Zulim told ABC: 'We're going to do an extensive follow-up, hopefully talk to family members and find out, if you can, what someone's mindset would be to try to attempt to jump the river.'

The two meth heads in Louisiana who tried to jump a bayou at a draw bridge was better.

I think I found the location on Google Earth. The launching side seems to be 280ft in elevation and the "landing" side is about 230ft. Story Checks out
