Passer-by pushes suicide jumper

Published: 27 May 2009 y., Wednesday

Haizhu Bridge in China's southern city of Guangzhou has become a popular venue for those attempting suicide. Chen Fuchao was at least the 12th person since last month threatening to jump. Some $300,000 in debt because of a failed building project, Chen sat on the bridge to consider the act, holding up local traffic for five hours.
