The Pizza Delivery Lifeline

An online pizza order contained a desperate plea for help.

In 2015, Florida mother Cheryl Treadway was held at knifepoint by her boyfriend. Thinking fast, she convinced him to let her order a pizza online, where she secretly added "911hostage help!" to the order's comment section. The attentive Pizza Hut staff recognized the plea and immediately called the police, who rescued Treadway and her children.
