You would be too if you knew you were right
Calling me pompous though? You must be new to these parts
You cannot even find any instance where it happened on the Bay Bridge Tunnel...3 people going over in a 5 hour stretch that is. Is there even a multiple in the last 5 years?
I don't have to scour through all the articles to prove my point. I live here, ask anyone who lives here just how regular of an occurrence this is. 7 people died in one day during the second span construction when it was about halfway done, that's certainly more than 3. Also, during high winds, heavy rain, heavy fog, etc, multiple deaths almost always occur. Another instance, I do not recall the year, was when a barge hit the bridge. During the rescue of workers from the barge, an ambulance went over, and the crane lifting the injured barge workers went over. Several deaths with that one.
The incident you linked on the Bay Bridge up there wasn't even the worst on THAT bridge, just the weirdest. Here's what I'm talking about....

The problem down here is that more often than not when cars go over, they aren't recovered, so no telling what the actual death toll is in a lot of cases. It could've been single passenger cars, or a van full of people. That also occurs quite regularly.
***by quite regularly, I am not saying or implying that it happens every day, every week, or even every month, because it doesn't. But when something has happened more than once or twice, it is no longer abnormal in my opinion.
Here's the challenge. I am telling you, not only can you not find it on the Bay Bridge-Tunnel, but you can't find any bridge anywhere where what happened on the Bay Bridge Monday was not an anomaly, because it is unique to see something like that, anywhere.
How is this a challenge, when I've already agreed with you? You really aren't reading a damn thing I type are you?
Yes it is! That is why I have challenged you to support your theory that it is not strange to see multiple jumpers on the Bay Bridge-Tunnel or any other bridge for that matter.
You want to talk about challenges? Show me where I ever said multiple jumpers wasn't strange. I have agreed with you now 4 times on this matter, you just don't get it because you either aren't reading what I'm saying, or because you can't interpret that me agreeing with you means I'm taking your side in the discussion. I swear, I didn't know it was possible to have an argument with someone when you take their side.
Any bridge any where this would be strange if they happened within the 5 hour time span like Monday. You are wrong.
I'm wrong? I'm agreeing with you. Does that mean you aren't taking your own side? Charlie Sheen would love to have you on his tour
Again, I challenge you to prove me wrong! Give me the statistics that say the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in VA has multiple suicides in one day on a regular basis.
Stats like that don't exist, and I never claimed they did. You still keep harping on the manner of the deaths, while I am simply talking about deaths in general. Please comprehend that this time so I can quit retyping the same sentence over and over again. I'm about to put you in time out for not listening.
I challenge you to find where I said otherwise. And if you quote an argument that you misinterpreted again, that doesn't count. Actually read what I wrote, and find me a single instance where I said that 3 suicides in one day off of one bridge were not an anomaly. I never said or implied it, so good luck with that.
Don't insult me when you are the blind one here! You have never taken adequate time to read through and see you did not clearly explain yourself from the start.
I know I didn't, which is why I clarified multiple times, you just apparently don't get it no matter how many ways I explain it, because you still have it stuck in your head that I said the way they died isn't weird, when that was never what I said. If I insulted you, I apologize, it was not my intent. I just argue like a child when someone isn't listening to what I'm trying to explain to them, and I openly admit that.
you did not clearly explain yourself from the start. You rushed in from the start and never truly took the time to back track and thoroughly explain yourself.
WTF? I didn't/ I edited my FIRST POST. Then when you jumped to conclusions based on the pre-edit, I clarified in EVRY post I have made since. You just can't let your original argument go, even though I have agreed with you multiple times. The fact I continue to agree with you and you continue to argue, is proof enough you aren't paying attention.
Instead, you made a veiled attempt to edit your first post when you discovered you were wrong about the bridge. Then when I challenged your anomaly statement, you said "IT" was not an anomaly. That is a poor use of a pronoun instead of being clear.
Really? So at no point through my numerous explanations and clarifications did you find a shred of me explaining what I meant by it? Do I have to requote the dozen or more times in here that I have clarified and agreed with you?
If you had clarified from the beginning that you think it may be an anomaly on the Bay Bridge and not the Bay Bridge-Tunnel as you suggest, you would have been clearer. Still wrong, but clearer.
You mean like here…..
You hear about similar accidents (although not as strange) at least once or twice a year on the bridge.
***Edit: Just googled and apparently there are two. Who knew?
You see the word accident in there? In my FIRST post? I was never talking about the jumpers. NEVER, it was in my FIRST POST. I was talking about the accident.
What about this…..?
When I said similar things happen, just not as strange, I meant that although there are deaths pretty regularly on the bridge, they were not as weird as the way this one happened. I never said, nor implied, that the way they died was not an anomaly.
Or this…..?
I was stating that if it had been the bridge I originally thought you were talking about, that people dying on it would not have been so strange
As you can plainly see, I said people dying, not suicides.
Or this……?
I never said that had happened on any other bridge before. Nor anything similar. Nor did I imply such. So I have no idea why you keep pushing it
Or this………?
I completely get what you're saying, but what you are saying is based completely off of you misinterpreting what I said to begin with. I never said it wasn't an anomaly on that bridge, I said it wasn't an anomaly on the bridge I thought you were talking about. And again, I did not ever say that the events as they happened weren't weird, I said that 3 deaths on the bridge I thought you were talking about was not weird, because it isn't. The manner in which the people died was never what I was talking about, that's just what you interpreted I was talking about, so we've wasted a whole page of back and forth nitpicking for no reason as a result.
How about this…….?
I agree with you. I was never arguing that. I was arguing the misinterpretation that you're still making. I will repeat for clarity that three people dying in one day on the bridge I thought you were talking about is not an anomaly. It is not. However, I will say again that them dying in the manner they did is an anomaly, as I already stated.
There is no way I could possibly make my point any more clear.
then on two more occasions you have tried to tell me it is not an anomaly to see multiple persons going over the side on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel in one day
It isn’t. It doesn’t happen every single day, so I guess if you want to be insanely technical, than it is an anomaly. However, when something happens once or twice a year for decades, I don’t consider that an anomaly. Again, I live here, always have. I don’t have to waste my time scouring through news archives to pull a list of everyone who has died on the bridge.
much less a five hour period. I call BS!!! Prove me wrong!
How about we do this instead……how about you show me where I said this.
