Jumpers off Seattle's "suicide bridge" are falling close to people on the ground - By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP, AP, Seattle Post Intelligencer
Sarah Edwards drives on the left side of the street near her office because the body of a suicide from the bridge towering above once crashed onto the hood of a co-worker's car.
The bloody aftermath of suicide is so common in the upscale neighborhood that grief counselors regularly visit the offices of Cutter & Buck, the sportswear company she works for. On the bridge overhead, city and state officials are adding suicide-prevention signs and telephones in hopes of cutting the number of people who jump.
'It's become kind of commonplace,' Edwards said. 'You worry about your safety.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:11 AM :: reference link ::
