It was also the second time it happened. It was a mistake, but one that really shouldn't have happened. And it was minor in terms of how long it was down, but not having access to 911 is potentially a major issue.
People are just sick of companies not being held responsible for repeated incompetence which often comes from cost cutting measures.
A million dollars for a localized and rapidly fixed mistake, even being a serious issue, seems appropriate. Everyone here is out for blood.
