Transcript

Oh, that is the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. Oh. You're so dramatic. What is it though? Oh, I can't. A woman in Northern Territory fell waist deep into a long drop. Yep, she was using it and it collapsed beneath her and then she was stuck in it for three hours. Three hours in human. She had to be rescued by them tying a rope around her and using a tow truck to get her out. Why would they not just pull her out? Would you want to touch her? Fair enough. Fair enough.
