You know they have a suicide hotline right there on the Coronado Bridge! You think anyone ever used it???
It’s sad that anyone feels the need to jump. Sounds like she almost chickened out before being chased.
Hi Hildy. Yes, I’ve seen the signs. I think my sister-in-law once used it. I know she once stopped her car on the bridge and threatened to jump off. She’s fine now; a very religious lady who volunteers at Scripps Chula Vista.
Really?
I have to say, most things the gooobermint does defy the imagination, but that’s actually a rather forward-thinking idea.
Who’da thunk it?
It’s funny, I was just talking about this last night. When I was a reserve on North Island, we would routinely get stopped in traffic because some jerk was threatening to jump.
After about 30 minutes you wish they would just hurry up and do it.
I don’t think anyone uses the phones.
Yikes. That’s a l-o-n-g way to the water.
You have to think that since she survived, she probably should rethink the suicide plan.
One guy jumped and took a K-9 with him. The dog died and he lived, but it should have been the other way around.
It is a good bridge to jump from. It has a low railing and a long drop.
That’s the bridge Baxter got punted off of by Jack Black.
Soooo, I’m guessing that installing speakers on the bridge that play Van Halen 24/7 might be a bad idea?
If you know traffic in Seattle, you might realize how shutting down a bridge for an hour would snarl things up.
What a drama queen. If you want to kill yourself there is no reason to make it a public spectacle and inconvenience a large portion of an entire city.
Yes drama queen for sure but I don’t think she really wanted to kill herself. She wanted people to beg her NOT to kill herself and then to see how troubled she was and to fix it for her. How very sad.
Ouch!!!!
hahahaha “Go ahead and JUMP”
Well, it would solve the traffic problem such people cause.
Specifically:
“Might as well jump. (JUMP!)
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. (JUMP!)
Go ahead, jump.”
The funniest part is that the song isn’t about suicide at all.
Geeee- and now she will get NObama Care!!!
Nancy Pelosi?
Yep a tripple whammy! No one begged her not to jump, she did jump and didn’t die and now she gets nObama Care! Which is going to be NO care at all. Ha! Poor drama queen.
Waaaay back when in my Navy days, one would have to jump off the ferry if considering suicide.
I really gotta come back down there for a visit.
