Let me take a wild swing in the dark at what this story might be that the woman who fell off a pier after texting while walking might be ready to share. Here’s what I’ve got so far, and remember, this is just speculation, but did she fall off a pier after texting while walking? Is that the whole story? Of course not! (I mean, it absolutely is, but let’s play along with the local news station, because they worked so hard on this piece!) From ABC 57:

Earlier in the evening Miller, her husband Greg and her 15-year-old son Quinn had been walking along the pier enjoying the weather. They had just passed the end of the railings that extend only about half the length of the pier when Miller realized she had to send a text.

Chilling stuff. To hear the rest of her story, please watch this powerful, emotional clip. If you have children, you might want to send them out of the room. To school. Where they will learn something, anything.

EXCLUSIVE: DANGEROUS FALL. It’s very brave of Mrs. Miller to speak out on this, despite her embarrassment. Almost none of us ever realized that you shouldn’t text while driving and/or text without looking where you’re going at all. Brand new information for most of us, so thank you. Also: what were the three words she texted?! Oh to be a fly on the screen of that phone. Also: did she only manage to type three words because she is very bad at texting and it takes her a long time, or because she started texting with one foot already dangling in mid-air off the pier? GET THE SCOOP, ABC 57!

  1. If there’s no Taiwanese animation it didn’t happen.

  2. “She thought she just needed to tell her story as a warning to others.”

    Nope.

  3. An American hero, my family will be safe tonight. Thank you.

  4. Her three words: “Dck Pics Pls”

  5. Good grief. I hope she has a long talk off a short Piers Morgan Tonight.

  6. Sext: I am wet.

  7. She feel 6 inches! New lease on life! Husband LITERALLY jumped into ACTION (literally jumped into water).

  8. This might not be rational, but I could not possibly hate this woman any more than I do. She’s some asshole who fell off a pier and now she thinks she’s going to be the spokesperson for the cause of “not trying to text while you’re doing other stuff.”

    It’s all part of America’s quest for any kind of fame or notoriety you can wrap your grubby little mitts around, I guess.

  9. Dail M for Meh.

  10. Ugh, this women should take a long walk off a short… meh, you get the joke.

  11. Miller realized she had to send a text, to remind her friend not to get distracted in shopping malls. Unfortunately it was a poorly timed text for both of them.

  12. First shopping mall fountains and now an entire pier?! We need to get this country back on track, or soon our children won’t able to text within 100 miles of an ocean. NO MORE WATER 2012.

  13. upon being pulled from the water: “son, could you text Mrs. Cole and let her know that not only did I make that appointment for the wrong time, but that I can’t come at all today because I fell off a pier….Oh, and please make sure you do it over there by the railing.”

  14. “The plunge unfolded.” — News talker girl

  15. I’m just glad my grandma can’t text, because she live’s in St. Joes, is in a wheel chair, has two bionic hips, and is a cyborg.

  16. “My husband heard, “Oh God!” and then a splash.”

    “I heard her gasping for breath and it was kind of risky.”

    “They were great. I can’t believe how many people came.”

    THIS IS THE KIND OF FILTH BEING REPORTED ON BY THE LIBERAL MEDIA. NOBAMA 2012. POST PAID FOR BY CAIN SOLUTIONS.

    • Herman Cain supports sexting women. Herman Cain supports wet women. Herman Cain will personally be greeting this woman at her home with 9 9-topping pizzas later tonight. Herman Cain wants you to know about the third nine in his plan, but don’t ask… Unless you want a job.

  17. “This is Max Silvestri in Shreveport, signing off.”

  18. I’d really like to see the Lifetime movie about this, starring Markie Post, of course.

    • I’ll greenlight this. We just need to decide whether her husband is an alcoholic or a cheater (maybe he pushed her?) so she leaves him, or take it more in a she-fell-because-she’s-an-alcoholic-so-she-gets-help direction. Those are two of the three plots available to us here at Lifetime. And I’m sure Markie would love to do this project, unless she’s still filming My Cabbie Loves Me, He Loves Me Not: Bone Collector (our third plot is stalkers/killers) but in that case we’ll get Kellie Martin.

  19. She wants to thank everyone who helped save her life? What, is she a quadriplegic?

    I just hope to God her nose doesn’t need picking next time she’s walking towards a cliff.
