Jon Bon Jovi helped persuade a woman to come off the ledge of a Nashville bridge, police say
Police in Nashville are crediting rock legend Jon Bon Jovi with coming to a woman’s aid on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge on Tuesday night.
Humorously, I talked a person off a bridge while scouting for a bridge to jump off of. It was a bad bridge choice and wouldn’t be a guarantee. I like to assume they chose not to find another.
I’m glad you didn’t choose to find another, either. I hope that things in your life are going better for you now, and thank you for helping the other person.
I how you're doing better, but also this sounds like the start to a fun romantic comedy or bro movie. Two strangers doing research on the best bridge to jump off of becoming unlikely friends.
You may appreciate this then. I told them it was a terrible bridge to use, citing the distance it would take to reach terminal velocity, and the surface of the ground below. It was high, sure, but the ground below was at an angle, and soft dirt. It wasn’t possible to get to the “good spot” because of how the walkway was. The chances of failure were a lot higher than I was willing to risk.
So I think I actually bored them out of it with all my planning 😅
Ironically this might be the best course of action regardless of the bridge. Because it's usually crisis based it doesn't mean they'll necessarily find a different bridge to try it on.
Bojack has the best poem for people that look for the bridge.
The horse?!
Yeah, well it's not BoJack that reads the poem. Secretariat does, before he "dies".
Genuinely one of the best episodes of any show I've ever watched.
How I imagine it went down.
"Don't do it!"
"But I can't go on anymore!"
"But I'm Bon Jovi. You can't kill just yourself in front of Bon Jovi, that's messed up."
"...Fine."Well, he DID say “I’ll be there for you.” He wasn’t lyin’.
He's so old, he isn't even recognizable anymore
"Holy fucking shit is that John Bon Jovi?"
Hero.
wow so he finally aged
Still has a lot of hair though.
Now we need Rick Astley to save someone by reciting never gonna give you up
Woaaah we're halfway there, woaaah, come on down from there
You'll make it, I swear
He did so by playing a cover from Third Eye Blind
