While we love to hate Apple's virtual assistant,
Siri, she has been hailed a hero by some
Fishermen in Florida, who
claim that it
saved their lives.
Though it seems like
Siri is incapable of doing anything well aside from dishing out sass, the assistant is actually pretty good at making hands-free phone calls. (Reminder: it's 2017 and that's **t very impressive.) Though simple, this feature did save
lives this weekend.

Siri came to
their rescue,
according to Fox 4. their 18-foot
boat began to take on water in the rough seas, and the men quickly put on life jackets and attempted to call 911 before the
boat sank. With cold, wet fingers, the men were unable to use
their phone's touchscreen to call for help, so one of them used to power of
Siri to make a call to 911.*
