Dutch Telephone Outage Takes Out Nation's Emergency Number

This is not just some internet uplink, it’s the national emergency number. And on top of that, they sent the wrong phone number with the NL Alert.

Whatever the post-mortem will say, if the national emergency number goes down, it’s a huge fuck-up. People will die because of this.

Didn't even receive an NL alert. My collegue sitting next to me did. I'm on KPN so I guess the alert depends on the specific provider.
