Zealot leaps onto subway tracks to retrieve iPhone

January 03rd, 2008 | Category: Cellphones

At first listen, one may assume that leaping onto subway tracks for an iPhone is totally and utterly insane, and while we’d tend to agree, it’s not like we haven’t seen folks do similarly zany things in the heat of the moment. Reportedly, a vacationer in New York recently dropped his iPhone down onto the subway tracks while shuttling back domestic, and after realizing his dear mobile was lost and backtracking fairly a ways, his pal finally spotted it down below. As you can probably assume,

the crazed owner leaped down, snagged the scratched up (but still fully functional) device and managed to climb back out unscathed. Granted, we can only suppose how painful it would be to drop even more dough on yet another iPhone when all that stands amidst you and your current one is a leap of faith, but we’d probably just ask one of those friendly MTA employees to help us out before going mano a mano with the Reaper.
