Girl Falls In Manhole While Texting, Blames City

With my luck I may end up taking a dive into a open manhole because I say this, but really... A fifteen year old girl was texting while she walked and did not notice an open manhole. She fell in, but does not appear to be seriously hurt. She blames the lack of an orange warning cone on her fall. Lack of a warning cone? What happened to watching where you are going? It is not as if the giant hole in the ground was camouflaged.

"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."

"Regardless of whether I'm texting or not if there was a cone there I'm going to see a big orange cone," she said. "I walk that sidewalk every day, I don't expect a big hole there.""
