Breaking: Suicide-Proof Verrazano Fails To Kill Man

Attention potential suicides — the Verrazano is not the bridge for you:

A male jumped from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge early this morning — and survived. He jumped just before 6 a.m. from the upper level of the Brooklyn-bound side of the span. The man was brought to Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn in critical condition, a police spokesman said.

This comes after a jump back in November failed to kill a 19-year-old Brooklyn man.

Later — the Advance reports that the man actually only fell off a seawall:

A man reported to have jumped from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge yesterday morning actually fell into the water from a seawall in Brooklyn, police have determined.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said yesterday that the man who was pulled alive from the harbor shortly before 6 a.m. was a bicyclist in Bay Ridge who fell after climbing onto rocks at the water’s edge.

What’s more — this bridge definitely should not be fucked with:

On Wednesday, police recovered the body of a New Dorp man from New York Harbor. He had been missing since the car he was driving was found abandoned on the bridge on May 9.

Verrazano skeptics stand corrected!
