1	alexbook Tue 11/3/2009 7:27p	I'd love to believe that this story is a hoax, but I'm afraid it just might be true: >>Trapped girls updated Facebook instead of calling police<< >>The girls, aged 10 and 12, used their mobile phones to access the popular website and update their statuses, alerting friends and family that they were lost in a storm drain in Adelaide's southern suburbs. Their exact status updates have not been released. The girls were rescued at about 7.30pm on Sunday night after a friend, who was online at the time, decided to call the police. Ambulance crews were sent to the scene but the girls were not injured and did not require treatment.<< >>"If they were able to access Facebook from their mobile phones, they could have called 000 [the Australian equivalent of 999], so the point being they could have called us directly and we could have got there quicker than relying on someone being online and replying to them and eventually having to call us via 000 anyway."<< http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tec...ice.html

I'll bet they got tweets and twits on THAT posting for hours!

7	Mr X Tue 11/3/2009 9:24p	I know! I'm gonna go blog about it right now!
8	RockyMtnMinnie Tue 11/3/2009 9:50p	How often can you post "is stuck in a storm drain"???? They couldn't pass that up and just call the police to ruin it. Maybe if the police had a Facebook page, people could get their emergency statuses to them faster.
9	DAR Wed 11/4/2009 6:10a	Who knew you could get such good coverage in a storm drain
10	Sport Goofy Wed 11/4/2009 6:14a	I can't get good coverage in my house. Maybe I should move to a storm drain.
