'Help me' tweet rescues lost, injured triathlete

Indo Asian News Service, Updated: August 04, 2010 17:13 IST

London: A triathlete in the US who got lost during a competition and
then got hurt after falling off her mountain bike sent out a desperate
tweet for help. Her plea was noticed by her followers who dialled for
assistance.

Leigh Fazzina, 36, was participating in a mini-triathlon in
Connecticut. She got lost in a 300 acre wooded area after taking a
wrong turn, Sky News reported on Wednesday.

She speeded downhill in an attempt to join back the race, when her
front wheel suddenly hit a tree root and she fell to the ground.

Fazzina was not able to move and her fellow competitors failed to hear
her screams.

When she didn't succeed in making a mobile call, Fazzina turned to
Twitter.

She tweeted: "I've had a serious injury and NEED Help! Can someone
please call Winding Trails in Farmington, CT tell them I'm stuck bike
crash in woods."

Minutes later, half a dozen of her 1,000 followers dialled for help.

Mary-Ellen Harper, director of fire and rescue services for the
Farmington Fire Department, said they received calls from California,
New York and Chicago.

Fazzina was rescued and taken to hospital.

She later wrote on her blog: "I knew Twitter would get me an immediate
response as my messages would be sent to the 1,000 or so people in my
network.

"Of course my Twitter network friends would respond immediately and
help me!"

Thank God for cellphones ... She could not have tweeted if she had run into
you with your chainsaw. Moron.

The only moron here is Jeff Strickland. But he is more than a moron; he is
an asshole. But I have never encountered a mountain biker who was not an
asshole. I suspect they are born that way.

The ever cryptic Tom Sherman strikes again, and, as usual, no one
understands what the hell he is talking about. There is nothing denser than
a dense Dane. Everyone of Scandinavian heritage is just naturally dense.
Garrison Keillor of Minnesota Public Radio is another dense Scandinavian.

i don't understand, how is it possible to tweet if you can't make a phone
call?

if there is no signal, there is no signal for neither.

if a broken rib penetrated your lungs, and the blood coming out of your
mouth is preventing you to speak, that's another story...

I am surrounded by idiots and morons who are unworthy of having their asses
kicked by my royal foot. Andre Jute would be a worthy adversary for me, but
I agree with him on everything except his long-windedness. He should learn
to keep his posts short and to the point. Long-winded posts are wasted on
Usenet.

I remember when you had more to say in the old days, but you are wise not to
provoke me. I am here mainly to defend Mr. Vandeman against all the scofflaw
mountain bikers. Once that has been accomplished, I shall leave never to
return.

**** women and **** kids too. I am perfectly happy being a recluse. I like
to sit on mountain tops and only commune with the lone eagle. In fact, I am
pretty much a lone eagle myself.

My messages on Usenet are meant for the world, not for any individual. You

One, I snipped, I did not top post.
Two, I posted to directly you comments I was making to you, and I assume you
know what you said.
Three, you posted to somebody else talking about me.
Four, we can all see that you're a happy, well adjusted individual.
Five, it is difficult to soar with the eagles when you're such a turkey.
Six, you might have a world audience, but **** like this, <quote>The only

me (which I can handle) that you posted to another participant on the board.
If you want to attack me, then do it directly to me.
Seven, I'm all but certain you do not have a world audience.
Eight, Vandeman is an idiot of the highest order. If he can't stand up to my
challenges, then he's a bigger loser than anybody here ever thought.
Nine, even if Vandeman attained 100% of his environmental agenda, he'd save
less than one half or one percent of the environment, and that's a very
generous estimate.
Ten, If Vandeman attained his goal, you would not be allowed to sit on the
mountain top communing with the eagles. You would have a better chance
communing with the eagles if you jumped into my Jeep and got a ride to the
top of the hill.
Eleven, I'm not confusing anything with anything. You, on the other hand,
seem to be confused pretty much all of the time.

We are not the only ones reading what is written on Usenet. Everyone is
entitled to know what is being said and by whom. Every message should make
sense without having to refer to a previous message. Most readers are not
following entrie threads.

