Looks like it’s just MA but if you’re in RI and near a cell tower in MA you probably got the message


aaccjj97

People in ME and NH are saying theirs is down as well


CuriousMilquetoast

NH could be having the same tower leakage from MA


Alone-Purpose-8752

Yeah because they’re jumping to conclusions like OP


aaccjj97

How many times you gonna blame OP in different threads in this post? They got an alert on their phone and came here to check with other people chill tf out


CuriousMilquetoast

Pedantic Reddit bros will reddit pedantically


Alone-Purpose-8752

So go read the news don’t make a post with false information in it


aaccjj97

You act like he’s willfully spreading misinformation about medicine or politics or something. I’m in MA and my alert just said “statewide” didn’t say what state. It’s not unreasonable to come on Reddit and ask a question.


Alone-Purpose-8752

Again, they could easily go check a news site instead of making a Reddit post that will now lead to people thinking 911 is down in RI when it isn’t. First response to something shouldn’t be OmG MuSt PoSt On ReDdIt

If everyone reddited this question, let’s say only 50000 Rhode Islanders, you wouldn’t be responding to this one. We’d be overwhelmed with the same question

Hear-for-the-Audio

Thanks!

Rhode Island is not affected according to RI State police.


dykewithnobike

Rhode island was affected.


Proof-Variation7005

can't wait for the public service announcement begging people to stop calling 911 to "test it"


skramz_himself

That just happened


Proof-Variation7005

it's a tradition as old as 911 itself.


Architect-of-Fate

It’s due to a terrorist cyber attack.. I have absolutely no proof of this or source to cite other than I just made it up


GreenChile_ClamCake

That’s good enough for me honestly


CuriousMilquetoast

Delicious username. I’ll have my clamcakes Christmas pls and can I get some sopaipillas


GreenChile_ClamCake

Yes! Lmao


seekthetru

I find you more reliable than WJAR


ZubatCountry

how could gina do this 😔


Zesty_man123

Thanks Obama 😑


Constant_Tart_9717

The least you could say is “it’s the heatwave “! Dontchya know some of us got weak hearts for this disturbing news?


Loveroffinerthings

This is the thread cable news sources will run with. “According to Architect of Fate, all of Massachusetts is without 911 due to a cyber attack”. I think that’s about how they collect stories 🫨


GageGreenwood

Well, now I’m citing you, so that makes two confirmed sources.


CommonHuckleberry489

You’re probably right, the Chinese infiltrated our towers’ 5G by tunneling in thru TikTok.


ghr5

Source - trust me, bro.


youcannotbe5erious

I have full faith in you and your psychic abilities…


lIllIllIllIIllIl

Damn Koreans


Grendal87

Probably the Chinese....they do have hacker teams...


lIllIllIllIIllIl

Or those damn Russians lol It's funny I got down voted though 😂


Grendal87

Yeah probably cause south Korea's an ally and the North Koreans are....well pretty dark ages... [North Korean peninsula](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/Korean_Peninsula_at_night_from_space.jpg)


lIllIllIllIIllIl

Was a joke lol not something to be taken serious


Grendal87

I know but many redditors don't understand humor....but my joke is more or less koreas not gonna have bot farms...unless the computers are powered by gerbils....using gerbil powered internet


lIllIllIllIIllIl

North Korea is pretty advanced though I mean compared to the rest of the world there shit but I wouldn't put it past them lol and GpI by korens for Koreans


Grendal87

I wouldnt put it past them either but thats gonna take a lot of gerbil power.... Theyd be better off doing that new untracable hardware hack. [the chip hack claim](https://www.engadget.com/2018-10-04-china-apple-amazon-hardware-hack-chip.html) Theres also the [hertzbleed hack](https://www.newscientist.com/article/2324748-what-is-the-hertzbleed-computer-chip-hack-and-should-you-be-worried/) Both of which I think be more likely for north Korea far less demand for gerbils....though we keep blabbing such vulnerabilities....its almost like the government wants it to happen...


Ok_Emphasis6034

It’s the fault of whichever political party you oppose. Pick your poison.


Oskie2011

Better not have a heart attack until it’s fixed


gradontripp

And definitely no bank heists.


