Girl trapped in a drain because she tried to recover a phone with her feet

[QUOTE]A teenage girl has been rescued after getting stuck in a drain trying to retrieve her mobile phone.
The girl, named locally as 16-year-old Ella Birchenough, climbed down the hole in Eaves Road, Dover, Kent.
But she became stuck and was unable to climb out.
A passer-by, Tim Richards, witnessed the incident.
"It's not the type of thing you see every day," he admitted. "It was pretty weird. She was more concerned about getting her phone back rather than getting herself out of the drain."[/QUOTE]

Always super paranoid about this happening when I'm walking over a drain.
Sounds about right for someone living in Dover. Place is pretty grim.
Well as long as she grabbed her phone, even if no one was around she coulda dialed for help, right? :v:

With her feet?

If you can grab a phone with your feet, you can dial it with your feet.

I don't think a person who got stuck trying to grab a phone with their feet would be able to dial using their feet.

Don't make me upload a video of me dialing a phone with my feet to prove it, I will do it.

But would you try to grab your phone using your feet through a small drain thing?

The proper investment is to not be using my phone when I'm walking over a drain :v:

Well if she were able to grab her phone, then yes she could dial, why is this becoming an argument, seriously :v:

dunno
[QUOTE=Darkwater124;44440199]dunno[/QUOTE]
Well, let's end it here then, either way, I do want to see someone dial a phone with their feet, for science.
I've seen this sort of thing happen. It's particularly common in my part of the world because public works guys keep digging holes to lay cables and sewer lines, and sometimes forget to fill them in too.
What kind of drain are we talking about here? Unless she has extremely small feet I can't see how she even managed to get her foot into the drain in the first place

[quote]But her efforts turned out to have been in vain: her phone had broken during its fall.[/quote]
RIP brave phone.

Well shit, this totally kills my feet theory, I am crushed.
SO THAT'S WHAT WAS GOING ON!
I saw all these fire trucks heading up that way, i live literally not 5 mins away.

Because it's most likely a touchscreen phone, and I doubt she took her shoes off

You can slip your shoes off with your other foot, I do it all the time.

It was an Iphone.

But what if she was wearing hi-tops, though?

She wasn't, was she? :v:

That explains everything.

We may never know!
Can't imagine this happening in Florida. Half of your torso would be missing within an hour :v:
