Social media/texting: the new opiate of the masses.
She will sue somebody ("lawyers'" letters should be piling up in her mailbox already) and stupidity will win the lottery again.
Normally, I would laugh at someone falling in a fountain or something while texting "serves 'em right!" but this time... no. I feel bad for this lady. She is an older woman and frankly, there should be some sort of markings on those things. It just blends right in. Kind of hard to see out of peripheral vision, I would think. Hopefully, she's learned her lesson, but I sure hope she recovers quickly.
That video has been all over the news, all day. I laugh out loud every time I see it.
It's a shame that you are laughing at the misfortune of a person who is legally blind.
Yes, she should have been paying more attention to her walking than she was paying to her phone, but--as is so often the case--there was much more to this story than so many people assumed at the outset.

At least one person in this thread has the sense to think beyond the more obvious aspects...

SHE WALKED STRAIGHT INTO IT!!!!!!!
No peripheral vision was required, just two eyes open, looking where you are going.
"It just blends right in." What a load of bull poop.
