throwback jump story: 03.30.25, facebook post - 08.26.62: Hazel Rooks attempts to jump off the skyway, but is prevented by a passerby. then on 01.07.64, at 41, she jumps off the skyway and succeeds at ending her life. comments: 03.30.25, Clare B., See.... when someone wants to end their life they will do it. None of this bs is going to stop them. They need to allow assisted suicide again. Those who truly feel the need to do it should have the right. Not for me but some out there can't get past the mental stress of life. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ 03.30.25, Wendi M., Exactly!!! They made a beautiful bridge ugly. If someone wants to jump, Tampa airport has a really high parking structure. 03.30.25, Clare B., sad but true. We're too busy keeping the mentally ill around. They don't want to be here. They know it. Drugs are worse for them. Ugh. Ugly world for them. I get it but I don't. But everyone should be able to decide. top of this article • more throwback stories |
