Prior to 1968, there was no standard emergency number. So how did 911 become one of the most recognizable numbers in the United States? Choosing 911 as the universal emergency number was not an arbitrary selection, but it wasn't a difficult one either. In 1967, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) met with AT&T to establish such an emergency number. They wanted a number that was short and easy to remember. More importantly, they needed a unique number, and since 911 had never been designated for an office code, area code or service code, that was the number they chose

Very interesting find I am on break at work I will go through it later. Thank you very much S&F
I just read the story of how 911 got chosen a couple weeks ago.

How convenient! Aren't you glad you researched that remarkably precise trivia only a week before some random person on ATS published an OP which involved, in part, the gematria used to pinpoint the national emergency line dialling number? I find that to be synchronistic way, way, way beyond belief, and I suggest you probably should have altered your post to something like:
"In response to your OP I became super curious about this prospective conspiracy, so I did a little digging & discovered X, Y & Z regarding the matter at hand"
You see how that's far more believable than coming to the table with that precise general knowledge tidbit which immediately fits the premise of the thread in the manner of a rebuke, right at the initiation of the thread?! I would have thought your (self)-training would have enabled you to realise what a dumb idea it is to come to the table with a pre-stacked deck.
In short, I don't believe your statement, and I'd go so far as to say you are being willfully deceptive, for reasons unknown - perhaps you simply hate numbers, so read up loads about the significant ones, like 9-1-1, just in case you have to refute a spurious claim on the world's largest conspiracy website only a week later.
I'm really surprised that your ineptitude is so screamingly obvious.
