seems to be something going on there,flyover closed and lots of police on top off flyover and under it,my daughter says she has just seen police carrying a bodybag but this is unconfirmed. can see the police out of my window and also a fire engine but cannot see anything that looks like a crash.

this the flyover by b.head central station?

yeah , forget the body bag bit, there is a guy threatening to throw himself off the flyover as we speak and the police are trying to talk him down. maybe what my daughter saw was an airbag or something.i can see four police cars on the bridge, not sure how many are underneath though.

yer by old ford garage.

he'll be heading straight to springview... probably... when they get him.

Surely that's not high enough to be life threatening? Unless he jumped head first. Seems more of a cry for help

despite some common misconceptions, the human body is a very fragile thing.

I saw a programme on the telly that said most falls from 15 feet or more are fatal so it doesn't have to be that high. (Emergency Paramedics or something like that)

let him jump and stop wasteing all our time/money

Police incident over,road re=opened.

So did he jump??

hope so

Nemmy you must know this person to be so negative about their life, what have they done to you ?

why are police ther anyways if he wants to jump then let the selfish Grrr jump is what i say !

Phlegm, Nemmy, Freddie please read forum notes about respecting the fact that the person you're talking about relatives and friends could well be reading your posts. If it was one of yours (friends/relatives) you'd be really unhappy.

I agree and also how do we know this person could have mental health problems.something has obviously gone wrong in their life that they don't know how to deal with.
They do say it does not take much to push some people over the edge.

Nice one Zelda. Very true.

Who says we die when we die, energy is never destroyed, it just turns in to a different matter. Perhaps the jumper worked this out and wanted to experience the other side....

Love is kind, nothing more or nothing less. Letting go of something/someone is what really counts - divine law (at the top of our legal system is divine law followed by natural, common then state) is the law of natural repulsion and attraction. If you like something you shouldn't keep it, admire and cherish it but don't hold on to it for too long as it will only weigh you down. My Grand died, I liked/loved her and I learned to let her go.

What makes anyone think this doesn't apply to everything.

Very profound and insightful Sanchez.You're a man of hidden depths.

That is what the women say, especially the bit about depth

insensitive %&$&*%^£!

well said.

Yes well said, lets not consider what the jumper wanted, just everyone's feelings around the jumper, if said jumper wants to jump let it be so. Ultimately its the jumpers choice, no one else's.

My sympathies do however go out to the jumpers loved ones who cared for the jumper.

It is not sympathy this person needs it is help. like i said something has obviously gone terribly wrong in there life to make them want to end it.
None of us on here know what this person has gone through so i don't know why some people feel the need to make negative comments on here.
Empathy is a wonderful thing if you have it.
To show empathy is to identify with another's feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place of another.

My thoughts exactly Zelda,

A couple of things, if this jumper was of sound mind and really wanted to end it all (though I appreciate 'being of sound mind' and being despairing enough to kill yourself are contrary) they wouldn't have done it so publicly where there was any chance of them being stopped from doing so. They'd have done it in a more private environment so they wouldn't be discovered until too late. That signals a massive cry for help, to me anyway.

Secondly IMHO people on this forum who write 'I hope he jumped', 'time waster' etc have no consideration for the potential jumpers friends or family and those comments, again IMHO are akin to trolling.

Nasty.

banish them to fb. Well in Zoobee

With tthat zelda

I have the same opinion as you on this one
