This isn't like NYC where people throw bricks at cars off a bridge. She could have just as easily thrown herself in front of a car or train or pulled a fake gun on a cop.
It’s just not NYC it’s all over the country, you just don’t here about it. I agree should be fence to keep delinquents form killing someone. Yes it might prevent the rare suicide, i personally don’t want hit person in the road that jumped or have the person come through my windshield and kill me. Standards change, just like water towers ladders use to not have cage or padlock plate to prevent climbers.
