A 17-year-old boy slipped and plummeted to his death from the popular new 6th Street Viaduct in Los Angeles, after climbing the bridge as part of an apparent social media stunt, according to police.
The youth’s body was found at about 2 a.m. Saturday on the eastern side of the span, which has become a troubling magnet for gunplay, dangerous stunts and careless online clout-chasing since it opened about a year ago.
The teen, whose name has not been released, was taken to LA County USC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said Tuesday during a meeting of the Los Angeles Police Commission that the victim lost his footing and fell “when climbing upon one of the arches, in order to post, apparently, a social media broadcast.”
The bridge opened in July 2022 and instantly became a city landmark.

I wish more of these social media prank/stunt people would fall off of bridges.

Wille coyote stopping mid air and then plummeting to earth came to mind when I read this.

His parents will probably sue the city for $100M. And win.

His dad claims it wasn’t a social media stunt in this article but he never says why it happened.

Police were sent to the bridge around 2 a.m. Saturday and found the boy, who was pronounced dead at a hospital. The family identified him as Anthony Luna.
Anthony slipped and fell "when climbing upon one of the arches, in order to post, apparently, a social media broadcast," Moore said Tuesday during a Los Angeles Police Commission meeting.
On Thursday, Anthony's father, Paul Luna, expressed his frustration with Moore, saying he has seen video of the fall and said his son was not climbing the bridge to post it on any online sites. "The chief of police, they're stating that Anthony did it for a video stunt of some sort, maybe likes or something, but that's 100% false," said the father, who spoke with ABC7 via Zoom. "He didn't even care about social media."
The father said his son didn't even have his phone on him at the time. He did point out, though, that with all the problems the city has had with people trespassing at the bridge, he's surprised little has been done to make the bridge safer.

This one's a Darwin Award. The other one's a tragedy. It's all a matter of how close you are to the situation.

How about teach your kids not to do dumb shite like climb bridges. No one’s fault but yours and his.

At least that is one thing Baton Rouge has going for it.
