ReplyDeleteHope one day it isn't you or a family member.
DeleteMy family isn’t this dumb...
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Deleteyour mother is probably ashamed to have ever brought someone like you into this world.
DeleteI would be like dude look your holding up traffic either jump of get down
DeleteI Think they should get his gay ass off the bridge
DeleteY’all are so insensitive. Once someone in your family dies like this you’ll go cry like a bitch and know what it feels like
DeleteUnless you've had someone in your family do it and you understand how selfish it is.
Delete💯
DeleteWell he isn't doing it so there is nothing to cry about.
DeleteBe careful what you say when it’s someone in your family whether they take their life or their life is taken, the pain is unbearable. And people making comments like this, Are the perfect example of the true hate in this world!
DeleteSuicide is no laughing matter. I have had 2 friends commit suicide.
DeleteWhat the hell is wrong with you people... people who comment suicide need help .. not let him jump wtf
DeleteIt was my family member that died and he made her jump so thank you to you insensitive assholes who I had to read comments from trying to figure out what happened to my 30 year old sister.
DeleteMan why did you even take the time to type that? On of my best friends blew his brains out a couple months ago because a couple months before that his mom and brother died and that was his only family. BS like you wrote can trigger someone. You never know. I lost my daughter years ago and I'm still crippled with the pain of losing her. Hope you don't find yourself in a life or death situation and no help comes. Remember the things you say define you in people's minds. Maybe your just miserable and by yourself. An isolated nobody...
DeleteI am so sorry that you had to suffer this e perirnce. I pray that he will get the help and support that is needed. And to the family member of his wife you have my heartfelt sympathy. Life is hard and we can’t get out loved ones back but we can try to be stronger than them and push to live... much love
DeleteI went to Anne Arundel Co First alert (facebook page) and someone commented that there were 2 people who jumped together Wednesday, WBOC said it was a male driver and this states a female did not survive, I'm not sure what the story is.
ReplyDeleteEither way this is so sad, I hope this is not a trend.
I pray that people get help and don't resort to suicide.
So sorry. So sad.
DeleteSome of you are ignorant and have no respect at all for anybody. Grow up and learn how to show some respect. I hope your family never has to go through a loss like this man has in the last week or so. Not only did he lose his wife but he lost his twins
DeleteShe did not survive. We are holding her memorial now. The press has covered this story up. Her family is in Baltimore now.
DeleteI agree

Deletepretty pathetic that people like you exist. Your mom did a terrible job raising you
Deleteyour mom did a horrible job raising you
DeleteReally it's a persons life. Nothing in your life is that important that you can't give this person some respect.
DeleteThank you
Deletey’all are horrible and deserve nothing in life. he was suicidal because idk his girlfriend or whoever just died in front of him.. when ur in that much pain mentally you feel like nothing else matters and u dont care. what if that was ur child or ur friend or parent who ever. burn in hell to everyone who has no sympathy for him. i hope he gets the help he needs.
DeleteThis is very sad..no one here has walked in his shoes and no one should Judge, that's for the Big Guy upstairs..the comments about his Mother are horrible..God willing, she is still alive and can you imagine what she is going thru..Yes, did he put Police and Emergency Responders there when they could have been elsewhere helping others...Is he wasting tax paying dollars thru all of this, yes..but apparently he needs help and this is how, in his eyes, is how to get it..What I don't understand is that if he and his wife or girlfriend jumped a couple days ago and she died and he survived, why wasn't he somewhere being evaluated..stunts like this, especially suicidal intentions, they hold you for at least 72 hours..why wasn't he held to get proper treatment
DeleteUmm dod he not jump with his girlfriend yhe first time? Maybe he is upset because she closed the deal and he did not...just sayin.
DeleteI think things must be pretty bad too take your life that is a mortal sin either resume PCP or he has a chemical in balance in his brain

ReplyDeleteYou are not that much of an important person that you can't give the respect to someone that needs help.I can't believe that people are actually upset that they're sitting in traffic over someone that is about to give up their life
DeleteRude
DeleteSome people also had emergencies and crisis themselves that needed to be places in a timely manner. Yet, their emergency and family crisis wasn't important enough like this selfish man who was only thinking of himself and making others have to suffer now too because of HIS ACTIONS THAT effected tens of thousands of people.
