29 Year Old Jumper on Verrazano Narrows Bridge 9/22/13
Yesterday there was another jumper on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge (attaches Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to Staten Island). The jumper was first reported to be a 25 year old male from Staten Island. Later, reports indicated that he was 29 years old.
Initially, the news reported that the jumper was down and deceased and that ESU & Harbor units were on scene for the body recovery. Yet, the jumper is alive and in critical condition at Staten Island University Hospital.
RIP Michael Caiazzo (He was a handsome electrician from Staten Island). Prayers for his family and girlfriend. Michael’s sister said he became addicted to prescription pain medicine and hopes that people will stay away from prescription pain killers because they are addicting. She explained in detail to the paper because she doesn’t want other people and their families to suffer.
The Verrazano Narrows Bridge has had a lot of activity this year. Maybe sensors need to be placed on the bridge to help these tragedies.
Hugs,
