They actually called back.
"This is the local 911 center we just got a call from your phone and need to call back to see if everything is ok"
"My phone? Really? You sure? Huh."
"Yup probably just a pocket dial"
"Everything is good here, thanks?"

Depending on the conversation you were having while butt dialing, you could get more than a knock.

Children screaming.

I think it took them 2 minutes to get there.

My daughter and nephew were running around playing while I was packing for a work trip.

Screams of children would definitely rush the call.

Speak of anything involving murder or such would do it too. haha

At least they were nice about it. Probably happens more often than any of us think.
