Pasadena Suicide Bridge Sux!

Posted by patBenatard in Loving LA, whateves on January 10th, 2008 @ 1:41 pm

So I was waiting to meet with my adviser to go over some finance-ez this morning and her assistant informed me that she needed a moment before meeting with me because she had just witnessed someone jumping off the Colorado Bridge on her way to work, yikes! Moment of silence for the John/Jane Doe… I remember hearing about the bridge when I lived in Pasadena and how it’s notorious for jumpers. I guess it has been nicknamed “Suicide Bridge” ever since it was built in 1912, especially after there was about 50+ suicides during The Great Depression.

I came across this site and it has some pretty interesting urban legends about ghost that haunt the bridge and the dried up Arroyo Seco Riverbed down below. - Source Weird California.

    Watch the movie “The Bridge” to see the footage of 20 people jumping of the Golden Gate over the course of a month.
