Occasionally, though thankfully a lot less frequently, people trip and fall into very dangerous places. My point is that people were falling onto train tracks (above ground and below) for countless years before texting was invented. Now, as more and more people use text messages, more and more people will wind up doing the same things they used to do WHILE sending text messages. SMS almost led to THIS woman's demise, but it just as easily could've been anything else, and the only difference is that if it had been, we never would've heard about it.<br><br>The real focus of this story should've been the maintance worker who risked his own life to save hers. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2007 10:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Woman plummets onto subway tracks while carelessly texting]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/20/woman-plummets-onto-subway-tracks-while-carelessly-texting/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/20/woman-plummets-onto-subway-tracks-while-carelessly-texting/</guid><description><![CDATA[Japanese cellphones don't use SMS.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2007 10:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Woman plummets onto subway tracks while carelessly texting]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/20/woman-plummets-onto-subway-tracks-while-carelessly-texting/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/20/woman-plummets-onto-subway-tracks-while-carelessly-texting/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was going to make this comment too.
