Verrazano Jumper – RIP – 12/6/19
Sadly, on 12/7, another person jumped from the Verrazzano Bridge – see here
Update: The man died at the hospital. RIP. Prayers for his family.
If you heard the helicopters flying overhead, a 44-year-old man jumped from the top level of the Verrazzano Bridge this evening around 5:25 pm. (Video of helicopter here)
The Upper Level of the Verrazzano Bridge was shutdown. “The man was on the Staten-Island-bound side of the bridge, closer to Bay Ridge.” (Info from here)
It’s being shared that NYPD scuba divers rescued the person from the water and the man has been brought to NYU Langone Hospital. He is in critical condition.

Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge 5:24:23 PM EST
Sadly, fencing is being planned for the bridge – it’s too bad it wasn’t installed by now.
Hugs,

Fenching needs to be installed immediately, to many lives lost.
