An investment banker jumped to his death from the window of his million-dollar apartment in the Financial District on Thursday, sources and authorities said.
The 29-year-old man plunged from the 24th floor of the luxury Ocean apartment building at 1 West St. at about 10:40 a.m. and landed on a guardrail near the northbound Battery Park Underpass, narrowly missing a black SUV.

Sources said the young banker had made several attempts to kill himself earlier in the morning, including cutting his wrists, before making the plunge.
The man — whom police did not immediately identify — was from a wealthy family in Westchester County, sources said.
He had apparently become very successful on his own. He owned his apartment in the 36-story Ocean complex, which overlooks The Battery and New York Harbor, and had just returned from a vacation in the Bahamas, sources said.

Yes, there is not enough time to plan and execute a successful flare maneuver.
Right - wait until you land and then go try something different.
Twenty-something people have survived the plunge off the Golden Gate Bridge. The most commonly expressed thought after stepping off was, by far, ‘I really should not have done this’.

‘Suiciding’ Top Bankers and Billionaires — Do You Know Why?
http://humansarefree.com/2014/08/suiciding-bankers-and-billionaires-do.html
I’ve recently stumbled across a list of top bankers that have been killed in cold blood, died in “accidents” or have allegedly committed suicide. In some of the cases, their deaths are so suspicious that the ‘suicide’ verdict is simply ridiculous, as you will see.
While searching for news reports documenting their deaths, I’ve managed to find a lot more cases of high ranking bankers that have been found dead in suspect circumstances. I’ve added the cases to the list and included the appropriate reference links.
The fact that none of them died of natural causes is absolutely stunning.

I am looking for the Dead Bankers of 2008, 09, 10, 12, and 13. Would appreciate the help
ping to this post.
Hope you have all these in yours.
There’s a Rockefeller and a Corzine in these lists.
Someone’s cleaning.
I stopped looking when I got to over 80, and that’s not everyone by a long shot.
I did not have some of these, but not sure how a Malaysian banker fits in with English or Americans. I have to check on them though.
I appreciate the ping.
Excellent stuff combat_boots. I posted a link on my site on the Dead Bankers page.
Let me know if there is anything you would like to add to this page.
http://www.nachumlist.com/deadbankers.htm
/Thanks, O, keeper of knowledge.
Honestly, I quit looking when I realized I was looking at people connected to all the truly bad guys that stole $13T from the US on 9-12 2008. And all the Senators and Bilderburgers that are erasing their tracks. Over the Bankers’ dead bodies, along with their children and others.
HSBC and the 4 other big banks are firing people this year. I believe HSBC will shed 10-20,000 employees. IIRC, it’s just been found guilty in the currency manipulation suit.
I completely understand. I feel much the same way about the Obama administration and their attack on America. It does make a person want to give up.
I guess the thing that motivates me is simply that I feel the dead deserve a memory at least- as well as remembering the loss of our hard won freedoms. Maybe it will be a lesson to future generations to right these wrongs.
the hits just keep on coming
