O Connell Bridge, last night?

Drummerboy08

Anyone know what happened on O Connell Bridge in Dublin yesterday evening? Lots of Fire Engines, Garda cars, and ambulances with blues going. Looked like an RTA, so thats why motors comes to mind (and the regulars in here are knowledgeable in all things in life). Sorry if it should be somewhere else, feel free to move it.

The only reason i ask, is i am curious to know why i was stuck on the quay for ages with loads of blue flashing lights blinding me!

There was a jumper in the water I believe, I certainly saw two of the DFB Swift Water Rescue Paramedics in the water swimming under the bridge. Beyond that i dont know.

Girlfriend's parents were coming through town when the ambulance and fire brigade was still there. They asked an observer what happened. He said that some guy just came along smashed his head off the phone box a few times and then jumped in. I don't know if he survived.......

All that commotion just for a jumper? What colour was it?

All i know was there were alot of Emergency vehicles at the scene. Now that you mention a jumper, there was a few people looking over the bridge.

No wonder he fell into the Liffey. He appears to be legless.

It has been reported that he comes from a tight knit community.

A blonde and a redhead met in a bar after work for a drink, and were watching the 6 O'clock news. A man was shown threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge.

The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't jump, and the redhead replied, “I'll take that bet!”

Anyway, sure enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owed. The redhead said, “I can't take this, you're my friend. I have to admit, I saw this on the 5 o'clock news, so I can't take your money.”

The blonde replied, “Well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump again!”

I don't, but I'm sure someone must have one up their sleeve.

A thread from his jumper caught on a piece of metal hanging from the bridge









Highlighting the thread word, that's how bad this joke is .

Without knowing the full circumstances folks, the humour might not be appropriate.

Sorry for being a spoil-sport but there have been complaints.
