I sure hope there's a good ending here. Poor girl.
ROGER DODGER	2012-10-03 05:43 PM
The only thing I heard is that she was standing where the fence ends..
COMMENT 327526	2012-10-03 05:45 PM
Just heard at least 2 police cars possibly 3 on The Pass. These incidents are so sad.
ROGER DODGER	2012-10-03 05:49 PM
I think they went code 4 no assistence needed..Yea there have been the above average suicides and many overdoses latley.
NATURE BOY	2012-10-03 06:04 PM
Ugh! This hurts my heart. Imagine being a kid of 20 and thinking things are so bad that.... Ugh. I hope the poor girl is ok and finds the help she needs.
COMMENT 327534P	2012-10-03 06:07 PM
Why are people still going to the bridge to commit suicide?
NATURE BOY	2012-10-03 06:14 PM
Maybe it was just a cry for help, excuse the cliché. Sad.
COMMENT 327556	2012-10-03 07:43 PM
Fence needs to be quite a bit longer. it ends too close to the very steep area.
COMMENT 327561	2012-10-03 08:00 PM
But Big Brother installed a big fence which will protect everyone I thought??? ;)

This is an INCREDIBLE New Yorker article about jumpers off the Golden Gate Bridge... if you care about this issue, please take the time to cut & paste the url if the link doesn't link. This article changed my life: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2003/10/13/031013fa_fact

Even 1984 did not turn out to be 1984. Be concerned, but no cause for alarm. Be active, but do not retreat because that is just plain lazy.
COMMENT 327580	2012-10-03 08:58 PM
That fence they installed, only made the bridge a bit taller to fall from... :smh: What is code 4, Roger? Did she jump? I hope not! She's too young...she can get help! She matters!

YIN YANG. It's a good thing our brains won't allow us to dwell on how inconsequential we all are. Just look up at the night sky . . .
COMMENT 327624	2012-10-04 07:01 AM
Yin Yang - Good points. "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be will be, que sera sera." "Don't worry - be happy." With thanks to Doris Day and Bobby McFerrin.

563, in your philosophy, is the glass half empty or was there ever any water to put into the glass? The night looks darkest just before the dawn.
COMMENT 327641	2012-10-04 07:45 AM
628: the night doesn't necessarily at all look darkest just before dawn! Have you looked; have you been out there in the moonlight? Have you watched the slow brightening of the day as the earth moves? I agree with Yin Yang and I also agree with public dollars going to prevent, if possible, suicides in the same way I agree with speed limits and safety railings. Having tried to suicide when I was 19, I can appreciate how black can be blackness and hope this person makes it past whatever are her demons. It is possible to do so.

Humans are a social species; we are built to care, and that is why people matter to us ... most of us; some fraction (up to 20%) are sociopathic and don't care about people other than whether they are usable.
COMMENT 327653P	2012-10-04 08:43 AM
563-change has been the only constant since whenever time started. The problem with our media and to a great extent our goverment is that they dwell on negativity and fear mongering. That is how the media and goverment stay in business. Every cliche you mentioned has many sides to it and most the other sides are not negative. Opportunity abounds in this country. Don't let the fear mongers close your mind to it.
COMMENT 327670	2012-10-04 09:19 AM
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRL?!!!
DARYL	2012-10-04 09:40 AM
Nature Boy: Thank you very much for posting the link to that New Yorker article. It's a very worthwhile read. Most enlightening of all was the statistic that 94% (or was it 96%?) of the people who were prevented from committing suicide when found on the bridge turned their lives around and never tried to kill themselves again.
COMMENT 327689	2012-10-04 10:07 AM
DARYL, that's probably because most of those "suicide attempts" were cries for help, and the person never really intended to kill themselves.
ROGER DODGER	2012-10-04 10:45 AM
The cops got her or wqe would have heard different by now..
COMMENT 327746	2012-10-04 11:16 AM
Too cold and lacking an understanding of mental illness.
COMMENT 327780	2012-10-04 12:24 PM
Sadly, the suicide barrier looks like it is pretty easy to climb over. Probably only only will delay a determined person a few seconds.
