A seven-hour breakdown of emergency phone line numbers in France was linked Thursday to up to three deaths, including that of a 63-year-old man who was unable to hail an ambulance after suffering a heart attack.
Many distressed people found themselves unable to reach emergency medical, police or fire numbers, or had their calls cut off mid-conversation, from around 5 pm (1500 GMT) to midnight on Wednesday.
