"I'm hiding in the closet of um, the janitor closet, ma'am please," said one caller.
You could hear fear in almost every caller's voice. Most hiding and just trying to find out what was happening.
"It took us three minutes to call you. We're Delta airline flight attendants and pilots. We're stuck in Fort Lauderdale briefing room. There's pandemonium going on with guns drawn outside," said one caller.
"Can you tell us what's going on?" asked the caller. "No sir, sorry not at this time we cannot," answered the dispatcher.
Other dispatchers told some of the people who were hiding to turn on the news.
"It's on Channel 7 News right now. That's the local station if you folks have a TV in there," said a dispatcher.
Every caller just wanting to know what to do and when they could come out of hiding.
There are over one hundred more calls like these, but 25 calls from witnesses of the shooting or people who could report what was happening in Terminal 2 have not been released. More than half of those calls are a part of the investigation, the other half may be released soon after they have been properly redacted.
Story updated to clarify that this is the first time any 911 calls were released.