DeleteI completely agree
Deleteyou are heartless. i hope that you don’t get thr depression or anxiety/fear that puts you in same position. it can happen. you are clueless and ignorant. he is not selfish, her is desperate/mentally unstable/ill. you are selfish and dispicable
DeleteHe wouldn't be out that quick to be able to go back on the bridge. This all started about 10:30 last night.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine that was your brother or son up there, struggling so much that he is thinking death is the only answer to stop whatever pain he is experiencing. Please take a moment and educate yourself on mental illness. I wonder if it was an older person with dementia “who didn’t know better” if you would have more compassion?? This is why people don’t ask for help.
ReplyDeleteSo very well said.
DeleteAmen
DeleteWhy the hell are the police allowing this idiot to cause thousands of people being stuck on the bridge and they blocked off the exits so they are trapping cars getting off. Been sitting here for hours. Just heard the state police are feeding him and gave him a radio to make demands while thousands are stuck in the car on a closed bridge. Who the hell is allowing this? Great call Maryland police!
ReplyDeleteYou are an idiot...yes it's a great call by the police. Negotiations and counseling can take a long time, the goal is to preserve the life and they will continue until he either jumps or decides to come down on his own. So people are inconvenienced who cares. This guy tried to die once the fact he's still there says there's hope.
DeleteBecuase they believe in whats right, and so does every other person patiently waiting. Be happy your not up there with him
DeleteYou are the loser. Cowards take their own life
DeleteYou’re a disgusting human for saying something like that. Like truly disgusting.
DeleteI have compassion for everyone. There needs to be a time where enough is enough a four hour ride took me 12.5 hours. What about the truck driver's that are all parked on 50 now for the night die to sitting in traffic all day. Those truck drivers won't see their families for the weekend.Companies lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. As well as thousands of people such as myself that had 3 babies in the car teaching them to pee in bottles and on the road due to ones issues. No food, minimal drinks, no way to go back home, no way to use the restroom. This went on for WAY TO LONG.
DeleteAgreed
DeleteMy sister boyfriend was stuck in it. For a while. Then turned off and went to stores. What was suppose to be 6 hours turned into 13 hours
DeleteCompassion is surely missing in this world.
DeleteShame on you all for these disgusting comments. This is a human being. Have some damn empathy.
ReplyDeleteRight!!!!!!! so sad!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😢😢
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteWelcome to the new Covid 19 frustrated attitudes... no one cares about their fellow man... it’s me me me all the time. Do you think the jumper would want to sit in traffic for 6 hours to get home if it were someone he didn’t know holding up traffic?..
DeleteSeriously- if you think it is worth letting a person die so your dumb ass kid doesn’t have to pee in a water bottle, it’s a shame that your kid has to grow up with a parent as ignorant and selfish as you are. shame on you, do better. What if the person about to jump was your child, your family member, brother, sister, mom, dad, or best friend? Check your ignorant comments and please, for the love of god, get a heart. And get a brain.
DeleteHeartless comments.
ReplyDeleteI agree shame on you people!! Yes it’s an inconvenience & cost me a day of work but I’d never say these horrible comments! Don’t judge another when you haven’t walked in there shoes. I hope he’s ok. Suicide is never the answer!
ReplyDeleteTheir shoes
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteWow, these comments about him being shot, just wow. Mental health is a very serious issue that is way too often overlooked and undervalued, just like what this guy is likely going through. Having had a family member do this a few years ago, your awful extremely heartless comments are not taken lightly. Shame on each of you who could say such things, there's a special place in Hell for those as ignorant as your words. I hope you're stuck on the bridge for a good long time. Shame on you. Empathy is in SUCH shortage these days, we need to look out for each other in big big ways. There's simply NO room for this kind of vulgar ignorance especially now but Always. Think before you say such things, you don't know what someone is going through in their lives and to make a decision like this feels like a last and only resort. They need help, not words like this. Grow up, be better in this world!
ReplyDeletelook everyone obviously cares if the guy dies it is messed up but there is nothing anyone of us can do .. life goes on
DeleteWho are you to say there is no room then?
