@ai6yr I feel like maybe step one would have been to...

put down the phone...

@nazokiyoubinbou @ai6yr

I think its controlled by an app and she was trying to shut it off.

F*king terrifying. What if there was a baby in a highchair in front of that thing.

@MCDuncanLab @ai6yr I thought this a couple of times, but A. she never tried to actually do anything on the phone, so it wasn't helping even if it had such a control and B. when others tried to help hold it back she didn't let them do so and take the chance to use the app.

Anyway, it's kind of a pursuing two birds and getting none, regardless of the situation because holding it back with one hand was ineffective and trying to use the phone without even being able to use it was ineffective, so it just kept going...

(I also keep wondering if there really wasn't just some off switch somewhere that could be pressed...)
