911 etc will walk you through exactly what to do. Youtube is also not the only source of video information on the internet.

Going to a site/app that rolls ads before videos should never be your first choice in an emergency situation.

Unlike youtube, 911 is an emergency service. I used `etc` to describe other phone numbers that might be more appropriate for your country (999, for example).

Assuming you can get connected. Youtube may well be more available depending on your location.

People often panic in emergency situations and complex thinking goes out of the window. I don't blame anyone for needing to know how to do something quickly and reaching for the tool they use most regularly.
