Woman falls to her death from rising drawbridge in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida

Terrible way to go. Somebody is definitely getting sued.

Can't even imagine the panic at the moment she realized

Wait....didn't she see the barrier?

How fast is the bridge rising that she couldn't get out of harms way. Bridge ain't accelerating that fast...that's structurally impossible


Something isn't adding up

That's what I'm saying. Like I've never seen a drawbridge that rose extremely fast

Terrible way to go out

yeah, isnt making much sense. maybe she thought she could beat it to the other side & failed or I dunno...

these shyts take time to lift all the way up. Even if you are in the middle... and it started to move, there would be time to either go back or cross over

It sounds like she was walking with her bike and suddenly the bridge started to lift up without any warning. Usually a bridge has all sorts of bells, whistles and alerts to let you know it's about to rise. Either she was negligent and ignored the signs, or the bridge malfunctioned.

That’s not what happened but even if there are alerts ignored, it’s the bridge tenders job to secure public safety. He has full control of the bridge. If someone doesn’t heed imminent warnings, he can’t lift the bridge until it’s cleared.

So either the bridge malfunctioned or the bridge tender fukked up by lifting the bridge when he wasnt supposed to.

The bridge was not supposed to go up people.

'I killed a lady on the bridge': Florida drawbridge tender arrested after 79-year-old woman falls to her death


Sad. She was 79 yrs old. The bridge tender wasn't paying attention and lied about checking before raising the bridge. Her mother was the supervisor and they found incriminating evidence in the deleted texts between the two proving she lied.

Sucks. They got her on manslaughter charges.

that supervisor messed up by telling her to delete text messages.

Feel bad for the cat that couldn't hold on to her, probably fukked him up mentally. That's a lawsuit in his favor as well