DeleteTake a deep breath and send healing thoughts to this individual. The positive energy that's created will benefit you both. Since you have time, take advantage of an opportunity to bring yourself some peace. Trust me, your mind, heart and soul will thank you. So will the next person you have to interact with.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your weed Mr Cheesil?? Lol

ReplyDeleteSome comments may be harsh, but I have empathy.... for those trapped and potentially life threatening situations where first responders can’t gain access. If the authorities don’t act in a timely manner, then this will become a common problem...
ReplyDeleteThis couple added countless hours of drive time to thousands of people ruining vacations, trips and perhaps causing other accidents and emergencies. They need a better swifter response to jumpers and traffic.
ReplyDeleteA human life is more important than someone's vacation or someone being late for dinner
DeleteHundreds... if not thousands.
DeleteA human life is more important than people being inconvenienced. So many people are hurting right now. People are loosing family members, jobs, homes, struggling with mental illness etc. Collectively take your heads out of your self centered asses. If your biggest complaint about your day is that you are stuck on the bridge, you are blessed beyond measure. Get some perspective and while you’re at it, a soul.
ReplyDeletePrayers. The people on here are absolutely disgusting individual and I'm wishing him recovery and all the best.
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteHey anonymous mean person: how about showing the world your name so we can see who you are. You need to get help. Human life is at stake here. If it were your son, daughter, father, mother, brother, or sister you would not be speaking like this.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the help you need.
Don't take life too seriously....none of us get out alive
ReplyDelete5:31
DeleteIf none of us get out alive then shouldn’t we take it seriously?
Makes no sense.
One person writing nasty comments then commenting on it trolls are bathroom graffiti people. Gross

ReplyDeleteEXACTLY
DeleteExactly right
DeleteLol
DeleteI have just as much respect for the guy as he has for himself.
ReplyDeleteGovernor Hogan didn't grant them free money soon enough
ReplyDeleteSo many cruel uncaring people leaving horrible comments. Imagine someone you love, feeling that distraught and wanting to die. You would want someone to show him or her kindness, help. No wonder some people get to that point! Too many like you! If you are suffering, feeling alone in this cruel world, please remember there are nice people too, and we want to meet you!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I tell you how much I love and appreciate your comment!! I was literally feeling sick and crying reading some of these comments..some people will just never understand and I pray they are never placed in a situation to have to understand..I unfortunately understand all too well..I tried to leave this world but didn't tell anyone I simply went to my room and tried to go to sleep..no note just a sweet heartfelt goodbye and a longer than usual hug to my baby girl. Thank God she checked on me. I realize now it was the greatest mistake of my life. My daughter didn't deserve to lose her mommy! I didn't deserve to feal that way either! I have alot of love and support and an amazing mental health team that keep me at my best!! I just wish everyone could know and realize help is there! And if someone sees this and needs to talk my email is there and I will always reply!!!!!!
DeleteI do wonder how many of the empathetic people are stuck on the bridge or Rt.50. It is very easy to play the empathy card when you aren't the one paying for it. Also, consider the danger posed... if you had a heart attack or other major medical issue and you were grid locked on Kent Island.
ReplyDeleteExactly I have been sitting in this mess for 5 1/2 hours. This is ridiculous.
DeleteHi! Stuck in traffic empathetic person here! 3 hour trip turned into 6.5 with whiny kids in the back, I am relieved the man got down safely and hope he gets the help he needs. It wasn’t the way we wanted to end our trip but it’s okay.
DeleteExactly...he wasn't the only one affected. If he truly wanted to end his life, he would have done it quietly and quickly somewhere else, not in full view of literally thousands of people. He did not want to die, it was a cry for help at the wrong place. Other people suffered serious consequences because of this poor man. I hope he gets the help he needs. This is my opinion.
DeleteMy kids peed their pants and I have very high anxiety. I nearly had a panic attack and the police were assholes. There was no signage you couldn’t do backroads. They let people off the highway and then wouldn’t let them back on. I feel for this man and his mental health, but he put those of us struggling with anxiety in a horrible situation. I was very close to a panic attack. I’m more frustrated with the local
DeletePolice and how they handled this situation. They put a Mom traveling by herself with 2 small children in a horrible situation. I am not bringing my children inside places during a pandemic and I ultimately had to turn around and stay with a family member I haven’t gone near since April in protection of her. God help the police if we exposed her to anything. I will be writing a lot of letters and reporting their behavior to anyone that listens.
