Two men jump off the Tobin but survive
Local 718 tweets that two people just jumped off the Tobin; they were fished out of the water.
UPDATE: The Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports the two men - one 35, from Revere and one 31, from Bedford, NH - jumped from the bridge's upper deck around 5:30 p.m. Troopers aboard a State Police patrol boat got the two out of the water and brought them to the North End Coast Guard station, from which they were transported to Mass. General. Both suffered serious injuries and have been unable to talk to investigators yet.
State troopers closed the rightmost inbound lane of the upper deck, where a car belonging to a Bradford relative was found. Traffic was slowed but not stopped during the response. Witness statements and additional evidence from the scene suggests that the men jumped in a shared suicide bid, but motive and execution remain under investigation by State Police detectives assigned to [DA Dan] Conley's office.

how bizarre
the story behind this one has got to be interesting. is the tobin a "walkable" bridge, btw? like the golden gate? been over the tobin many times, never looked around much, though.
Just checked the Massport site. No walkways...
No walking, no way
No walkways, no bicycles, not even a shoulder. It's damn hard to commit suicide from the Tobin
SHOULDN'T WE DO THE HUMANITARIAN THING
Try them for capital crimes, find them guilty, and sentence them to death?

Capital crime?
How is a suicide attempt a capital crime?
