The Bridge focuses on the large number of suicides that occur each year at the Golden Gate Bridge, capturing footage of the suicides and interviewing family members. Also interviewed are people who have attempted suicide at the bridge, witnesses of the suicides, and a jump survivor. The movie was shot with multiple cameras pointed at a notorious suicide spot on the bridge during 2004. It captured 23 people as they took their final plunge, and then offers interviews with grieving families. Here is the article that inspired this film. www.newyorker.com

@emwaver Or, and I could be crazy, he could just be scratching his ear. Moreover, no one ever claimed faith was logical; at a certain point in theology, reason must leave the equation. If believing that God intervened in that one moment and saved his life keeps Kevin from committing suicide again, what's so wrong about that? It's not as if he's going around saying that the other jumpers didn't survive because they weren't religious enough. Your reaction is uncalled for.
he scratched his ear, means hes lying about the seals in the way he did it. "found out later" lol... come on. someone always has to bring "god" into it. how come "god" didn't help the thousands of others then? what a joke.
its actually about 80mph when they hit the water. still, very fast and like hitting wet concrete.
@mikeyABI hmm lol
i still dont get how some people go over the railings but all the joggers/pedestrians continue walking nonchalantly...
@Rookerman32 if you think you cant decide when people die, then whats your stand on capital punishment?

Great video on that sophism you just made.
People attributing things they don't understand to "God" is really annoying. "God" is a pre-defined entity. What if it's actually "Bob" that saved him? Or anything else? What is beyond the material is not proven. Please don't arbitrarily define it.
@Rookerman32 the naivity is that you call people naive for questioning the bible.600 translations later you gotta question the originality of the book.
@ignoranttwat
Are you ironic? Thanks for dispelling the truth, kid.
@Rookerman32
Wow. Irony.
@Patricio87
From the way he's sitting I'd say he can.
Dude, it wasn't God. It was a seal.
@ITHEREONETHATHASNT
Either you believe the Bible, or continue on being naive.
@Rookerman32 Thats a good bit of fucking jiberish to man or woman capable of killing themselves its not like its a fucking choice they make rationally or with a 'clear' head. They feel like shit and want to die. They dont give a fuck abotu god usually they just want the shit to stop. Plus if you listened to this documentary god is a seal.
and why would God want YOU to survive and have a second chance instead of all the others who jumps. Hes no better than anyone he just got reallllllllllllly lucky. Seals in water in water arent God. San francisco bay is FULL of seals anyway..
Buuuut... i respect and understand why he can think that.
so can kevin walk?
Then I felt a seal circling me, which kept me afloat (!). So it must be GOD. Right.
How does a seal being in the water = God?
Seriously, what a dumb fuck.
how exactly did a seal keep him a float?

"It's hard when you keep messing up and no one in your family believes in you anymore or trusts you..." What? The dude jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge!!!
@Rookerman32 Shut up moron!!
You cannot play God for a fool. He gave you life and it is up to Him when you die. If you make the decision with a clear mind to kill yourself, you have rejected God.
definately a navy seal
