Filming suicides on the GG bridge.

Golden Gate Bridge officials are seething that a moviemaker who told them he was working on a "day in the life" project about the landmark was, in fact, capturing people on film as they jumped to their deaths.

I saw this dude at Fort Baker whenever I fished under the GG bridge. I remember asking him what he was filming with all the high end equipment but got a vague answer back. and all the while he was filming Charlie jump off the bridge.

No link?

 

"What else did he film?'' added board member Brown. "The underside of the bridge? The security patrols?"

Yes, lets attempt to turn this into a terrorist threat!

It's not like he ever encouraged people to jump... they jumped of their own accord, and would have done so whether he was there filming or not. All he did was catch it on film. What's the big deal?

Who would want to watch that movie. Why would you want to watch people killing them selves.

 

[oogabooga]

it's just highly distasteful for many reasons

1) he's filming people killing themselves
2) He lied to be able to do it

I know i wouldn't want to see that end product, and I hope he gets his comuppance.

"I'm not sure if you are aware of this,'' he added, "but on several occasions during the year, my crew and I were the first callers to the bridge patrol offices when we saw these events begin to unfold."

Not until after they'd jumped, I'd imagine...
