It makes you wonder what the thought process was - I mean, assuming that they thought that nobody would be around to video, what kind of people would even think of performing such an act?
I don't even know but people keep talking about "a few bad apples" when it comes to police? Here's a few bad apples. Throw them out and make sure they don't turn up in 3 months on the Abbottsford force, or Calgary or anywhere else.

As someone who drove on the elevated portion of the Gardiner on a daily basis, I'd just like to state that the Pattullo Bridge is terrifying and I will never drive on it again.

they at least have a little pylon divider now.

when I was in university I worked a car dealership in Surrey.
I had to bring a brand new Dually truck (the ones that barely fit in a regular lane) to a car show in Vancouver, over the Pattulo.
on the curvy part, I was passing a bus, and a dump truck came barreling the other way.

had now idea how i squeezed through. I closed my eyes and expected to be fired for demolishing this truck.


but yeah, that's a shit bridge.
built in 1937, not really upgraded since


also a favourite jumpers spot.
was coming back from something and the bridge was closed while they tried to talk someone down.
said fuck it, and went to New West to catch a movie while it got sorted out.

I guess they're replacing it so hopefully it doesn't just collapse before then.

Maybe they'll put up the protective netting to prevent the jumpers like Toronto did with the Prince Edward:

The funny thing about that is that was the worst bridge for jumpers and the netting did stop that but there's at least 4 other bridges across the Don River/Parkway that are equally high and deadly and all the jumping just moved to those ones. 20 years later and still nobody's put any netting on them :noidea:

I forgot about his stupidity. I was thinking this was a project you could all do together.
