  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Yale student commits suicide by jumping from Empire State Building

Why do they have the safety barriers so they can be so easily climbed?
 
Let me put it this way: if someone really wants to kill themselves, no safety barriers will stop them.
 
imagine the poor pedestrians walking on the sidewalk....woof, i would not want to see that..they said some guy went over and covered him with a blanket...so sad.
 
Terribly sad

.....Rest in Peace Cameron!!
 
I don't understand why they don't put barbed wire there to keep people from getting over.

The selfish kid put other innocent people on the ground at risk, luckily it was raining and not many people were out. He should have jumped off the GW bridge.
 
People need a backup plan. They need to, in a moment of intellectual lucidity, make a concrete plan for what they are going to do instead of killing themselves.

Everyone needs to equip themselves with an escape hatch so that if things go nuts, they just implement the plan instead of jumping off a building.

It could be almost anything. I'm going to join the Hare Krishnas. I'm going to max out my credit card and fly to France and wander the countryside till I'm deported. I'm going to go and sit in a tent in Arkansas for as long as it takes. I'm going to stand naked on a street corner in Ottawa and preach the end of the world for shits and giggles. I'm going to go to the Yukon and sit on a hill until I feel like leaving. I'm going to go to India and swim in the Ganges and cover myself in white ash and see how long it takes for someone to notice I'm not actually Indian. Then I will play an accordion. All of these are better alternatives. People need to give themselves permission to do something insane, but less insane than suicide. It would help relieve the tension. And they need a plan ahead of time.
 
Thoughts and prayers to his fanily and friends. Such a shame to have to be that desparate.

We have a brigde here in out twon were it has been used many times by people to jump. Most recently a 71 yr man stopped in middle of bridge on hwy and just got out of car walk over and jumped. They are now planning a barrier to be installed in next few months.
 
No matter who the person is, it's always sad when somebody decides to take their own life. For the sake of the people you love, wake up every day and hug them and tell them you love them. If you see somebody who is lonely, go up to them and let them know that you notice them. Every person deserves to feel that their existance is valued, but this poor man obviously didn't feel that way and he is not alone. Lots of factors contribute to the emotional instability that leads to suicide, but it could possibly that one display of affection that saves somebody.
And don't tell the person they are selfish for having thoughts of suicide, and don't make them out to be selfish if they commit the act. In this situation, "selfish" should be treated as a four letter word. A person who was suffering decided to do what they thought was necessary to end their suffering. Would you call a person who gets chemotherapy treatment in attempt to eliminate their cancer selfish?

It's not about being lonely or sad. It's about total despair and thinking that nothing can get you out of it and that your family will be better off without you.

Thank God I've never even been close to being that low.

Well if he wanted to off himself that is one thing, but he should have at least chosen a way that didn't endanger other people.

Dude, don't be a fuck. There's always gotta be some fucking douchebag who finds a way to blame the poor kid or villianize him in some way. If he jumped 86 FUCKING floors onto concrete, he clearly wasn't in his right mind so maybe pedestrian traffic wasn't at the top his list along with whether or not he left the iron on.

Attention, most likely. Here's an interesting tidbit on suicides at landmarks:

While most suicides occur at home through drugs, hanging or guns, the study says some people seek out historic locations to die, such as the Golden Gate Bridge in California and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

"These places become suicide landmarks," said Richard Seiden, who has studied suicides on the Golden Gate Bridge. "They develop a reputation and snowballing of their own."

Taking one's life in a known location, he said, "guarantees you a notoriety you may not have had otherwise."

Some 80% of the suicide tourists were men."

It also virtually guarantees that your suicide will succeed if you jump from such a building. People can actually survive self-inflicted gunshot wounds, hangings, poisonings, etc., and they can end up in incredibly miserable states for the rest of their lives if they fail. A fall from a height such as in this story would definitely do the trick.

A horrible tragedy for this young man, his family, and the people who were on the ground and who will never forget witnessing such a thing.
 
>>>He was cute too.

Behold the true tragedy. Couldn't an ugly kid have jumped in his place?
