I was thinking the same thing and wondering if the outlet was protected.
Being electromechanical devises they are not perfect. And most homeowners never test them to ensure that they are in good working order.
Regardless of if your outlets are protected or not they should not be trusted to save your life. Do not use electric devises in close proximity to open water. And at no time use electrical devises when IN the water.
In any other case we would all be calling this a “Darwin” award. But because she was a good kid and doing all the right stuff in school and her life, we forget how snarky we Freepers can be sometimes.
On the other hand, if I was the father, I would be asking what the hell she was doing in the bathtub with the iphone?
And yes, I am passing this on to my children as a life lesson. learn from other peoples stupid mistakes, do not make them yourself.
