Imagine the fear of losing control and falling unexpectedly to the ground - or even underground. CNN.com has compiled video of people who have survived such incidents captured on camera. You've gotta watch how they make it through their rough landings.

Teen on cell falls through sidewalk
See how a cell phone call got one girl in trouble and watch who pulled her out of the ground.
Lmao Bombo!!!
Sadly, the Priceline Negotiator was not one of the 'People who have survived falls'
Lol, jake..love those ads!
How did the cell phone contribute to the girl falling through the side walk. It's not like there was an open hole that she should have noticed.
Probably would have been more likely to see the signs warning of the sinkhole danger if she was paying attention to where she was going. This wasn't a freak accident, they knew of the danger. Of course, one might wonder why the whole area wasn't blocked off....
ya if there was a hole than it would ben her falt but it came out of no where
i wouldn't stand on the sidewalk around where it caved in...
ya there was a lot of people just standing there after she fall they all chould have fell
I don't how a cell phone contributed in anyway to that girl falling through the sidewalk. Unless the CNN journalist is suggesting that vibrations from the speaker audio somehow caused the obviously already shoddily constructed walking path to somehow get weaker?
a commercial with every single story - great job CNN – you made the net far worse than TV. do you wonder why so many of us go elsewhere?
30 second commercials for each sub-minute video? Brilliant. No thank you.
Sometimes even Darwin fails ...
Yea, I'll be sure to never use my cell phone while walking on concrete from now on. I best have both my hands free to flap them while I still fall THROUGH the ground.
Anyone laugh as hard as I did when they fell
i did
hes crazy
I'm getting sick of this story about the girl and the sinkhole. Everyone is so quick to blame her cell phone. Did anyone actually look at this? It doesn't look very well marked at all. I don't think it's her fault as much as it is the crew that failed to put up a railing or warning tape.
As a dentist, brush your teeth!
Yet, even for me all these ads on CNN are extremely irritating.
So happy its a white person...now i can move on.
