The Bridge is a documentary that tells the story of the 24 people who committed suicide off The Golden Gate Bridge in 2004. There are many movies that I watch and forget very soon after. The Bridge is not one of those movies.
A 'friend' of mine just got back from San Fransisco and she took some pictures of the bridge. Apparently, they have the phones and signs you see in the pictures below for anyone thinking of taking the eternal plunge.
I just read the Golden Gate's wiki page and apparently a plastic-covered stainless-steel net will be installed below the bridge as a suicide deterrent. The net will extend 18 feet on either side of the bridge and is expected to cost $40–50 million to complete. I guess this means a few more people will be considering a trip Niagara Falls when planning their next suicide.
