Controversial Bridge Celebrates 75 Years
Today the Golden Gate Bridge celebrates 75 years as beacon of engineering precision, aesthetics, and yes, suicide. On average, one person jumps to their death from the bridge every two weeks, "more than 1,500 to date," reports The Telegraph, with only one in 50 jumpers surviving the "four-second plunge." The remarkable yet painful to watch 2006 documentary The Bridge (which we strongly recommend) basically consists one year's filming of the Golden Gate Bridge in 2004, showing (in graphic detail) a number of suicides captured on film. While many have argued for suicide barriers, they have yet to be installed.
