The cyber angels were watching over them.

Raven, she did what she did. You're a great second guesser. She was saved, problem solved.

Few Clothes, Austin, TX (8/27/2009 1:59:44 PM)

Raven. Yeah, I am kind of a go with the flow gal. LOL. Visit my profile if you wish.

Raven. I haven't had a TV for over 5 years. I live in Austin, so no I didn't see this story on channel 4.

Cool story. I have played POGO for years and am glad that this lady was able to get on and reach someone through there. The only thing that doesn't make since is that the chat does not show prior-to-log-in comments. So unless the OK woman was in the room and away from the pc, she would not have been able to see the post. She must have taken the time to scroll back and read previous posts. Thank goodness she did.

What else needs to be said but WOW.

Carlos, Tulsa (8/27/2009 10:24:29 AM)

Huh. That's cool. I would have probably thought she was trolling and blocked her. Haha!

Pretty straight-thinking of the trapped woman to seek out pogo, a large, interactive site, peopled with very congenial, civilized, players. Lucky she managed that access, but too bad she couldn't have logged into a busy game room for individual play where groups of up to 60 players can see the chat screen as they play the game. Response would have been immediate.

Recently I was playing in such a pogo room in the wee hours, thought someone was breaking into my home and mentioned it on the chat screen. My cell phone was in another part of the house. Pogo players from as far away as Australia were instantly concerned, wanting to somehow call 911 on my behalf. Was a false alarm but good to know so many people were willing to get involved.

Innovation saved her. Great story!

Wow.

HONES, T-Town (8/27/2009 10:12:12 AM)

BRAVO!

FaithnHim, Crested Butte, (8/27/2009 9:28:22 AM)

WOW. Now this story is inspiring. Good people, good works!

owen, Tulsa (8/27/2009 2:21:53 PM)

Once again an Okie to the rescue.

Ric, Broken Arrow (8/27/2009 9:44:47 AM)

I'm glad a good ol' kind Okie came through for her. That's kind of spooky though...

Highly cool! Bet these gals become best canasta buds for life...they should get together.

Ryanoceros, Tulsa (8/27/2009 9:31:15 AM)

Cool story, I'm sure many would dismiss such a message...not sure how I would have handled it myself.

Queen Mother 3, Tulsa (8/27/2009 11:16:59 AM)

That's amazing! Not only did the someone answer her pleas for help, she suffered only a deep cut in her leg. God was truly w/ the lady & kudos goes to the lady that answered!

Centrist, close enough (8/27/2009 7:27:08 PM)

Amazing they were able to track her down. Very strange how her chimney fell in. Glad she was saved and someone out there cared enough to go the extra mile to help her.

Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/27/2009 10:38:39 AM)

She is lucky. I wonder why did she not type in something more like "my chimney fell on me & I need help! Someone please call the police for me!"

If I saw someone typing in 'help me' I probably wouldn't pay attention either.

Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/27/2009 11:42:36 AM)

owl - I thought the same thing, that she should have tried to find another room that had more folks playing. Maybe one of the 'adult chat' rooms would have given a quicker response.

Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/27/2009 11:44:19 AM)

I wonder if 911 dispatch centers could set up some type of instant message place where you could contact them via your computer. Just in case something like this happens. I think I remember they have texting capabilities, though I'm not sure exactly. I remember a girl was kidnapped and while in the backseat floorboard of the car she texted for help so the bad guys wouldn't hear her calling for help.

Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/27/2009 1:12:29 PM)

OK Few clothes, I'm thinking about how it would be nice to be able to contact 911 online. I'm not second guessing. I'm thinking of ways to improve the current system. You're quite the "just-go-with-the-flow" kind of gal, aren't ya?

Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/27/2009 2:43:14 PM)

Few Clothes - did you see this story on the News on Channel 4?

Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/28/2009 10:28:21 AM)

Few Clothes Hm...must be nice...not having a television. If my boyfriend didn't have something else to pass the time I wouldn't be able to walk LMAO.

Daniel - I haven't noticed any problem with POGO at my house. My son plays Vaults of Atlantis on it. But my sister has the same problem you describe.

Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/28/2009 12:26:58 PM)

Well...she was 70 years old. Maybe she didn't get around online much except to play games.
