MOO in that photo he looks likes he's carrying a decently sized object under his right arm.

Like behind the backpack?

 

[investikater]

Absolutely. Could you even imagine how faint that sound would be compared to the ambient noise?

Half of me wants to head to the bridge today with my SPL meter, but the other half is frozen just thinking about it.

That would be awesome! (If you do please take care)

 

[investikater]

Looks like a laptop to me, not a phone.

In his left hand?

 

[investikater]

I might head down to the Manhattan Bridge today to take some video and photos. Is there anything specific people would like footage of?

That would be amazing. If you go please stay safe.

I'd like a better sense of the scale of the fence.

Could he have faked a suicide? Just wishful thinking?

 

[SilentHill]

In his left hand?

It's what I think the large object is, most of it is hidden under his jacket/shirt and the end of it is what he's holding and that's why he's grabbing it the way he is, IMO.

I got some footage with my old iPhone, and I’ll upload it tomorrow morning. Honestly, I was flabbergasted by what I saw.

In the meantime, here’s a comparison of the fence to the top of my hat. I’m a hair over 6’ tall.



And I’m easily able to grasp the top of the railing flat-footed.
