"The Bridge": Suicides on the Golden Gate Bridge Posted: 2 years ago by hypnotode
Filmmaker Eric Steel has released a documentary called "The Bridge" that shows some of the jumps, all filmed in 2004. The film is, understandably, controversial.
"The strange part about that is, almost everyone who made [negative] comments made them before they'd seen a single frame of footage," Steel said. "I think the film is incredibly sensitive. And I think people were quick to judge, because it's something they're very afraid of."

Could you jump off a bridge or a tall building and survive the fall? Posted: 1 year ago by super
I've often read that if you jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, you will accelerate to the point where hitting the water will be like hitting concrete. But my little brain keeps saying, "Yeah, but it's WATER!" Could you jump off a bridge like the Golden Gate and contort your body in such a way that you'd survive?

Perhaps The Strangest Suicide In History Posted: 2 months ago by muppetmaker
"The decedent had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide (he left a note indicating his dispondency). As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, which killed him instantly." And the story gets better...

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide attacker detonated an explosives-rigged vest at a Shiite funeral in Baghdad, killing 32 people gathered to mourn the death of an Iraqi army officer killed in a car bombing, police and ambulance officials said.
Isn't it the height of bad taste to bomb a funeral? What if it turns into a geometric progression?
