 Also a lot of other places (all of North America, as far as I know).

 "911 is a joke" is the title of a song by Public Enemy: 
http://www.ohhla.com/anonymous/pb_enemy/fear_of/911_joke.pbe.txt for the
lyrics.

 The point that the song's originally trying to make is that the emergency
services are less responsive when responding to emergencies in Black parts
of town. (the group is from LA, the song's from 1990. Nothing to do with the
current tragedy).
