Viral Video: Mobile phones have become such an integral part of our lives that we can't imagine functioning without them. However, this obsession can sometimes lead to serious consequences. A video shared on social media, showing a woman carrying a baby and engrossed in her phone, falling into an open manhole, quickly went viral. The shocking incident has sparked widespread discussions among netizens, raising serious safety concerns.
In the viral video, a woman is seen talking on her phone while holding her baby, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings. Unaware of an open manhole in her path, she steps into it and disappears from view. The shocking footage has left viewers questioning the negligence that led to such a dangerous situation.
The user Rafi Kalloor shared the video on Instagram on his account 'rafikalloor151shams,' with the caption, "When the mobile becomes a villain."

The video, shared a day ago, has garnered numerous user reactions. While many expressed safety concerns, others criticized the woman's behavior. Let's take a look at the comment section to see how netizens are responding to the incident.
One user wrote, "Why blame the women who the hell leave a freaking hole not covered." "The baby's head was hit hard against the edge of the manhole. May God protect the baby and the mother. It’s heartbreaking to witness such a tragic situation," a second user added. "This is the moment a woman holding her nine-month-old baby plunged into an uncovered manhole while distracted by her mobile phone. Luckily no one was injured and both were quickly rescued by bystanders in the dramatic accident in Faridabad, India," a third user commented.
"While it's easy to blame her for the phone issue, where are the hazard tapes? It's a manhole without a cover, and there's an advertising sign in front of it," added a fourth user. "That's why I NEVER talk on the phone while on the street. You always need to watch where you're stepping... you never know what might be underfoot. Especially with a child! The mother is to blame. It's very sad for the child," a fifth user added.
