The Bridge - suicides off the Golden Gate Bridge

[draconian]

A very sad, disturbing, and haunting look into some profiles of people who've jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.

Part 1 of 9

I listen to the geek box and Karen Cho (not sure of spelling) was late to the last one because some guy jumped in front of a train. Really sad but its a part of life. The Golden Gate bridge along with most bridges of a certian height are the ideal way to go aside from pills. You jump off and you die when you hit the water instantly.

I'm not sure why they don't fix the rails tho. You can just hop over it. They should make them much taller and just put plexi glass viewing areas on the bridge.

The last time I was there a couple years ago they did have tall fences.

Plexiglas panels will only ruin it for everyone. Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWRO9UyGFws#t=00m40s Not my video, but I live close by.
No pretty view for you unless you are on a bus or behind the wheel of a big truck
