    How do you fall OFF the stairs? Were there no railings? Do they mean she fell DOWN the stairs?

    Being distracted in a potentially precarious position is NOT a good thing.

      I thought she was walking backwards while holding her phone, not sure though. Sad news for her parents.

  • Strictly speaking, she wasn't killed at all. She was fatally injured.

    More proof that you can't fix stupid.

    People have been dying of stupid since humans first inhabited the Earth. Some things just never change.

    Maybe she's doing one of those "stairing" selfies or whatever equivalent to planking that is trending right now.

    Relentless selfie takers are not sane people. Period. By any certifiable standard.

      Agreed. Just this last Saturday I stopped at an intersection and I noticed a woman getting walking right in front of me on the cross walk taking selfies. She didn't notice an oncoming car in the right-hand turn lane so I honked at her so she could pay attention. lol

      The car in the right-hand turn lane was probably texting because their head was down. I think I may have just saved that woman's life. lol
