1/1,300,000,000 = insignificant

EDIT: Is it illegal to tell a suicider "jump" or "die"?

More people should learn from the old guy. Stop wasting people's time. If you wanna jump, just jump. If you don't, get the fuck down, or I'll help you.

Talk about hyperbole. Millions?

Let's run with this idea of pushing them into it. At the very least, the guy who pushed him should face manslaughter charges. So, if it inconveniences you so much that you'd push someone [possibly] to their death, then you deserve to deal with the consequences. Let's see you rationalize pushing them to the family that's left behind.

it could easily be millions if the bridge has enough traffic.

40% * 120K cars * 1.5 people/ car * $10/ hr * 5 hrs = $3.6 million

i guestimated 40% of the cars would cross the bridge in a 5 hour span as long as that 5 hour span covers either the morning or afternoon rush hour and a brige with roughly the same amount of traffic as the golden gate bridge

thats a laughable equation. though if you add up all the suicide attempts/successes etc in the country you are way over millions
