"She wasn't splashing around too much."

With these words, Senior Constable Dean Kelly of the Melbourne (Australia) Water Police offered his description of a woman who had walked straight off the St. Kilda Pier and fallen into the water.

"She was just floating, really," he explained.

Perhaps she was in shock. Or perhaps her priority was to make sure that her phone was fine and that she hadn't missed anything in her News Feed.

Before she'd made her splashing exit from dry land, this Taiwanese woman, said to be in her mid-20s, had been glued to Facebook.
