Alexa Longueira, 15, was, as teen girls are wont to do, texting on her cell phone, oblivious to the world, and didn't see the open manhole cover in front of her. The Staten Islander fell into the hole, but it was no case of Alexa in Wonderland, as she fell four feet in to what her mother described as a "putrid" sewer.
The young woman escaped with only a few scrapes and bruises, but nonetheless her family is now suing the City of New York.
