A few years ago, someone here in a.o. posted a link to a video of a
series of awful accidents where pedestrians, while using their phones,
walked out into traffic, oblivious to their surroundings, and were
killed. I remember the subject line was something like "Death while
texting," and I commented that a majority of the people seemed to be
talking, not texting. Most or all of the footage seemed to be from
China. Is the person who posted that link still here? Does anyone
remember where the video was hosted? Is there still a working link?
