Woman Dives into River Walk for Phone, Finds Brick!
22 Nov
Summary
- A woman jumped into the San Antonio River Walk to retrieve her phone.
- She searched for over eight minutes, only finding a brick and rocks.
- Swimming in the San Antonio River is prohibited due to E.coli risks.
A viral TikTok video captured the moment a woman plunged into the San Antonio River Walk, seeking to recover her dropped phone. Claiming she would 'be famous on TikTok,' she entered the murky water, searching for over eight minutes. Her efforts proved fruitless, as she only managed to retrieve a brick and two rocks, never finding her phone.
This incident has drawn criticism from locals concerned about health and safety. Visitors are expressly prohibited from wading or swimming in the River Walk due to potential E. coli contamination, which can cause serious infections. The San Antonio River Authority has previously given the river a poor grade for swimming safety.
The city has laws against swimming in its rivers and public waters, except in designated areas. The woman's risky actions in the potentially hazardous water serve as a cautionary tale about prioritizing personal belongings over public safety and health regulations.
