    I watched the video you linked, hondo. No suggestion of a lawsuit.

    Not that I would be at all surprised to find out a suit is coming.

    While I agree this girl should have been paying far more attention to her surroundings - there's no excuse for the city's environmental department to be flushing a sewer and not having an uncovered manhole cordoned off.

    Unfortunately, the city has left itself, and not just the manhole, wide open here.

    To me, she looks like the dictionary illustration for "teen falling into manhole while texting"

    You must not have paid close attention. Here's another link dealing with the potential of a suit.

    We used to have a sayin' round here: DAB.

    This teen is just that, a DAB — Dumb-Ass-Bitch.

    "You shouldn't have to worry about walking down the street while texting."

    So, according to her logic, she could walk down the street, texting, and cross the street and get hit by a car, and it would somehow be the driver's or the city's fault even though she was oblivious to her surroundings? Nice...

    And I didn't realize Fox News allowed minorities to appear...
