A Taiwanese tourist had to be rescued after
accidentally walking off a pier in the Australian city of Melbourne while
checking her Facebook page.
The woman
tumbled from St Kilda's pier into Port Phillip Bay late on Monday night.
Police
were alerted to the incident by a witness and rescued her in a speedboat after
about 20 minutes.
I
know when I’ve been out and about and I’m looking at my phone I’ve been
distracted and not concentrated on where I was walking but I’ve never moseyed off
the edge of a pier before, I wonder if this woman was updating her status as
she was falling.
I
bet the police were delighted at having to deal with her, if I was them I would
be weighing it up in my head on the way there, should we leave her there to
teach her a lesson, or do we fish her out and mock her for being so bloody
stupid.
I’d
have gone with leaving her in there to teach her a lesson, and I don’t mean to
sound cruel or cold but I am so that’s how it comes across.
