Woman Plunges to Her Death From Rising Drawbridge 

This happened a week or so ago and I could have sworn there were one or two witnesses ... because I could have sworn there was a guy that had tried to help her ... ? I don't know ... Inside Edition just doesn't have very good journalism ; they always leave out information that one can find elsewhere .

@@gardensofthegods yup there was a man that tried to help her. This shook us Floridians to the core. We have so many of these bridges.

You mean like when they drove over the bridge they had to see her??

Lol, this is funny 😂

Thinking same thing. Absolutely preventable so sad 😭♥️

Yeah there should be sensors on these things So many accidents happen on the daily due to things like this

Sadly, some people don't want to waste money on safety.

Karen sensors

They’ve got better than sensors on bridges, there’s someone literally in the control tower responsible for making sure it’s clear. They should have been able to see her.

Tell folks not to go cross draw bridges just when they 'bout to go up. It's really that simple. Even a 5-year-old understands that.

it should of been you

@@raymodg.8039 who?

why can't you say woman without adding beautiful, just asking respectfully?

They took their responsibility for granted and chose not to watch out for pedestrians that day. So sad for the old lady.

@@knock-knockwhosthere9933 You don't know that at all . The person probably feels horrible . Accidents do happen .

She definitely had mental issues that day to not realize what was about to happen.

@@Tanya37red... True as well. Could use their side of the story and probably any video footage inside the watch tower and the bridge during the mishap.

@@knock-knockwhosthere9933 so what? You're responsible for making sure you can cross. Would you try that when a train is coming in or leaving?

@Savetion 100k RU-vid GOD That's actually your imagination. So, it's your destination. If I think of rice, that's my imagination or vision. It's what my mind is pointing to. What you said was your thoughts, not hers. The Spirit in the body allows you to visualize. So when you speak, that's your vision. Death is a natural process of life. Not an enemy. But, the spirit only has the abilities the owner of the body believed in or in-visioned. Imagination is the father of all desire or invention.

How is this some final destination stuff? Its not known if she cheated death before

seems easy enough with photo eyes

If nothing else someone on duty at all times to sight if anyone is on or near the bridge, with cameras and windows to see all points. It just took one more person on duty. Or someone to go to each side of the bridge to clear it before the gate could be raised. This is horrific and unnecessary. Poor dear lady, to end life like this. Just negligence. It seems like it could be manslaughter even.

@@andromedaspark2241 100%

it rings for 30 seconds then gives you 2 minutes to cross the bridge or get off of it. There's no way she didn't see that the cars were stopped behind the barrier and thought it was okay just to cross it at that moment.

@@LlennZzZz that is not the point at all. There is absolutely no justifiable reason that a person can get into that situation.. ever. There should be someone manning something that dangerous & it should never have happened.

Thank you for this sympathetic comment, I send my deepest condolences to her family and Godbless everyone through Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Holy Name Amen.

He was probably busy on his phone 😓😔💔

I don't know man, its like saying the train didn't see the person crossing despite all the noise and warnings.

It was the operator's fault for not stopping the bridge and his negligence that cost the life, but technically also preventable by the woman as well. She was around 10 feet from the end of the bridge when it began to rise, which means she was still walking after the warning maybe thinking she was going to make it in time.

That’s what I thought. Like where your eyes were ???

It's just a question to why she didn't get off the bridge when she heard the bell ringing

Right... It probably happened all so fast. Considering her age, she may not have been able to maneuver in time. So tragic. I have a fear of bridges.

She should've heard the ding ding

@@kaibrix8089 she was able enough to ride a bike, but not walk across half a bridge in 2 mins? Mistakes were for sure made on her part, nobody is saying she deserved it or its not still horrible, just have questions.

@d their

Right

It 2 minutes before it opens not 60 seconds. Its only 60 seconds after the bell starts ringing that the barrier for cars comes down.

So basically you just admitted you don't go to the gym. A fit person could have easily claimed down by using the railing or simply just wait a couple minutes for the bridge to go down.

She still is an adult and you cannot limit her activities. After she passed the gate that went down there is only audio warnings. A deaf person that was younger could of had the same outcome. At the least the gate operator should have to look at the bridge to see if its clear before opening. Which they had full visual view of and could of avoided her death.

What??

@@jeanniet1972ify Agreed. There should be cameras covering the entire bridge that should be checked each time the operator raises the bridge.

L show some respect

She took the risk trying of crossing it. She did at the last minute. And then boom ! She shouldn't have done it

somebody critically thinking in the comments. thank you, that makes a lot of sense

There should be cameras. The attorney is trying to say she was right at the entrance of the bridge when it started to open. Meaning they would have seen her. She probably became confused and tried to cross away.

Agreed. People in the comments blaming the operator. Nonsense!. If she is a regular user, she would know the times of operating if it's a timed bridge or signs of opening like a boat or several boats waiting to cross

I agree and I mean no harm when I say this but it's no way she got to the top of the bridge opening without hearing the alarms and seeing those guard gates come down colored in red and white how was she at the top where the opening starts if she was supposedly trying to get back or get off it doesn't make sense it sounds like she simply tried to hurry up and cross the opening anyway not get back or get off all she would of had to do was go the opposite way of the bridge opening and I'm sure she would have been fine she had to obviously feel the bridge get steeper and steeper as she kept walking up.

The old lady shouldn't have crossed the bridge, its her fault, there's bells that go off and they're loud, its her decision to cross the bridge knowingly it would open when the bell rang so

The safeguards can lead to the ship crashing. Or the bridge not going up on time

Apparently she wasn't thinking at all if she died on a bridge that opens extremely slowly

She must’ve been walking like an inch per second lmao

Hopefully she was thinking to get tf off, but obviously she wasnt

@@evilpimp7877 yeah I don’t get that, maybe freeze reaction and she couldn’t move

@@PuffKitty Cctv will clear this up, and I would bet all my money she is the person at fault, for having ignored the warning signs & sounds.

(how did she not hear the alarm) Why did she try to cross the whole bridge rather than returning to the original side? Play stupid games...
