Fatal Accident on WB I-580 Snarls Traffic Between Livermore and Pleasanton

Another cowardly act by someone who was in desperate need of attention. I guess the semi he landed in front of gave him all the attention he could handle.

omg lala

I'm sick? What kind of selfish prick jumps off an overpass in the middle of rush hour? I'm sure he leaves behind a devastated family and not to mention the stress he caused the driver that hit him. Should I feel sorry for him? Why? He wasn't murdered, it wasn't an accident. He jumped in a desperate selfish act of suicide. He's a coward and if he didn't want the attention he would have killed himself somewhere other than one of the busiest freeways in the bay area.

Not really scared of Karma. I've never met her.

If you had any brains then you would know that most people who commit suicide aren’t all there so they aren’t thinking about oh let’s see I will do it at a place that is out of the way it’s a spurt of the moment deal

Spur of the moment?

"Hey, while I'm here @ 6:00am I'll climb an 8' tall fence and time my jump for a semi"

Does that sound like a spur of the moment thing? The fact of the matter is that most suicide attempts are a desperate attempt for attention. It's not as if all suicides are attempted by mentally challenged people as you try to point out. Read some literature. Most people that attempt suicide wish they didn't make that choice and those stats come from people who attempted suicide and survived. They feel detached from society and want someone to notice them and/or feel their pain.

That's selfish and cowardly no matter how you attempt to make me look like the bad guy. I didn't ditch my family and responsibilities. I didn't cause the mental anguish to the drivers that witnessed it or were a part of the accident. He did.

Im sorry I agree with you, I have NO feeling for that person, he had no regard how that poor person felt that hit him, and to top it off you are right if he did not want attention h would of not jumped at commuter time and Im sure his poor family.. I hope his soul does go to heaven but it was truley a poor act. Spur of the moment?

There was a chance that it may have happened in front of me. I left my house later than I planned and am thankful for it. I just got a new radiator for my car and would have been really pissed if nut job would have landed on my ride. I would have got outta my car and kicked his dead ass.

WOW truerealist. I think you are wrong on this one. You talk like this guy was attempting suicide. He was Committing suicide. He was not looking to be a star in some of this literature you talk about. He probably never thought about the truck driver. It sounds like the only thing he was doing was killing himself. I dont feel anyone was trying to make you look like a bad guy in this. You did a fine job all by yourself

That's right. He didn't think about anyone other than himself. That's the definition of selfish.

Who's most affected by suicide? Not the guy that jumped. It's the family he left. It's the people that witnessed his horrific act.

The only bad guy in this whole situation is the jumper. Period.

Its Ok that you dont give a shit about this guy. But to call him selfish and a coward is just wrong. I feel sorry for the guy. I read about this more and more everyday. What makes you think he had any gas money to go find another place to kill himself. Have you thought that maybe he lost everything because he only could find $10 a hour job. We are in some bad times right now and some people just dont see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know how hard it is because this year we are in the same boat as a lot of other people. For the last 48 years I have always seen 100 or more gifts under the tree. That was when I was a kid and it never stopped even with my own kid and wife. Well this year it did. We dont even have any fucking money for food. So I dont think we will have any gifts this year. So unlike you I can see why and how he jumped. http://youtu.be/P4Iz74vSixM

Mike, good post. A lot of people are suffering. Right here in Livermore too. I am sorry to hear how rough things have been for you. I hope this next year is better for us all.

Bonus!

I feel bad for the family. I feel bad for the witnesses. I agree that it's a terrible situation but what did it solve? He caused more pain and heartache by committing this unthinkable act.

I feel bad for everyone that this economy has hurt but you haven't committed suicide. You didn't leave your family with unanswered questions. I respect the people that continue to battle through this world. Not so much for the people that make a spectacle of themselves in death.

Many years ago, I was on the opposite side of an interstate highway where a woman knelt on the shoulder literally inches from zooming cars during rush hour. Not distracted by blaring horns, she prayed and sang while her hands clasped together. You guessed it, she chose the moment and leaped.

I want to make it home without drama. I don't want to get hurt, or hurt you. I don't want to see an accident, be in one, or the be cause of it. If there's anytime I don't want to hear about your worries is when I'm behind the wheel. There is nothing uplifting or enlightening from such tragedy.

I have to agree. It is sad, because someone trying to kill themselves this way, has to be out of their right mind. There is no coming back from what you might call an "Attempt" here.

It is sad that they were that desperate and it is sad that the family has to endure this and it is sad that the person he fwll in front of, has to love with that visual for the rest of their lives.

I am the survivor of a suicide parent and it is no attempt when someone puts a gun to their head and pulls the trigger. It is not for attention, it is that they are not in their right mind.

I would venture to say that someone even "Attempting" suicide would not be in their right mind, as suicide is not the answer to any questions that life throws at us.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has or will be affected in this tragedy!

First, I'm not condoning what happened to this person. I understand people have their opinion, but it's wrong to make the assumption that this person was trying to make a lasting impression. While it is possible, I wouldn't make rude comments regarding this sad situation. I lost a friend from suicide a couple years ago and I know that he was really in a lot of pain and choose to stop the pain. He was sick, not a bad person. I'm sadden by comments regarding this because it shows little knowledge of people suffering from a possible mental illness. Yes, it's a horrible situation for all families, but don't make it into something that you don't know the full story.

I agree with the people who touched their hearts it is so sad we never know what is each peoples situation. Come on people its even more sad that some of u guys care more about money. Well I hope when u all die u take it with u.

Nobody's taking it with them - have you EVER seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul????????

I agree.. you dont know what kind of things he was going through so how dare you place judgement! When your mind goes into a psychosis.. maybe you will have learned something from this you indecent prick!

Yes i feel terrible for the guy in the rig... PTSD at the least... i hope he can eventually move forward. I suffer ptsd and its not easy.. thoughts and prayers to him and his family and to the family of the deceased. Suicide is not to be judged, especially by those who dont understand it.. i mean who really does? But im a survivor of a family member who committed suicide and all i know is there is an extreme amount of pain and psychosis happening within.. you cant understand unless you feel it yourself.. these derogatory statements against this guy who jumped is out if ignorance, as u can tell by the sarcasm.. and they have much to learn! Lets just love the ones we love and never hesitate to step in whether they like it or not if they show signs of being out of reality! Thats what we do!
