Rescue at attempted suicide
Safety forces saved a man trying to jump from an I-680 bridge.
Safety forces from Youngstown, Boardman and the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to a report of a person attempting to jump from the Thalia Avenue overpass across Interstate 680, around 6 p.m. today.
A fire truck was used to get close to the bridge to talk to the person.
It is not yet known if the person was talked down from the bridge.

Youngstown, Boardman
same thing
Not really high enough, probably will wish he didn't jump when hes crippled for the rest of his life.

Next time pick a higher bridge
OK, the caption under the video clip says they saved him, but the story says it's not known if they did or not. The headline says "attempt."
I gotta agree - the only way to kill yourself off that bridge is to either do a swan dive, or jump in front of a truck.
Some of you folks are all heart.
"Youngstown, Boardman
same thing."
I don't see the traffic or businesses in Youngstown I see in Boardman. One is a township the other a city.
Wow! Such compassion. At least get the poor guy some help.
