FM104 - Man trying to commit suicide - mod note post 1

Leinsterr

This chap is on a bridge about to jump

Mod note:

This topic needs to be kept VERY civil please folks, please make no assumptions about this and just to reiterate a point made already by Nicola:

Folks, we're happy to keep this thread open for the time being-I'd encourage you to refrain from speculating as to the man's intentions.

There are very strict guidelines on dealing with members of the public who may be suicidal and reporting such incidents.

If anyone feels like they need to talk, the Samaritans and Turn2me.org are both brilliant organisations.

What?

internet_user

this is mad, why are they brodcasting it?

dreamers75

Someone is on live on F104 gutter show on a bridge in loughlinstown threatening to kill himself.

boomshakalaka

Prob because of Facebook bullying

P_1

Surely they shouldn't be broadcasting this live?

triple-M

seriously messed up,

Mr Benevolent

FM104 desperate for ratings again. That old story.

Eggonyerface

I don't want to listen to this but can't turn it off

ERPR

It is nonsense of the highest degree

triple-M

is it the bridge over the n11?

DeVore

If this was Soochul Medja, it would in the Dail in 48 hours...

kirving

Didn't hear the start, but he probably rang them looking to go on air. If that helps him, then good. Can't see it being a stunt if the Gardaí are there.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Is he just trying to make a point about the failings of the HSC? He has a serious issue with the guards, thinks they're all out to get him.

Apparently he was on the radio show before talking about his mental health before and Adrian or whoever told him to phone back in anytime he needed a chat, so that is exactly what he's done.

Leinsterr

This is seriously messed up. I'm praying he won't jump.

Its probably a special made bridge in North Wall for the show.

jazz101

Hope there's no young ones listening to this.

Celly Smunt

Has the chap told fm104 not to cut broadcast?

A thread about this was locked already

Is he still on the radio? Seems like a load of utter bollix to me.

Everyone involved is a complete gobshite either way.

delta_bravo

This shouldn't be broadcast. They're looking at a severe reprimand from the bai for this I hope.

What if its not ? And its real?

If anything the retarded comments on here, on twitter and other sooocial (what Devore said) make me wonder about people.

prettyboy81

Not the comments but the act itself and it being broadcast should make you wonder about people.

Well,if he has told them he'd jump if they cut broadcast i'd understand.If he hasn't,fm104 have messed up big time.

Social media might get the blame yet

internet_user

been cut i think

triple-M

the tension

Leinsterr

He's losing it now. I'm shítting myself. Don't do.

jazz101

It's getting serious now. Jesus. I hope this is some stupid hoax.

soc160

Bizarre that they are broadcasting this, would they not cut the feed and leave jeremy talking to him off air... I think Niall Boylan had a similar issue back in the day and he talked the guy out of it, was back on his old show, possibly with 98FM?

delta_bravo

This I getting ridiculous. Cut the show and talk to him off air.

nocoverart

site down?

WatchWolf

Has anyone else been cut off? Can't hear it anymore.

Leinsterr

Thank god he's calmed down

NUTLEY BOY

What bridge is he on?

Triangular

holy jaysis man on a bridge claiming he's about to jump off, then they cut to adds that have the sounds of someone diving into water!!

for the love of dog

FM104 should be ****ing crucified for this.
After the past couple of months we've had in this country with suicide being such a sensitive current topic they should have a bit of ****ing class.

If anything did happen, I hope the producers and presenter could live with themselves knowing they broadcast a man taking his own life just to get trending on twitter.

I find that extremely harsh. I would presume the producers and presenters don't deal with the very often and may not know what to do. Imagine they cut it and then the guy jumped straight away. I feel extremely bad for them as they have been put in a horrible situation.

opticalillusion

Site down, don't think those outside the pale can get it.

Bad form either way.

mr.jingle

He threatened to jump if they cut him off, it's not the first time he's done this either. Must be a horrible situation for the actual DJ in no way is he trained for this stuff can only imagine what he'll be like if he does do it

nocoverart

I don't know if it's my connection or what but i got cut off. Anybody else got cut?

starviewadams

Sprung upon you?that means you put it on air yeah?bollocks excuse.

At a guess it's being so widely talked about that the stream is currently being overloaded and can't take on any new listeners, and keeps cutting out

EDIT: Back now, I'm using the aac stream.
