    I had absolutely no idea this video showed the actual act. I thought it happened immediately after she stopped while the camera was facing away. Since it doesnt show the moment she actually hits the water, I will keep the video up but 100% of the ad rev from this video is going towards the victim, if named, or to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Hotline if she isn't named.

    Bridge jump @5:14. Hard to see, directly in front of the right front of the vehicle, a shadow falls off the bridge just as a gray SUV approaches. Gas tanker passes by then stops further down. They come back to railing and search. Very sad.

      I mean beautiful. Poor little sweet soul. I know the desperation far too well, but I also understand that I have to trust life's timing and be ok no matter what. I wish I would have exercised like I was supposed to. I promise I would have shouted all of the love I could have or pretended to have needed her help. I regret NOT listening to my heart. It's possible that it could be different.

    I am so sorry this person reached this point and didn’t have the right person in their life to talk to about things. I have to wonder if maybe they had a job/coworkers/boss that made them miserable enough to do this rather than have to go to work Monday morning. I’ve been there. Or maybe it was school or family or a relationship. Doesn’t matter. We, as a society, should stop being so judgmental. We need to be kind. Stop being two-faced about everything. Stop talking smack on social media. No more drama. It kills! (This has been a message from the caring doodlebugs of the world.❤)

      Sometimes even the strongest support isn't enough. Sometimes the pain is too much too bear. Even trying to fully understand what someone else is dealing with you just can't truly know how deep the pain is and how close to surrender they are. Sometimes the battle is just too hard and too long and you no longer have the will to live, despite the best efforts of everyone involved. I pray she has finally found peace.

Every time I hid behind a smile and laugh, the internal darkness got worse when I was alone again and able to turn it (the fake smiles, etc) off. And ohhh how I dreaded going to work! But, I digress. I cannot begin to know what brought your friend(?) to feel this was her only choice. I truly hope she has found peace and pray for her family.

    I seriously wish Virginia and every other state had a 1080p or higher quality 360° camera system and had an emergency detection system setup if a vehicle of any kind stopped on the bridge. To send emergency personnel immediately to the area and wish someone in those first vehicles stopped to help her before she decided to jump . If I was on any bridge anywhere in the world and saw a vehicle stopped on the bridge with their emergency flashers on I would stop to help especially even faster if I notice someone was about to jump off . We are not perfect human beings. We all have hard times in life . But taking your own life away makes it so much harder on all your family and friends and even those who never knew you . Even if those close to you have given you a hard time and you feel no one cares about you . Remember, there are always people out there who do care . You Are Never Alone, and random people from all walks of life are willing to help . Stay strong and Never give up . Rest in peace child . I truly wish this never happened to you 😓

    To anyone battling depression, know that I love you and I need you. How?? Because it's a gift that I don't even understand that influences my actions in giving, feeding, prayer, fasting, and uplifting. I literally can't help it, if I wanted to. Only a GOD can do that. I need your smile, your presence, and the unique gift of individuality that we all bring. You are important. You are enough. Please don't give life's circumstances the power to rob us of you. On my weak days, I'm sure your presence would make me smile. I love to smile. I am encouraged when I see God's gift of life in others no matter what we face. Please don't give anyone the power to cause you to hurt yourself. They win when they see that they've gotten to you. Do not give them and the demonic forces that be that power. It's not easy. I know that you are in pain. I know you're tired. I know you're weary. I know you're frustrated. I know it's not fair. I know it's confusing as to why you hurt the way that you've been hurt. I know it has NOT always been your fault. I know that your mom/dad put their selfish needs before yours. I know YOU ARE THE BLACK SHEEP and are shunned for telling the truth. I know that they bully you and gang up on you. I know your pain gives them great joy. I know that you don't always have money for food, the flyest clothes, the newest hairstyles and nails, the newest Jordan's, the biggest or a decent home, the jackets and jeans others are into, the flattest stomach, the prettiest of hair and hair textures, the smallest waistline, the eyebrows you desire, that fly car or truck. I know you're frustrated. I know you may struggle in reading or with math, you may struggle with learning altogether. I know you might stutter when you talk. I know he or she may have misled you and misused you. I know they abused you. I know you cry in the shower or wherever you can because you're tired. I know you're the least popular. I know they think you're weird and are such a cornball or square. I know you're sick of seeing others win who won't even acknowledge God and are ungrateful with their many blessings...But, I STILL NEED YOU. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND NEED YOU. It's just how God made me. I'm praying for you. I'm thinking of you.
    Love Shawna.

    😢 This reminds me of a holiday in San Francisco in 1992, when I was walking on the bay side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Suddenly I heard a vehicle braking hard. There was a VW bus on the opposite side of the road. Seconds later, passers-by were shouting and pointing downwards. A person dressed in blue and white could be seen in the water. She must have jumped down immediately after the vehicle stopped. It took me some time to realise what had happened. Very sad that the person had no other option.
