you have got to be kidding me!
Fountain-Falling Texter may sue
Pennsylvania woman's fall into a shopping mall fountain as she text messaged while walking has taken on a life of its own after video of the incident went viral online.
Video of Cathy Cruz Marrero's fall has attracted more than a million and a half views on YouTube and been shared widely on Facebook and Twitter.
But while the world has found her fall funny, Marrero said she finds little humor in the incident because no one from the mall has reached out to her.
"I didn't get an apology, what I got was, 'At least nobody knows it was you,' " Marrero said in an interview on "Good Morning America" today. "But I knew it was me."
Marrero didn't realize what happened until she was already in the water.
"Unfortunately, I didn't have anything to grab onto and hold my balance," she said.
Marrero was replying to a text from a friend from her church.
Marrero said she rarely sends text messages but this time she decided to text her friend back.
"I never text and walk at the same time," she said. "I don't like talking and walking on the phone, either."
Captured by security cameras, the video shows Marrero texting while walking and falling head first into the mall fountain.
She then casually gets up, fishes out her cell phone, climbs out, looks around and walks away.
Marrero said she embarrassed after the incident.
"I was like, 'I'm hoping nobody saw me. So let me just walk away,'" she said.
A woman checked on Marrero after the fall but no one from mall security followed up, she said.
She said they arrived 20 minutes after she left.
Fountain Fall Goes Viral
Marrero, who works at a store in the Berkshire mall in Wyomissing, admitted that she laughed, too, at first. But after being laughed at by millions, she said, no one has taken her feelings into consideration.
She learned that her fall went viral from her nephew, who called to tell her it was on YouTube.