This mans behavior has been reckless. I understand mental illness. And once he is treated I hope he will be held accountable.
ReplyDeleteI sat for 2 hours and then spent 200 bucks on a hotel room....and I really couldnt afford to. But I bet what he is dealing with is way worse. How sad.
ReplyDeletethey're going to have to install diving boards on the bridge when Trump wins the election.
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteThat’s cute, I like it and Trump too. The damorats won’t need them when Trump wins because they already are convinced they walk on water.Go Trump!
DeleteHope you’re the first one to jump ass——!!!
Deletenot sure about your bulshit Trump comment but I can assure u of this,,, is that racist coward liar Thief Joe Biden wins they will have to finish the border wall "NOT to keep immigrants out but to keep American citizens from escaping a socialist USA". All u TRUMP HATERS R FULL OF SHIT CONSIDERING ELECTION THAT FAILURE WHO SAT 8 THROUGH 8 YEARS OF THE WORST ECONOMY SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND GAVE THE US CITIZENS A FREE CELL PHONE AND TERRIBLE HEALTH PLANS! TRUMP 2020 IN YOUR FUC!ING FACES 4 MORE YEARS !!
DeleteI can't imagine the man's pain. For the two of them to make a decision, for her to do it, and for all that he is dealing with, a life saved is worth any inconvenience. Grateful for the people helping.
ReplyDeleteAmazed by the cruel responses. What it it were you, your best friend, a family member? You would want them to be saved. Read into the ; sign. All the people who contemplated or tried, but continued to live past it. Thought of it myself many times in life. Normal people feel they lost everything, and don't want to be a burden, and so on. BE KIND.
Thank you for being kind to my niece
DeleteDid he come down?
ReplyDeleteHe down off the bridge! They were able to talk him down after 20 hours.
ReplyDeleteThese people are venting. I just spent over 4 hours sitting in traffic. Anyone would be frustrated. It's easy to be in your living telling people who have been in traffic for hours to have a heart. This man wasted time and resources, and I hope he gets help but I understand the insensitive comments as well.
ReplyDeleteMy husband spent hours on the bridge. You know what he did? He kept texting me once in a while hoping the man was safe. Not once did he complain. The angry worthless people on this thread are nothing but whiny little trolls just trying to get a rise out of people.
DeleteI'm confused here
ReplyDeleteHe along with his depressed lady jumped last night; she died, and he did not.
Now , he is back again ?
Don't response teams take survivors to a mental health unit after a suicide attempt??
Wife and husband both jumped two nights ago, only the husband's body was found, they still haven't found the wife's body, this is a completely different man, I live on Kent Island and have for 22 years, I have never seen traffic this bad.
Deletethank u 812
DeleteThankful he was talked down, the situation on the bridge is back to normal. Praying he finds the help and peace he needs.
ReplyDeleteThis was not the same man as wed night; he is currently being cared for in a hospital in Baltimore. This was a separate incident. Traffic is now moving on both sides of the bridge! Prayers and protection to all.
ReplyDeleteHolding up traffic. Selfish
ReplyDeleteYep..
DeleteI am so disappointed in you people. How could you be so heartless and selfish about this?? What if this man had died? Would you feel bad for him? His family? It absolutely exasperated that you people are just saying these things. I am disgusted that people like you exist. Go to hell.
ReplyDeleteActually I’m a little p o at him. He talked his gf into committing suicide then he lives. Hmmmmm interesting.
DeleteIt took me four hours to get from the Kent Island bridge to the top of the Bay Bridge. I had no idea why the backup was going on however the man was on the south side of the westbound bridge at 1:30 when I went by. Honestly, it was upsetting to see and put everything in perspective. I am glad he is ok and I feel much more empathy for anyone in a similar state of mind.
ReplyDeleteEasy on the hate please.
