‘Heartbreaking’: Dog dies after being electrocuted on busy Surry Hills street
A pet dog has sadly died after walking over an electrified manhole on a busy Sydney street while out with its owner and another dog.
The dog was walking along Crown Street in Surry Hills, in Sydney’s inner-east, on Wednesday evening when it stepped on an electrified manhole cover within the footpath and was instantly killed.
An exposed wire from a link box beneath the footpath is believed to be the cause of the electrocution. Pedestrians unknowingly walked over the manhole for 15 minutes with rubber shoe soles being credited for avoiding further harm.

One witness told 9News: “It was terrible. You’re walking along with a dog, and all of a sudden, it gets electrocuted and dies. So heartbreaking.”

Cellular service goes down across US as millions are hit by outage
Verizon's communications network has suffered a major outage affecting wireless service throughout the US.
Mobile phone users from New York to Seattle have lost all cellular service, including the ability to make calls or send text messages.
According to outage-tracking website Down Detector, Verizon's service started experiencing widespread problems just before 12 noon ET on Wednesday.
In a statement on their X account, Verizon Support wrote: 'We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers. Our engineers are engaged and are working to identify and solve the issue quickly. We understand how important reliable connectivity is and apologize for the inconvenience.'
Thousands of Verizon customers have reported that their smartphones are stuck in SOS mode, meaning they have no connection to Verizon's network and can only make emergency calls to 911, send emergency texts, or use satellite features if available on their device.
The outage has already caused many customers to panic as the disruptions have cut off vital lines of communication between them and loved ones.
'Lines are down... son who is home sick in York, Pa and on our plan is unreachable as well when I call from landline,' one Verizon user in Pennsylvania reported.
This is a breaking story. More details to follow.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland PD said they were called to near west side Monday night due to an “electrical event,” which knocked out power for hundreds of Cleveland Public Power customers.
Firefighters were called to the area of 4200 block of Fenwick Ave just before 7 p.m. for a house fire. That’s when reports of a transformer explosion came in, as well as multiple downed power lines across the road.
Multiple roads were blocked off to traffic as crews responded to what fire officials called a “critical emergency.”
As of 8:30 p.m., the house fire was under control, but Cleveland firefighters confirmed there was a gas fire at the house. Enbridge reportedly shut off the gas for the entire street.
Fire companies at the scene had to go door to door to check electric meters for issues. Some of the electric meters were even blown off of houses, according to CDF.
