Tourist falls off pier while checking Facebook

A tourist in Australia fell off a pier while browsing Facebook on her phone.

Victoria state police said the woman was walking along a bay in Melbourne when she became distracted by her Facebook feed and plunged off the pier into the chilly water — but she managed to hang on to her phone throughout the ordeal.

A witness called for help and police found her flailing around in the water, about 65 feet from the pier. She told police she could not swim.
