Golden Gate Bridge Suicides

[aThousandYearsWide]

I have noticed several threads about either unidentified persons being found under the bridge, or missing persons cars being found nearby. I am making a thread so these cases can be talked about in one place. It might even link a unidentified person to a missing person if we are lucky.


Dark side of the Golden Gate
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's most recognizable structures, but the historic landmark has a dark history. According to the Bridge Rail Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to stopping suicide at public facilities, since the bridge's opening in 1937, there have been more than 1,700 confirmed suicides and 300 unconfirmed. The foundation also estimates that, on average, the Bridge Patrol or the California Highway Patrol stops someone from jumping every two or three days.

He jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived. Now, he's seeing his wish for a safety net come true

This is a great idea @aThousandYearsWide! Thank you and @Bit of hope for all of your hard work so far. Once I'm done spending time with the grandbabies I'll be happy to help. It'll likely be either Sunday or Monday. Let me know what tasks need done.

Should we also look at people who are supposedly jumped from the "Bay bridge"? (San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge) or the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. They could have been found in the San Francisco Bay too, or is that confusing?
