Assignment Task:
A few years ago your instructor received a phone call from the 911 dispatcher. The dispatcher told him a caller had said she was watching some chat rooms and saw a female subject trying to kill herself in a video chat room. Your instructor signed on line and ended up saving her life just as she slit her wrist on a web cam. Your instructor was at his personal residence in Troy and the victim was found in Wisconsin.
Explain, within one paragraph, how you believe this "save" might have occurred.

SANTIAGO, Chile -- Chilean police say a young man distraught over a breakup with his girlfriend hanged himself while she watched over a Web camera.
Deputy inspector Carlos Court says 26-year-old Simon Venegas was chatting with his former girlfriend when he pointed his camera at a tree in a courtyard of his house.
Court says Venegas hung a rope over a branch and told his ex, "Watch what I'm going to do" and "I love you, take care," before hanging himself.
The horrified 23-year-old woman called Venegas' friends to stop him, but Court says they arrived too late. The couple broke up a year ago.
The suicide happened Friday in San Felipe, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) southeast of the capital of Santiago. Police announced it Sunday.
