This falls right into the "not with a bang, but with a whimper" storyline:

"Two teenage girls (aged 10 and 12) found themselves trapped/lost in a stormwater drain in Adelaide, South Australia. The interesting point of this article that makes it Slashdot worthy, is that although the teenage girls had mobile phones, instead of calling for help using 000 (Australia's 911 number), they decided to notify people through Facebook.

One wonders whether their next move would have been Twitter, had no one read their status update...