> Three, you posted to somebody else talking about me.

Every message that appears on Unset is to a universe of readers, some known
but most unknown. Whatever is posted to Usenet is fair game for one and all.
You have got Usenet confused with email.

> Four, we can all see that you're a happy, well adjusted individual.

That goes without saying! I do not persecute individuals like you do.

> Five, it is difficult to soar with the eagles when you're such a turkey.

No one understands us lone eagles, least of all a pigeon like you.

If you are monitoring RBS you will get what I have to say. I will continue
to attack you personally on the above newsgroups so long as you continue to
attack Mr. Vandeman. I consider you a scurrilous rascal to pile on like you
do. You are little better than a bully.

We have no way of knowing who is reading what on Usenet.

Even an idiot like you ought to have figured out by now that Mr. Vandeman
for whatever reason is no longer posting responses on Usenet.

Well, he is an extremist and I am not. I just don't want bicycles on hiking
trails. Am I being unreasonable?

Mr. Vandeman is a hiker just like I am. It is in fact the only way to access
wilderness. Any other way is a desecration, including via horseback

Maybe a shrink could clear that one up for you.

I learned at a very young age that when I'm the only person in the room
that's right, odds are good that I'm wrong. You apparently never learned
that valuable life lesson, along with a multitude of others.

Mr. Vandeman is with me as well as numerous other very smart people on his
recipient list. These are the kind of people you have never known in your
whole blighted life. Let's face it, anyone who drives a jeep off-road is
beyond the pale.

Whatever you post on Usenet can be used against you when you are tried

Well, buying a Jeep to use only on pavement is silly, as there are much
better choices for that use.

You have edited my message too severely. Very strange that you cannot figure
out how to edit a post so that your reponse will make some sense.

The thing about children is that they may be cute when young, but they all
grow up to be ugly adults. It is the same with cats and dogs ... cute when
young, but not so sute when all grown up.

Yes, I think you are probably right, but Mr. Vandeman should leave these
newsgroups altogether. I am much better at dealing with asshole mountain
bikers than he is. That is because Mr. Vandeman is a gentleman ... and I am
not. With me it is asshole vs. asshole!

Even so, cats are really cute when they are still kittens. But they are not
kittens for long. I think the cuteness factor is important so that the
parents will not kill their young.

So, by your own argument, you're ugly and have a bad attitude, no wonder
there is no woman in the universe that would have you. Granted, you don't
care about women, so you must be gay -- not that there's anything wrong with
that, but it explains a lot.

ALL adult human beings are ugly - positively no exceptions. How anyone ever
manages to marry much beyond the teenage years seems like a miracle to me.

Teenage girls can be pretty, something that boys never are. Men are so god
awful ugly, I cannot understand for the life of me what any woman can see in
us.

I would like to have been a tiger. They are truly a beautiful animal. If I
had been born a tiger, I would spend all of my days just looking at my
reflection in a pool of water.

If you had been reading my many thousands of posts to the various
newsgroups, you would realize that I am a homophobe. I don't much like
women, but I hate men, be they gay or otherwise. I pride myself on my
bigotry. Hey, I am a racist too. And finally I am an atheist. Can you top
any of this? If not, then shut the **** up!

By the way, there is plenty wrong with being gay. Please note the part of my
signature that reads Saint Edward the Great. That ought to tell you
something!

There are plenty of vehicles these days with FWD. Jeeps belong to WWII. I am

Name one that has a Jeeps Ground Clearance, ease of parts availability
out in the bush, simple to fix, and durability.... Yea, I thought not...
Well maybe the original Suzuki Samurai, but I have one of those as
well... some of those South Asian MiniTrucks are getting close as well...

I am not going to discuss g.d ****ing motor vehicles with you. They have
ruined America and most of the rest of the world too. It would have been
better for Mother Earth if such vehicles had never been invented. Mr.
Vandeman is a genius of the first order to have recognized this all
pervading evil.
