JUMP!</a> An interesting article (nicked from <a href="http://www.linkfilter.com">linkfilter</a>) about suicide and the Golden Gate Bridge. Only 26 people are known to have survived the 220 ft drop into water 350ft deep. I have been across the bridge once and was "amused" by the fact that there is a free counselling phone as you get halfway across. Reading this article and realising the numbers involved, it suddenly seems less funny... BTW, the jumper (who before he went a second time was one of the 26) protesting the Iraq War was discussed <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/24455">here</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2003:site.28791 Tue, 07 Oct 2003 03:11:09 -0800 bridges death goldengate jumping protest sanfrancisco suicide jontyjago
