22 minutes is the length of the average sitcom without commercials, but for one 911 dispatcher, it was long enough to save a life.
The caller told O'Herir he was going more than 100 miles an hour on I-94 in Minneapolis and that he wanted to end his life - either by crashing or through an encounter with law enforcement. O'Herir kept the man on the line.
A few days later, the caller left a message thanking O'Herir and the state trooper for saving his life.
