Selfie mishap: Austrian tourist rescued from well in India, in Gujarat

From the archive record

The Austrian woman was posing for a selfie after a tour of the Junagadh fort in the state of Gujarat, when she slipped and fell into the well behind her. The first thing she asks for, on being hoisted up, is a glass of water! Visitors nearby heard the woman’s shouts and came to her rescue. They fashioned a rope out of clothes that were in the vicinity and among the tourists nearby, and lowered it down to the bottom of the well. The woman took hold of it and managed to ‘walk up’ the wall of the well to safety. According to Indian news channel, the woman had fallen 30 feet. Remarkably she had not sustained injuries other than a few bruises in her legs. She was very thirsty upon re-emerging from the well.
