Manhattan bridge and vessel update

[permanently tired]

Some information I learned from scouting the Manhattan bridge today. It's pretty easy to jump over, the fence is not very high. Depending on where you jump it's between 10-13 stories by my eyeball approximation. You can jump into the east river as a fail safe, however I'm unsure if one should do this since you require significantly more height if you're jumping into water and idk whether or not you would be knocked unconscious on impact. One is a photo trying to estimate the height with an opposing building, another of the river and concrete below. There is no security on the bridge, only a minor sign telling you to seek help.

If you were following on the previous thread I wrote about jumping the vessel was also discussed. I am visiting right now. It is closed and has security. Idk if there is 24/7 security, regardless the most you can get to is the ground floor past the minor barriers. There is a black wooden door and frame that covers the stairwells to the upper floors. Maybe you could try picking the lock if you are an expert or potentially scale to the first floor. I may give an update on the vessel if I stay late to see if security leaves for any window of time

The photos don't appear for some reason, anybody know why?

Don't jump Manhattan bridge, not high enough and drowning is painful slow death.
I am also researching and trying to find a high enough place to CTB. any idea for high rise hotel or rooftop bars in Manhattan ?

I've never had a near drowning experience, but I'm assuming it's similar to choking on water so it will hurt. Idk how slow it is, you would probably lose consciousness quickly

Sounds high enough from what I've heard.

It's about 130 feet I think but over water so ppl tend to die by drowning

Drowning hurts, if you believe their words hold ground then I'd avoid it.

I don't think you reach terminal velocity. But usually when people jump from these hights, and hits the water. It's like hitting concrete. If you die, you will most likely go unconscious and then you drown.

Just so you know what's recommended is 250ft above water.
People do 100 foot jumps into water for FUN.
130 feet isn't even the recommended height for hard flat ground let alone water.

Of course it doesn't matter if you don't mind drowning.
You'll be unconscious within a minute and dead within 10.
