File this one under “Don’t try this at home”. Two Australian girls,  aged 10 and 12, became lost in a storm drain. Instead of summoning help via the traditional call to the local police or fire department the girls posted a Facebook status message requesting aid.

Lucky for them a friend was reviewing Facebook at just the right moment. He noticed their status update for assistance and notified the local authorities who promptly rescued the girls and presumably gave them a stern lecture to call the police emergency number (000 over in Australia) instead of Facebook the next time they’re in trouble.
