911 is commonly known around the world as the US emergency number due to the spread of dodgy US television shows . Here in Australia, it's been perverted to 9-11 (same as Asia apparently) in reference to the date (which in Australia would usually be day/month/year or 11th September, 11/09, etc) and the telephone number.
910 and 912 just doesn't have the same worldwide exposure as 911.
