Oh my god!

Delay

I work on the 25th floor of the empire state building. The entire floor is surrounded by a balcony. My office is right by awindow that opens to said terrace. I was on the phone with a vendor, when I saw something fall and slam into the terrace. It was a woman. I looked out the window and saw her breathing. I called 911, and there are like 40 police and emts here now. They just pronounced her dead. They are bringing her body through my office window

Damn, that's horrible. I guess she jumped?

tripledouble

sucks that she was still breathing! i often think of what that shit would be like and i guess you have to really hope for death on contact.

still, thats some startling shit to see outside your window. poor lady.

puchito

WOW! That is seriously nuts.

Gary

HOLY SHIT.

Delay

I was the last person to see her alive

skel

Here's the questions no-one is asking:

1) did you take any pix?

2) did you storm out onto the balcony to aid the poor lady, perhaps offer the solace of a kindly stranger in her last moments?

Garcia_Vega

Oh shit! Hey, maybe you can get out early on some traumatized tip.

Bapt

HOLY SHIT.

you're the witness of her death

white_tea

Just having the conversation at work about suicides being on the rise. Hope everyone finds peace...

Hey Tom,

I'm sorry you witnessed something so horrific. I pray peace for her soul, family, and you.

Peace,

A college friend and her sisters were the first people to call 911 after the Colin Ferguson LIRR shootings... she was very thankful for the therapy the state provided.

If they offer help, don't shy away.

edith head

That is so sad and frightening. I would be traumatized if I witness that.

johmbolaya

that's terrible.

I have a feeling this world is fucked[/b] and will only change with the arrival or Lord Flock & Floosh.

djdaze

god damn Tom, you aight?

deanosounds

That is pretty f'ed up! What happened? Makes you appreciate the fact that you're still alive.

Okem

I was diggin at a carboot sale that's held in a multistory carpark, and this young girl decided, that was the place she was going to end it all.
Still haunts me slightly. Definately good advice to talk about it with someone, professional or otherwise.

selperfuge

go up to the observation deck and see if you can hit her with a penny

Jonny_Paycheck

Jesus Tom, give me a call if you need to. I'm here.

What a terrible thing to see. I'm sorry it happened to you.

Cosmo

Selperfuge, I would definitely say that reading the majority of your posts over the past several months that you're one of the lamest posters on this site. Good thing nobody pays any attention to you.

Hope you're okay Tom and def holler at some people if you need to rap about that. Also, take the rest of the day off and maybe go to the movies.

Frank

If you want to kill yourself, you should have the decency to do it where you won't affect other people with it. Imagine if a child would have to see some shit like that. Sometimes jumpers even kill other people by landing on top of them. Call me heartless but that's some seriously selfish and inconsidersate way to end your life.

Cosign on taking the rest of the day off.
Did they offer you to talk to a therapist?
Maybe you should, this could have some effect on you later down the line.

If you want to kill yourself, you should have the decency to do it where you won't affect other people with it.

^^ truth, landing on someone and killing two people is not cool.

Tom stay strong dude. I wouldn't drink tonight, just chill out and get some rest and a good night sleep.

Tabasko

go up to the observation deck and see if you can hit her with a penny

dude, that's a really dumb-ass thing to say. delete it.


Hope you're good Delay, that's an awful experience.
