It Was Scary Up There on the Coronado Bay Bridge
Sadly, I think there are a lot of reasons others didn't stop that day. I happen to know two people who got into trouble with the police for stopping to pick up a confused military man who had tried to walk across the bridge, only to realize that the shoulder disappears only a few hundred feet onto the bridge. People are constantly told not to put themselves in danger, especially when alcohol and suicide is involved. Everyone I have ever heard talk about these situations asks that onlookers contact authorities, and do not get themselves involved. This man was certainly brave, and heroic, but it cannot be expected for others to go against what they are taught in this situation.— June 1, 2011 7:01 p.m.
