Though you are right, they probably were being serious, and that makes it all the more disturbing.

Why would you want to see someone so desperate to end their problems that they are threatening to jump off a bridge? Seems a bit sick to me.

had a workmate jumped off viaduct in milnshaw lane in 70s, not very nice.

I think people have just been going to look to see what was happening in order to report back. It's normal for AccyWeb when someone posts that something has happened/is happening but they don't know what.

Oh heck cash

It's awful when people are so depressed they just cannot see any other way than ending it all

I went down to the bank and could see there was nothing going on, I most certainly would not stand and watch to see if somebody jumped.

I just find it disturbing that someone asks if anyone is in mcdonalds with laptop and webcam.

OMG... I would rather run a mile than see that!!! It must haunt you for the rest of your life when you see something like that.

I also feel sorry for drivers that have had people jump off Motorway bridges in front of them!! I know the people are desperate that are jumping!! But I also don't think it's fair on the poor drivers that have to live with that for the rest of their lives.

Came on Blackburn Road at eight thirty and went down to the bank at about nine thirty, there was nothing going on down there. Must have been the viaduct

No doubt we'll get the full story eventually in the local press.

Slight wander (but along the same lines) think it was tuesday, drove down union st at about 5.20 is and the police were there, looked like a woman was threatening to jump off the mutli-storey, that was fun tryiing to explain to a 6 & 8 yr old what was going on.......

WillowTheWhisp · 22-06-2008, 07:52

Flippin 'eck! Is it that bad in Accy that so many people feel suicidal.

jaysay · 22-06-2008, 09:02

If I wanted to end it all I could think of a better way than doing a header off an Accy bridge

To be fair to Royboy Blazey, don't think he was making a serious bet .... just something we say. Think what he meant was in most cases like this, it is just a cry for help ... not an actual seriously intended suicidal attempt, ok, some do.

Whoever it was though, certainly needs help and sympathy.
