It was an accident waiting to happen -- an open sewer and a 15-year-old girl who was texting while she walked.
Alexa Longueira, a high school sophomore, was walking along Victory Boulevard near Travis Avenue on Staten Island Wednesday evening when she felt the earth move and was plunged into smelly darkness.
She said the manhole she fell in to was left open and unattended with no warning signs or orange cones. She said two workers with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection failed to secure the area as they prepared to flush the sewer.
"It was just really gross and it was shocking and scary," she said. "Because of their careless mistake I got hurt."
Alexa lost one of her sneakers in the sewer. She does not want it back.

No; she used that to Twitter her friends to call 911, the press, and her attorney for her.

They've banned using a cellphone while driving, and texting while driving. It's a start. :uhsure: :whatever:
