Hi,

Not sure how you turned VoiceOver all the way off.  It sounds to me more like 
the gesture turned speech off.  A three-finger double-tap toggles speech on/off 
when VO is on, and the three-finger triple-tap toggles screen curtain on/off.  
I can see why you called 911 as when you go to power down the iPhone, one of 
the options in the confirmation dialog is "Emergency Call".  If you are 
concerned that this might happen again, you can turn this feature off in 
Settings, Emergency SOS.

I realize that some gestures are difficult for some people so I'll emphasize 
that you need to ensure that your fingers are separated when doing multi-finger 
gestures, otherwise your iOS device may not be able to distinguish between the 
number of fingers in the gesture.

Later...

This Morning when my father came over to do a three finger tap to turn off 
Screen Curtin since I have problems doing a three finger triple tap, my father 
noticed doing a three finger triplee tap turned off VoiceOver and was not able 
to get VoiceOver on until he went to Settings, Accessibility and turn on 
VoiceOver. The problem started yesterday when I used Google Hangouts to make a 
call and when the phone stopped ringing, VoiceOver was turned off. In my 
attempts to turn off the Screen Curtin and get VoiceOver back via a Hard Reset, 
911 was accidently called and VoiceOver had no problem speaking the Keypad. I 
thought I had all Speech turned off in the Rotar.
