Breaking News!!! Facebook User Glued To Phone Walks Unconsciously Into An Ocean by Cooldude001: 5:41pm On Dec 20, 2013
A woman is lucky to be alive after she took one step too many while looking at her phone and had to be plucked from the

water.8:59am UK, Wednesday 18 December 2013 St Kilda's Pier in Melbourne Police plucked the victim from the ocean close to St Kilda's

pier.

A young tourist in Australia was so engrossed in Facebook on her mobile phone that she walked off the end of a pier and had to be rescued

by police.

The woman was on St Kilda's pier in Melbourne when she was spotted falling into the chilly water of St Kilda's Bay by passers-by who called

the police.

Officers at the shore were able to point out the position of the distressed woman to water police units who rescued her about 20 metres

(66ft) from the pier.

When they got to her, she was still holding the phone in her hand, police said. The woman was browsing on Facebook at the time of the fall

Senior Constable Dean Kelly told The Age newspaper: ''She wasn't splashing around too much. She wasn't in a panic even though she was

in the water for probably 20 minutes."

The woman had a backpack on, which may have helped her to stay afloat, he said.

''She wasn't a good swimmer but she was floating OK ... on her back."

He added: ''She had a mobile phone in one of her hands and when we brought her on-board one of the first things she did was apologise

and say sorry."

It has been reported the woman was Taiwanese and in her mid-20s.

She was taken to hospital for a check-up after the accident on Monday.
