Remember last week’s apocalyptic disruption in BlackBerry services that made millions of people around the world embarrassed to admit they still use prehistoric phones? Of course you do(‘nt), who could forget such a horrific event.
Anyway, as it turns out, the outage wasn’t all doom and gloom. In fact, it actually saved lives!
A dramatic fall in traffic accidents this week has been directly linked to the three-day disruption in BlackBerry services.
In Dubai, traffic accidents fell 20 per cent from average rates on the days BlackBerry users were unable to use its messaging service. In Abu Dhabi, the number of accidents this week fell 40 per cent and there were no fatal accidents.
On average there is a traffic accident every three minutes in Dubai, while in Abu Dhabi there is a fatal accident every two days.
If Satan was on Twitter he would have tweeted something like: Dear #blackberry: please fix your shit, I need fresh souls.
