No Suicide Today: "A man tried to jump off a Detroit overpass. Then 13 truckers saved him"

Yes, even unbalanced to the point of considering public spectacle suicide people can be rational enough to realize that with the distance of the fall reduced from 25 to 10 feet they're probably just going to look silly and maybe twist their ankle. So a happy outcome and props to the folks who organized the intervention.

From the Detroit Police twitter feed:

This photo does show the work troopers and local officers do to serve the public. But also in that photo is a man struggling with the decision to take his own life. Please remember help is available through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. pic.twitter.com/RBAlCIXT1o
