Noticed a fella at the very top of the Tyne Bridge (and I mean the top)

He seemed to be there for ages.

Then....the poor bugger jumped. He ran and jumped. It was unreal, like a scene from a movie. My heart felt like it stopped, utterly horrific

Don't suppose the poor sod survived

The Chronicle covered it and he did indeed survive. One of my friends on Facebook got a photo of the guy mid-jump (see attached).
