Such a sad news. It’s really tragic someone go through this. I know the incident could be unrelated but it is also a good reminder the human cost of decisions.

The fed taking decisions for the economy, companies taking decisions to maximize shareholder value and ceo pay, etc. all have huge impact on people’s lives, some of it is visible, while some of it is not.

The article says no note, no video, and they found handprints. This was nearly midnight at an outdoor terrace in the office. I guess I don’t see how anyone can say he “jumped” on purpose yet when at some point he must’ve been hanging which could have been a result of tripping on something.

  I worked somewhere in midtown. We had access to a small roof above the main terrace. We were up there drinking after a party at 2 AM, sitting on the wall 8 stories up. I'm thinking don't fuck up because if you lean back, there's nothing between you and Sixth Avenue. This is one of my "I could have died" moments.

    Yes could have been a drunken fall, or someone who climbed up a ledge to try to take some nighttime photos and tripped which I’ve seen plenty of times on social media especially in NYC.

Wouldn't having a barrier low enough someone can trip and fall over be a recipe for a lawsuit? I imagine the barrier was high enough planting hands would be the natural way for most people to get on top or over.

    Which is why my main theory if it ends up being accidental is that this person purposefully climbed up a ledge they weren’t supposed to climb to take skyline photos. I’ve seen dozens of “daredevil” images on social media where people climb rooftops and bridges in NYC to take photos of the skyline at night. And someone intentionally jumping does not hang on the side, they just jump.

  You keep posting this same point over and over in this thread. This “oops he tripped” variant is in really bad taste. You pan the article for going beyond the facts we know at this time and then come up with your own unfounded speculation…

Not trying to be a jerk here, but this is not a good reminder of any of those things you listed. We have literally 0.0 reason to think that any of those were factors.
