-- NEW YORK (AP) -- A man jumped to his death Friday from the 86th-floor observation deck at the Empire State Building, one of Manhattan's busiest tourist destinations, police said. The apparent suicide forced police to briefly close the landmark on Fifth Avenue to tourists in New York for the holiday weekend. The man apparently climbed over a security fence that encloses the observation deck before leaping off. He hit a landing on the sixth floor, where he died instantly, police said. No identification was found on his body. At least 31 other people have committed suicide at the Empire State Building since it opened in 1931. More than 3.8 million people visit the tourist attraction each year, according to the building's Web site. It is 1,454 feet to the top of the Empire State Building's lightning rod.
really from there your just showing off, you'ld die from the 6th floor, every floor above that is just showing off
Quite true, but don't we all want to go out big? For example, I would not want to die of a "heart attack." I would want to die of a MASSIVE heart attack.
