36. She's Falling for You

36. She's Falling for You

She doesn't look to be in good shape. Why is this guy's first reaction to take a photo? Shouldn't the proper response be to run to the person and see if they are ok? This is why our culture is going down the drain. We'd rather document things than live them. That's all fine and dandy when you're at a concert, but when someone needs CPR it's better to put the phone down (unless you're looking up how to do CPR).

I can't imagine what this girl was doing up there. She was either between the ceiling and the panels, or she fell through the floor from the floor above. That's a much more brutal fall, and comes with a lot more questions. For anyone who has every tried to crawl on the paneling right below the actual ceiling, you know that falling is inevitable.
