halucinating because they are on crystal meth, but they don’t know that. Most likely they are halucinating because they probably have hypothermia, and they really didn’t sound like they were halucinating a whole lot to me. The bottom line is these 2 people needed help and instead of 911 focusing on where they were they kept asking them if they were on drugs, and probably didn’t take the situation as seriously as they should have. These 2 kids ended up dying.

It was terribly sad but whether they were hulucinating on meth or from hypothermia, they couldn’t tell her where they were. Either way it’s just very sad and I don’t know what the operator could have done differently.