I’m very thankful he was talked into coming down from the bridge. It’s these situations that are highly fragile and need to be treated delicately. Mental illness is a real thing and so is anxiety/ depression. I understand people being inconvenienced but look at the positive side. He’s still alive and with us. Very unfortunate for wife and husband. Hope they found their peace without pain. I’ll pray for them.
ReplyDeleteTo the person who said unless you have had someone on your family you won't know how selfish this is.
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE THE SELFISH ONE WE LOST MY FATHER INLAW. MY UNCLE AND MY 19 YEAR OLD NIECE TO SUICIDE.Its called mental illness you idiot. People do not jump off bridges or shoot their self in the head for no reason. Don't be ignorant... prayers for all involved here I so get it.
WHO HAS THE COMPLETE TRUTH FULL STORY ???
ReplyDeleteGOOD QUESTION
DeleteYou clearly don't understand depression or suicidality so just keep your heartless comments to yourself.I pray that none of your friends or family ever feel so desperate that they try to take their own lives.
ReplyDeletePrayers
ReplyDeleteI spent 2.5 hrs in this mess this morning and 4.5 hrs in this mess this evening. That's 7 hrs. 8.5 hrs at the customer site. And that's not counting the 1.25 from Bel Air to the bridge and 40 mins to Easton. That's a 19.5 hr day. And I had no choice but to make the trip as the customer was moving to a new location today. So yes, I'm angry. Those that choose to jump of a bridge are looking for attention and selfish. You don't have to travel to a bridge if you are homicidal. It is a mental health issue but society contributes to this behavior. If they knew that nobody cared, the number of these incidents would go down.
ReplyDeleteThe comments on here! I was super-inconvenienced by the lane closures - a 3-hour trip turned to 6.5 - up through Delaware and back down 95 - but it’s really okay.
ReplyDeleteThat was nothing compared to what this poor man has been through. I am glad he is safe now and hope he gets the care he so desperately needs.
Great news
ReplyDelete#BuildTheNet
ReplyDeleteYou never know what this person is going through. As a person who watched my brother take his life was devastating and to read dome of these comments I hope that you never have to go through this. It rips you into pieces the mental anguish that my family endured is the pain in knowing that no matter what i could have done it wasn't ever going to be enough. I hope this guy gets the help he so desperately needs. Prayers
ReplyDeleteAs a person stuck in the traffic....inconvenienced yes...but my heart goes out to the jumper. In the end he is safe for today and I spent the late evening watching the waves comes in at the beach. I can't help but wonder if COVID contributed. Maybe they have lost everything, other people, homes, jobs. I pray this isn't a trend. Lord Jesus, please help him and others dealing with mental illness or deep loss.
ReplyDeleteBay Span reporting was totally useless in this case and did not report the severity of the problem. One reason so many got stuck.
ReplyDeleteGot caught up at the 8 mile westbound backup that took over 6 hours to get through.
This jumper deserves imprisonment for his own good and that of others.
agree shame on you people!! Yes it’s an inconvenience & cost me a day of work but I’d never say these horrible comments! Don’t judge another when you haven’t walked in there shoes. I hope he’s ok. Suicide is never the answer!
ReplyDeleteAugust 21, 2020 at 4:28 PM
Shame on us you say?
Did the jumper take into consideration what was going on in the lives of the thousands of people that were held up by him? People lost work, missed flights, missed dr appointments (which most of the time take weeks to reschedule) Missed an interview for one of the scarce jobs out there due to covid? How about the serial abusers who were pushed way over the edge by sitting in traffic for over 5 hours? I guess their kids or wives should just shut up and catch another beating because one man on the bridge was having a bad day. Maybe somebody stuck in traffic was thinking about taking their own life and the stress of this pushed them over the edge. How do you know what thousands of people have going on in their lives? Shame on you August 21, 2020 at 4:28 PM
A human life is important, but that one human life put thousands at risk. All kinds of people pass on that bridge with serious problems. What if someone needed EMS because of a heart attack and nobody could have got through because of one person. I was in that bridge traffic. I work as a healthcare professional and although I am glad he got help, at the same time he put thousands at risk and I hope he is held accountable. I wish him no Ill will but his actions were reckless and selfish. We don't have to say cruel words, but we don't need to sugar coat his actions either.

