Raising the bar - talk about clueless

From The Guardian:
Tourist walks off pier while browsing on Facebook
A tourist is lucky to be alive after she fell into Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay while browsing on Facebook, police say.

The woman was walking along St Kilda pier engrossed in social media when she walked off the pier into the dark and chilly water about 11.30pm on Tuesday.

A quick-thinking witness raised the alarm. Police officers were able to point out the distressed woman floundering in the water to the water police, who rescued her about 20 metres from the pier. It is believed the woman did not know how to swim. She was taken to hospital for treatment.
Walking distracted near something that can drown you is not how to go through life. Swimming - maybe there's an App for that... Posted by DaveH at December 17, 2013 8:11 PM
