Trapped in Rio’s Sewer
Description
A 31-year-old cook in Rio de Janeiro plunged into a sewer after stepping on a manhole cover that gave way—then got trapped under it as it flipped over. Surrounded by water up to her chest, she feared death until a motorcyclist and bystanders rushed to lift the lid and rescue her. She suffered moderate injuries across her body and described the terror of being submerged. Authorities suspect tampering by two men seen on camera, possibly attempting theft, and have replaced the cover. This harrowing incident echoes a recent NYC tragedy, reminding us how dangerously unpredictable urban streets can be.
