A couple of minutes later after the other man and I tried to help him up again, he said no, forget it and call 911. When I pressed the talk button to dial, 911 was still on the line. I thought that was strange, maybe they have ways of doing that? Of course, this was a decade later.

Yes, 911 operators can do that. They often trace where the call came from that way. Sometimes the caller is being threatened by someone or is unconscious and can't give more information.
