This article appeared on the front page of the US Sun today in the language of superlatives they love to use. Don't be fooled by the name - it's the US version of their UK tabloid.
THIS is the shocking moment a woman falls down a manhole on her way to work just hours after two men allegedly tried to steal the cover. Terrifying footage showed the unsuspecting 31-year-old plummeting down a drain after the heavy metal lid she stepped on suddenly gave way. In the harrowing CCTV footage, captured in Brazil, the female can be seen getting off a motorcycle on her way to work on Sunday morning.
She is then seen strolling down a pavement as she uses her phone. Completely unaware of the loose manhole cover ahead of her, she paces ahead on her way to work. But just moments later, as she steps on the lid, the woman is swallowed into the ground.
The motorcyclist who dropped her off is understood to have raced to help her. She was rushed to Andaraí Federal Hospital in Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, and suffered moderate injuries, according to local media. Just hours before the horrific fall, two men were captured by the same CCTV camera tampering with the cover. Local authorities said they believed the pair were allegedly trying to steal the chunk of metal.