What do yo think? That all of the people that were stuck in traffic have the worlds greatest lives? Do you know for a fact that none of them lost jobs or homes or loved ones? We all have struggles. You demonize these people who come in here to vent. Maybe you need a soul.
Why is the administrator keep removing comments. Where is freedom of speech. Yes bathetic as some people are, respect is due. As a human right show some respect. There are people that have issues that they feel removing their self from this world is their only option sad as it is. Hope everyone gets the help that they deserve.
ReplyDeleteBecause Freedom of Speech is not anonymous...
DeleteThankyou Lord for the responders who talked him down. I hope he gets help and hope anyone else who is so despondent knows they are loved and please talk to someone before you make any descisions. God help these souls.
ReplyDeleteThese nasty uncompassionate comments need to stop now !!!!...Now you can go and live your happy lives!
ReplyDeleteThis could happen every day JUST to make a Traffic Disaster Back Up !!
ReplyDeleteThis can NOT be tolerated !!! Police need to react QUICK & take OUT
the Jerk one way or the other within 30 minutes Max !!!
This was the worse BACK up in traffic I have EVER seen on Both sides
& I WAS IN IT pissed off for an Hour backed up to Annapolis from the
damn bridge !! The other side was backed up to RT 50 No Excuses
2 more Bridges should have been made 20 years ago NO Excuses for
an INCOMPETANT Government in Maryland !!!! Damn Them !!!
I do understand the man was mentally ill and do feel sorry for him. What I don't understand is the way it was handled. We sat trapped for hours in traffic and watched the several police go flying down the shoulder where people were pulling over to go to the bathroom and park while they walked to gas stations to fill up their gas cans. They were putting thousands of people in jeopardy needlessly. How many people does it take to talk someone down? Why were all the exits blocked not allowing people to get gas, food, drinks, and to use bathrooms for hours and hours? How many medical emergencies were stuck in traffic and unable to get to hospitals. Was filling up the bridge with emergency vehicles really necessary?
ReplyDeleteI was able to exit and then wasn’t allowed to get back on. They told me I had to go back on 50 East for 10 miles. I had already been sitting for 2 hours. I will be writing letters. This was handled horribly. Shame on MD police. Especially those of the city of Kent Island. They shrugged their shoulders at me and basically smiled. Meanwhile my kids were screaming in the backseat so upset. I wrote down every officers name I spoke to. Some cops are wonderful. These guys were assholes. If you are going to block all the return to 50westbound exits, do it all at once. I hope they can sleep at night knowing they sent a high anxiety person into a horrible situation. They did this to protect the mental health of someone (which I understand), but had no regard for the mental health of those of us stuck.
DeleteMy biggest complaint is that the traffic flow was managed extremely poorly. Why weren't there appropriate signs way earlier that the delay was as delayed as it was?... plenty of people could have driven back through Cecil and down 95 to avoid this mess. Once the traffic stopped there was no turning off... and also the people that wait to merge until the last second are some of the worst people alive. No need to stay in the left lane until the last possible second.
ReplyDeleteEverybody saying rude or your parents didn't raise you right. I wonder if he was raised right? The thing I see in this world today is not about doing whats right and every left wing DA wants to reward those individuals and give them praise for all the wrong choices and things they do. He was wrong and all you idiots who praise him or say think about his feelings apparently weren't sitting in that traffic and if you were I worry more about you than I do him (idiot on bridge). People need to be held accountable and suffer consequences for what choices they make. Can't everybody get a participation trophy and be given a pat on the back.
ReplyDeleteIt was a shock to look up and see signs lit up saying that the west lanes on the bay bridge was closed.my wife was taking me away for a weekend getaway and it did not happen due to this guy wanting to kill himself or crying out for help .my wife and I managed to take the exit to get back to route 50 east lanes back to where we came from 4 plus hours ago and we both were thinking it wasn't meant to be and there was other reason more important then ours in our Gods eyes ! So we prayed for the best and will reschedule our adventure another weekend ! Yes we tried re routing via our GPS but some of those exits or turns were closed / blocked off by policemen or lane signs and barrels, we felt as if there were no way out unless we just stayed in the miles long backup until they decided enough was enough. I feel as if more could of been done to of alerted all those drivers what we were facing if we we going to use the bay bridge route . If it was another emergency or terror attack there was not a lot of real control to get people across the bridge or through route 50 and use exits to other routes etc not that there are many.over all the many drivers were not rude or showed any signs of hatred other then people just wanted to get home ,try to their appointments ,pick up their kids meet their spouse, work etc etc the list goes on and on of the many possible reasons they were hiding towards the bay bridge only to get in a heck of a back up ! What a sudden surprise for many .
