Oh fun.

Some guy just jumped off the parking garage on Bagby in a suit and tie. Just got a phone call from a freaked out friend who saw it.

eeeeeeesh. Must have lost it all today or something. Reminds me of great Depression stories.

My guess is that he was tired of commuting

Actually there are a lot of financial houses down there, so who knows.

The same thing happened at A&M when I was there. 5-6 stories + gravity is definitely enough to take someone out, and it's low enough to cause a scene.

Heck, one story is enough to possibly take somebody out, although maybe not as quickly. You only have a 50/50 chance of surviving an 11 ft. fall. Yuck.

Must be something up with A&M and that mess. I remember the fall your talking about. I also remember a drunk guy falling from the 7th floor of the old "Tower" residents. He hit a banana tree inside the atrium and only ended up with a broken arm....crazy huh!?
