there’s no indication it was an intentional jump. the article says no note or video and that they found handprints, meaning at some point this person was hanging on a ledge.
so it is misleading to say he “jumped” if it ends up being an accidental fall.
there’s plenty of people who climb ledges in NYC to take photos at night, so would not be surprised if this ends up being entirely accidental as a result of trying to take photos
- neom 3y agoI've been through that building very many times. DigitalOcean NYC2 is there, I've had lunch/dinner/drinks there more times than I can count. You don't just "fall off" 111 8th.
- tempsy 3y agoYeah, and I mentioned that he could have purposefully climbed a ledge to take nighttime photos and tripped. I’ve seen dozens of “daredevil” skyline shots of NYC where people climb rooftops/bridges to take photos. Someone intentionally jumping does not “hang” on the side, they just jump.
- sterlind 3y agounless they have a change of heart? or maybe they're standing on the ledge trying to get up the courage to jump, and slip? a lot of people who attempt suicide immediately regret it (of the survivors.)
- tempsy 3y agook but the criticism is the headline says he jumped when they don’t know, and that a fall is not a jump
