False 911 Calls Skyrocket During Bonnaroo as the iPhone Mistakes Dancing for Car Crashes

in Manchester, Tennessee, the local Coffee County authorities had to deal with “about five times the amount of false 911 calls than average,” resulting from Apple devices incorrectly recognizing partying and dancing as car crashes.

, Apple offered to send representatives to Manchester to help resolve the issue, but the solution was to simply send localized alerts, including a statement made by the local police through Twitter, encouraging festival goers to temporarily deactivate the Crash Detection feature, which reduced the number of 911 calls by 40 to 60%.
