Teenage Girls Suicide Jump

    The pair plunged more than 100ft from the Erskine Bridge shortly before 9pm last night.

    Scotland's Daily Record newspaper is reporting that the pair were teenage girls who were seen holding hands as they leapt.

    They were pulled from the River Clyde near the bridge after a search involving police, fire and rescue services, a Coastguard helicopter and the Ministry of Defence.

    The Erskine Bridge connects Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire and is a notorious suicide spot.

    A Coastguard source told the Record: "The information that we have is that it was two teenagers and that they held hands as they jumped from the bridge.

    "They were clearly in the water for a long time and it is very rarely that anyone lives after a fall like that."


    Holy Shit:(

    Just seen it on Sky news. Terrible. I believe they were young teenagers, what was going thru their minds, God only knows. I wouldn't be surprised that school bullying drove them to it. What their parents must feel wouild be undescribable I'm sure.

    Ah poor things:(

    I find it odd that none of the reports have said they died. Just that they were pulled from the river and that it's unlikely to survive a fall like that. I assume the girl's did die from the jump?

    Very, very sad.

    First line of that report says they jumped to their deaths.
    Two women who jumped to their deaths from a Glasgow bridge reportedly held hands as they fell.

    I can never understand why people think it's ok to make fun of everything posted in here just because the forum is called After Hours.

    Who the hell is Tila Tequila and why is she threatening suicide live on Twitter?

    Doesn't she realise that she can't twitter "I did it!" after she shoots herself?

    No idea who she is, saw it on Rick O'Shea (2fm)'s twitter page and though folks here might know who she is.
    Weird how there was a suicide thread here already too.
