    I'm hearing someone just jumped off 1100 Louisiana's parking garage. Is this legit? If so, horrible.

    I haven't heard or seen any emergency vehicles drive by.
    Someone should go there and check it out.

    He is jumping off a 1100 ft building. Yes he is. Luckily the concrete pavement broke his fall. Here's your sign

    Whatever happened to the guy who jumped from the inside of that hotel in the galleria?

    I keep hearing about these suicide attempts but never any real reports

    You mean the Hyatt downtown a few months ago? There was a thread about it but I never saw anything in the news or paper.

    That would be the 1100 block, not 1100 feet.

    Here's your sign.

    You are right, typically suicide jumpers have a high success rate, for dying. For condoning stupidity, here's your billboard.

    How do you know it's a suicide jumper??? Maybe he's just a jumper. I bet these jumpers hate always being labeled as a suicidal. I can see it now.

    Random guy: Hey, don't jump, life is too precious!
    Jumper: What? No! You got it wrong. I'm just a jumper.
    Random guy: Oh, okay. Carry on...

    i was working on the 16th floor at the heritage plaza building when i heard the sirens. looked out the window to see the body covered by a sheet. lots of police.


    this is what i heard from somebody on the same floor, that saw it happen: apparently, the guy was on the phone on the top level pacing back and forth by a brown pickup (looked like a chevy). after he got off the phone, he jumped feet first.

    i'll spare the other details.

    Of course he jumped feet first. I've heard of any other way of jumping w/o feet.
