I was wondering if there was a bridge tender, they are Supposed to be the failsafe.

Heard today she passed away during the flight to hospital.
Prayers for her family and friends for comfort.No disrespect is intended to those who knew this jumper or previous ones.
I do have to agree, if anyone is determined to jump, they will find a way. Nets, fencing...etc they will just find a way around it and go through with it. There's not much sense on spending money to add these barriers.

I got stuck in that mess but luckily on Rt 4 so I just went under the bridge and headed back home. Saw the helicopter flying though so it must have picked her up and was heading towards the hospital when I saw it. Figured it was an accident and didn't find out it was a jumper until yesterday when my youngest said something about another woman jumping.

If they should add netting how are they going to get this person out of the nets with out putting others in danger. Going to be hard getting someone out of the nets. Would probably be the MSP helo having to lower someone down and try to hoist a distraught person into the chopper. Could put that crew in a dangerous situation.

Unfortunately, those bent on self-homicide are ingenious many times at succeeding.

Maybe it's that Leonardtown teen who jumped months ago. He hasn't been found yet, has he? Or maybe someone who just walked into the water and drowned and no one saw.UPDATE: Maryland State Police Identify Body Recovered in Solomons Island, Two Southern Maryland Men Still Missing

Could be. Or the guy who was missing from his boat several months ago. I hope they can identify whomever it is so their family can get closure.

Working up in Alexandria, I hear about a lot of people washing up onto the shores of the Potomac River. Mostly homeless people who were probably just trying to bathe but sometimes it's a suicide.
Its coming up on that time of year again where Great Falls claims the hard-headed that ignore all the signs.

Dems need to pass some jump laws or something that works as good as the gun laws they pass...lol
It's sad either way.
