Authorities Put Anti-Suicide Phones On Tappan Zee
(CBS/AP) TARRYTOWN, N.Y. Suicide prevention telephones have been activated on the approaches to one of the country's largest bridges in hopes that people intent on jumping to their deaths can be dissuaded by one last human voice.
More than 25 people have made fatal jumps from the Tappan Zee Bridge into the Hudson River in the past 10 years, the state Thruway Authority said.
Read it all, and ask yourself,
"Why wasn't this necessary 20 years ago?"
