I once was curious about what happens when an American visit my country and dial 911 in a hurry, as a reflex. It turns out that you reach an automatic exchange that asks what type of emergency service you need, and redirect your call.
Over here in the UK it’s a redirect over to the main 999 line, same for when you dial the European number 112. Very good to have, probably a lot of calls went through that wouldn’t have otherwise.

I wonder if more countries have that.
