Man Jumped from the Verrazzano this Morning
Around 11:30 am this morning, a 50-year-old man jumped from the Verrazzano Bridge. His body was recovered by the Coast Guard in Fort Wadsworth. Story here
Councilman Steve Matteo has previously called for a baricade for the Verrazzano Bridge.
RIP….
To this man’s family – I am so sorry, but I am tired of feeling sorry. I hope you will sue the City of New York for failing to provide fencing around this bridge. Over the years, many families of those who have jumped have called for a fence, so no one has to go through what they went though, but no one can hear them. There is an attorney out there who will take this case pro-bono, you might make some money AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE, you will help get a barricade put up around this bridge that we have been seeing people kill themselves for years – see here.
Hugs,
marlene
