Blame the bridge.
And sue the jumpers' estates for the trauma. Or have a $100,000 fine for public suicide, taken from the estate, and used to compensate the traumatized strangers.

"...six emergency phones and 18 signs that read, "Suicidal?" and give the number of a 24-hour crisis line"
Please hold. First available (indian) operator will answer your call in the order it was received.

They end up in our parking lot," said Katie Scharer, one of Edwards' co-workers at Cutter & Buck, a sportswear company based in the Adobe complex. "Nobody's ever totally used to it." Get used to it(?) PING

It can be a terrible experience. I worked in Chicago years ago and one morning a crew was out scraping up bits and pieces of someone who had jumped from 60 stories up. The guy was spread over a couple blocks. It took me years to get over that sight.

On one end of the bridge you have a community with a statue of Lenin and on the other a community of mainly homosexuals..I guess the bridge is a good place for them to end their sorrows.

In Seattle I'm suprised that the solution they tried wasn't free meth, coke and LSD dispensers at either end of the bridge pedestrian walkway.
I'm an authority...I live here!

Did the suicides increase after the American Idol auditions?

Clearly, its time to pull out of Seattle entirely.

Wow, that's surely is a lot of jumpers.
Have they got a web cam on the bridge? I'd be happy to keep an eye on things, give the cops a call if someone was boosting the catwalk....

At least one woman, Sarah Edwards, drives on the left side of the street near her office ever since a body landed on the hood of a co-worker's car.

Set up a web cam! Someone in Las Vegas should take bets on when the next jump will happen.
