According to a report:

• The 61-year-old Leslie Kahn was at the end of a swim in her backyard pool when the step ladder to get out of the pool broke.
• With no other means to come out, a physically weak Kahn found herself stuck with no one around to help.
• For three hours, Kahn, a breast cancer survivor, struggled to come out till she managed to get her iPad using her swimming pool pole.
• She then logged onto her Facebook and posted an SOS message on the “Epping Squawks” group page.
• “I started off with 911 and an exclamation point. I wanted to get people’s attention fast,” Kahn was quoted as saying.

Technology showed wonders:

• It was when technology showed wonders for her as the virtual Facebook community responded within minutes.
• And one of her neighbours soon showed up in person after reading her post.
• I was really glad to see her friendly face, and I sent her inside for the toolbox.
• And then the police came and then a neighbour came from up the street because he’d seen the police,she said.
• After being rescued, Kahn updated her town’s Facebook page to let its 3,981 members know help arrived.
• “You get through whatever life throws at you, and you ask for help. And be prepared to help others, and that’s the way life is supposed to work,” she added.
