re: Is it hard to jump off the Empire State Building?

I seem to recall reading something about the tallest building in Dubai compared to Empire State Building. If you jumped off the skyscraper in Dubai you would free fall for 7 seconds before reaching top of Empire St building.

Not trying to hijacker’s your thread. Just something I recalled reading.

The suicide prevention "net" has been being built for several years now, and I think it is almost finished.

If you go to the top on the tourist trap trip you have to change elevators way up high like at the 80th floor and once I went over and peeked outside of one. No gate, no bars, just a straight drop 80 stories down. So no, it is not hard to jump of the ESB but it is impossible to do from the observation deck. BTW the ESB is a functioning office building, the offices on those floors, those windows can be opened.

You say that like it’s a bad thing

San Fran refuses to put protective devices or nets on the Golden Gate Bridge because all of those crazy people will jump off of downtown buildings instead or fling themselves in front of BART trains, as happens in DC and other metros.

Probably would be easier just to slip on some human shite on the sidewalk there and crack your head open.

My uncle Mortie was going to jump from the ESB, but the $44 ticket price was too much.