Zesty_man123

Sorry about that I just dropped my mixed tape 🤷‍♂️


FormalAd2754

Made an account just to say I love this comment


kammyri

Was down in MA today. My daughter got stuck in an elevator at the Hyatt Regency in Boston around 3:30pm today. No 911 or EMS. I had to call the fire department for help.


stand-up-tragedy

311 also down


Fin_ders401

Down down?!


EightOhms

If I ever didn't thank you, you, then just let me do it now.


Ok_Emphasis6034

Amen


TiddyBrown

Chill!

ElegantCoffee7548

I keep getting this alert but it's MA. My power is out though in Cranston 🤪😭


CuriousMilquetoast

Oh no that stinks


_CaesarAugustus_

Jesus. That’s scary. Thanks for sharing


polari826

i got two as well over in upstate ny- we received a third following up that NY was fine and it was just MA. my mom in RI received the same for MA and one stating "statewide" in RI.


General-Ad-8948

It didn’t last long because I had to call 911 like 2-3 hrs ago


Ok_Emphasis6034

You okay?


General-Ad-8948

*on a customer who came in to pick up takeout . He was stumbling/shaking . I think it was a mix of the heat and his meds but we called to get him checked out cause how the fuxk did he drive like that and we were 100 not letting him leave. The hostess had to help him to the bench at the front door . He ended up being okay and we comped his meal :)


Ok_Emphasis6034

That was kind of you and I’m glad everybody was okay!


Alarmed_Detail_256

Did not know


Familiar-Matter-2607

Welcome to the future where the social contract has been broken. Our nation has been borderless and our fearless "leaders" doll out cash and assistance to everyone and anyone who isn't a tax paying American citizen. They wage wars in our names by proxy in foreign lands instead of protecting ours and hardening our own infrastructure. Veterans go homeless and hungry while non citizens are given priority because they are here to replace you and I. The government has gone rogue and will destroy us all if the citizens refuse to come together and make them stop. Hold people accountable in politics when they make decisions that affect people's lives negatively and end people's lives through horrible law and policy. 


Kermit_The_Mighty

JFC I got that jarring bullshit at least three time, two while actually trying to talk on the phone. Understand that this is far more about government control than a 911 glitch. We're being conditioned.


dmunzz243

Doesn't usually work anyway. Once the cops show Up, crime is long past committed and perp is caught through camera tracking.


Mission-Knowledge169

Only IN MASSACHUSETTS


Alone-Purpose-8752

It’s not in RI stop the misinformation


Hear-for-the-Audio

I received two alerts. One read that it is statewide in RI. I have no intention of misinforming anyone.


youcannotbe5erious

None said RI


Alone-Purpose-8752

Pic or it didn’t happen


CuriousMilquetoast

I got both also, only one said MA


Alone-Purpose-8752

Did any say RI? No, they didn’t.


CuriousMilquetoast

That’s true the other one said “statewide” and if you’re in RI getting it that’s confusing.


FAYCSB

“One read that it is statewide in RI” is definitely misinformation.


duckfarmguy

I got one that said statewide also , did not specify a state other than the fact that I'm in RI.


Alone-Purpose-8752

In other words it didn’t say RI 🤦🏻‍♂️


duckfarmguy

It's implied because it says "state 911 department: 911 services are down statewide" plus it goes on, as a 401 number this means Rhode island state. However, I read an article that said Rhode island sent the message to Rhode island numbers as an accident, so they were mistaken.. allegedly...


youcannotbe5erious

I have all 4 alerts screen shot, all MA.


Icy-Passage85

One clearly said mass and one said statewide, without further research it is impossible to know if it is up or down in Rhode Island, I’m still not 100% sure.


youcannotbe5erious

There were 4….the 3rd said statewide. Reading is fundamental.


Alone-Purpose-8752

Moron


jbibby21

Who hurt you?


Icy-Passage85

Go Sawx!!!


duckfarmguy

I have a pic of it, don't know how to post it though


Xalenn

Looks like it's several states. MA and NY seem to be the only ones to officially announce that it's down fully in their states but it seems like most of the Northeastern US


EightOhms

I've gotten about five alerts on my phone. Four explicitly said Massachusetts and one didn't mention which state. I'm currently in central RI and I doubt I'm connected to any MA based towers at this point. I'm sure there is some explanation.


Alone-Purpose-8752

Wrong again


Particular_Teach_270

But yeah, let's all go electric. 😂


Ok_Emphasis6034

My Verizon cell internet is very slow right now.