ReplyDeleteMTA should think about installing porta potty’s every 50 yards. Maybe some lemonade stands too.
ReplyDeleteLook I was on that bridge all day yesterday and my wife of 15yrs and mother of my child was struck by a car about 20 feet away from me I seen her instantly dead broken neck if it was him distraught because of his girlfriend I bet he didn't know what he was doing I was in shock and dont remember a couple weeks after because of the shock I still can't believe it and it's been 5 yrs almost. I dont know how this could not have been resolved more quickly and being on that bridge really was a top 3 worst experience in my life the heat was unbearable but I thought of the people in front of me and did it all night so someone else had it worse and only god knows what he went through there has to be a better way to go around it they should have made a lane a turn around to go back or one lane 3 to 5 people at a time taking turns at the point the police activity was it turned my vacation into a bad one but the rest was great hopefully this man gets the help and justice he deserves he endangered a lot of lives yesterday but pray for him and his mother had nothing to do with it.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to jump, then JUMP & don't bother thousands of innocent
ReplyDeletepeople with YOUR Problems !!!
Causing Miles of Backed up Traffic , endangering all those people !!!
Did he do a backflip?
ReplyDeleteSmart guy turned his 15 minutes of fame into 20 hours.
ReplyDeletePeople that post negative garbage on here about people being in so much pain they would be willing to jump to there death from the top of the bay bridge are the ones who truly need help.

Dude, you can't be holding people up like that. World doesn't revolve around anyone. Either jump or don't jump, it doesn't take 12 hours to come to a decision, and he already went to the bridge so looks like his mind was made up, but didn't have enough in him to finish the job. Unbelievable.. he better not decide to give it another try and hold people up again
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this incident I'll tell you. I lost a old friend some years ago to suicide from this very bridge, it truly is very sad and we should not make light of these incidence at all!

All we needed was ONE medical emergency resulting in a death on gridlocked (yet again) Kent Island and ALL of the kind, empathetic people would have to retract their statements. His life is no more valuable than ANYONE elses just because he has mental illness.

ReplyDeleteIf you weren't in a car with a sick family member, or on the way to visit a dying family member or on your way to perhaps dialysis, or other matters of real life gravity, you shouldn't be here posting disparaging remarks about peoples legitimate frustrations with being stuck in traffic for 5 or 6 hours. Everyone has a take on this and in their lives they have a right to express any frustrations they endured. This man took could have killed more than just himself, and caused one man in the car next to us near the McDonalds before the bridge to be hospitalized from diabetic complications after having no access to food or water for hours. As for the local roads and neighborhoods, we all pay road tax when we buy gas and we all have rights to equal access to those roads. If the neighbors have access to food and restroom facilities than why cant those locked in on the highway when common sense tells you that people will need these things as hours go by.
ReplyDeleteIf someone wants to jump, let em! I fully support freedom to make your OWN choices.
ReplyDeleteyou are a cocky idiot. wait till you get depression or anxiety this bad and then hope people have patience and understanding. obviously he is troubled and not thinking strait, DB
DeleteFor those of you saying he was "selfish", you need to understand that people with mental illness/depression do not think clearly. I'm sure it never crossed his very troubled mind that he was being "selfish". I understand folks were frustrated sitting in traffic for hours, missing appointments, etc., but please educate yourselves on mental illness before making those kinds of accusations. I pray the man is OK.
ReplyDeleteright on!
DeleteHe’s back again and higher than ever before. Playing King Kong on the Bay Bridge. He comes on the weekends and gets free Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner delivered to him by the cops. Never jumps , just comes for the free food and attention.
