An internal CenturyLink investigation into the causes behind a recent state-wide 911 outage pointed to "human error" on the part of one of their vendors, state officials said Wednesday.
The Aug. 1 outage caused roughly two-thirds of calls to the state's
911 dispatch centers to fail. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, 693 calls "failed to be routed" during the roughly hour-long outage, while 356 calls statewide were successfully routed through a redundant system.
