ESB Suicide Discovered When Leg Found on 33rd Street

This just in from the Associated Press, and more than a bit disconcerting:
Quote:

NEW YORK (AP) — A man jumped to his death Friday out the window of a 69th-floor law office in the Empire State Building.

Police responded to the New York City landmark shortly before 3 p.m. after a 911 caller reported seeing a severed leg — covered in a gray sock — on the street below. The rest of the body was recovered from a setback on the 30th floor.
Apparently more than 30 people have jumped to their deaths from the 76-year-old tower. The AP does not report how many dismembered themselves in the process.

I can only imagine what it must have been like to discover that leg.

When the SO and I were up there last summer, we spent a while musing over whether somebody trying to commit suicide could actually make it all the way past that second landing by jumping off at the observatory. We guessed not, but it looks like we were wrong! (I'm going to hell if I make the terrible joke I'm thinking.)

On a more serious note, it's scary when suicidal people have such little regard for other's lives. (Or maybe just not enough forethought?) This isn't as bad as the man who parked on the train tracks and lived, killing and injuring dozens on the train, but still. :grumpy:

...if anyone else tries it, he's already got a leg up on the competition? :)

Horrible topic I actually knew the guy he was a friend of a friends. He was over at my place probably 2 months or so ago for a meal. Sadly the guy who jumped before him a year ago was also local from the neighborhood.
