AirPod Dropped on Subway Tracks Successfully Rescued
Subway rider Ashley Mayer dropped one of her AirPods onto the tracks last Tuesday, but by Wednesday, the missing bud was back -- thanks to an ingenious rescue.
When Mayer first lost her AirPod, she took to Twitter to mourn its loss.
“The AirPod fell out of my ear several feet away from the edge of the subway platform, but I’ve never seen anything more inevitable,” she wrote. “RIP little buddy. Thanks for all the podcasts.”
After she saw the AirPod had miraculously survived its night on the tracks, she started to put together a plan to rescue it from its murky depths.
“I think I need to rescue him,” she continued on in a thread. “Game on.”
With an angled broom and some duct tape, Mayer constructed a low-tech grabber. She reached down in between trains and successfully rescued her missing AirPod.
“AirPod has been thoroughly cleaned and is now recharging,” she wrote. “Please send thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.”
By the end of the day, it was back in her ear.
