Seeing the jumpers from the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 nearly did me in.

"Seeing the jumpers from the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 nearly did me in."

This is quite the same category as that, or as the death of Nick Berg. Many of those "opposed" are not anti-voyeur, rather they simply can't stomach the truth. A smaller percentage would actively suppress the data summarily in order to avoid political repercussions that may affect them.

"But, there is such a large population of profoundly, unapologetically disturbed people in that city. Despite the joy that I've felt from all the natural beauty, I also feel that it's an occult town, as much if not more so than New Orleans. I would not be surprised to learn that statistics on suicide would reflect a very large concentration of people killing themselves there. It's the ultimate narcissistic act of a deranged mind, and what better place is there, to feed ones' ego one last time, than the Golden Gate Bridge?"

Excellect summary.

I recall the writings of one jumper who survived, that it occurred to him on the way down that every bad problem in his life was fixable - except the one he had just created.

Me, too - and I waited more than 2 years before I allowed myself to view it.
