NFR Why was

[Peabody]

Putney Bridge closed this afternoon?

[Rhys Lightning 63]

Somebody either jumped or was going to jump into The Thames

Poor old Delia, she never did like losing.

:005:

[Berserker]

I've been trying to look it up on the web. I think it was due to my one and only crossing by foot

[FPT]

Someone was standing on the edge of Putney Bridge with a suicide attempt. Called for Police boats etc.

[Jimpav]

Coincidence that Khan went AWOL at half time?

[ross_bamping]

Some selfish bastard tried to top himself on match day, closing the bridge in one direction. And for what I know, he failed.

[Burt]

The bridge was closed in both directions... Assume he was talked out of doing it.

[Pluto]

He didn't jump and was restrained and taken away by police, who handled the whole thing very well I must say.

[Aaron]

There are diving boards taller than Putney Bridge..  I don't think the chap could have been too serious about it.

[RidgeRider]

I'm with Aaron. The times I walked across it, jumping in the river seemed very doable if you wanted to cool off on a hot summer day.

[Deanothefulhamfan]

The jump wouldn't kill you, but the currents in the thames might.... 

[Alan]

The jump wouldn't kill you, but the currents in the thames might.... 

Drinking it would be quicker...
