Minnesota was impacted by this 911 outage. It was highly suspicious that it was at the same time as a major Azure outage. However, it sounds like it wasn't related.

Intrado did not respond to multiple requests for comment. But according to officials in Henderson County, NC, which experienced its own 911 failures yesterday, Intrado said the outage was the result of a problem with an unspecified service provider.

Having a single company dependency across 14 different state 911 services seems like a bad idea, no?
