#NBCNews #Florida #Drawbridge
The state of American women.
She probably didnt hear the bell because she was wearing earphones, but what about deaf people, there should also be flashing red signs
Play stupid games win stupid prize can’t feel bad for someone that has ZERO awareness around them
It’s the same with rail road tracks, if you drive around the barriers and ignore the warning sounds/ signs you are in danger of being hit by a train. Simple! Drunk people won’t understand.
Airpods And Noise Cancelation mode most likely
Why is there concrete under a mf bridge….what happened to WATER
Geez just when you thought it was just another regular day. BOOM the road opens up and you fall right threw. I hope she’s OK.
This is horrible and very sad, Eugene levy did a great job telling the story though.
Joe Lopez 🔥😳😍
Felt she did it on purpose
Blind or deaf
How did she not notice that the ground was moving under her? The bells? The fact that a big hole was infront of her? Was she even sentient?
Survival of the fittest. Clowns like her don’t deserve to walk the same earth as us 🤡
Sorry but I would not have been walking my bike if there was a chance of the bridge moving! 😡
Everything weird happens in Florida….always
Opened the bridge after just 6 hours… the show must go on!
She has all the warning signs in the world. She was the cause of her own death. Stupidity can really cost you your life.
Only way this happened is earbuds and watching tik toc its chinas fault
I really feel like there’s more to this story. Clearly there were signs that the bridge was about to go up. And did the tender not see someone on the bridge?
I heard they’re gonna ban the bridge now. It’s going to be demolish.
I found out it was a 79 year old women and she was almost there and then it went up she tried to hold on and a guy riding a skateboard tried to help her but she couldn’t hold on I honestly thought it was a young woman not paying attention because it didn’t make sense 😳😱
That’s so sad, why does it even lift up? What’s it used for?
If she truly had ear buds in, Then let this be a lesson to others to maybe take them out when you are crossing a bridge like this so that you can hear what is going on and run back or something
Listen for a bell… So I guess all deaf people die… Crazy
I am happy about it.
Perhaps the woman was def?
Nah see this why I don’t do bridges😞😞
Did she ignore the bell? Or was she deaf? The poor pedestrian had to watch this lady fall. They’ll care this for the rest of their life.
Just goes to show even bright flashing lights, gates, and noises dont stop people. Some idiots just have no common sense. Lucky she made it this far in life being that dumb
For reals like….how do you not see OR hear anything?
Hey guys, I just want to let you know that Jesus loves you so much that he died for you. He didn’t want Heaven without you so he gave up his life on the cross and rose again. When he did that, he justified us with God, and he paid the full price of our sins, we just need to accept the gift he has given us. To accept this gift, you need to confess that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that he rose again and you will be saved. Romans 10:9-11 says, “9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”” . Jesus is coming back, not to be happy with everyone, but rather he is coming to get his bride, the people of Christ. Jesus will not be coming back in the desert or in secret chambers, HE will be coming back on the CLOUDS! Be ready people, turn to him and repent of your sins. JESUS CHRIST IS KING of Kings, and LORD of Lords!! This is such a sad that that happened, death can creep up on you at any time, so turn to the Lord so you can be sure that you will be in Heaven when you die. The Lord has given up his life so we can be with him in Heaven. Jesus does not promise that your life will be easy if your a Christian, it won’t, there will be trials, temptations, tribulation, but it is worth it, because you will stand in glory with Christ.
Seek holiness and not the things of the flesh. Sports are not more important than Jesus Christ, gifts are not more important than Jesus Christ, NOTHING is more important than Jesus Christ. I’m telling you, he is coming back soon, God bless you all!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Was this where fast and furious 2 was filmed ?
Jesus christ this reminds me of the movie final destination so sad 😞
1000 ways to die. This was her fate. RIP
If she had ear buds in, I wonder what her last song was.
I would of jumped into the water if their was no other way. Sucks this happened.
There wasn’t any water below , it was concrete!
Darwin award
That must’ve been terrifying! May she RIP
They need to build a pedestrians only alternative bridge. There are only a few bridges in this area. Boats cannot take priority over pedestrians
Definitely the Bridge Tenders fault.
How do you manage do even do this lol
Sending light love peace and strength to her family ♡
Why was the footage on this story, at night? Totally dark…when this accident happened at 1in the afternoon?
That draw-bridge operator is about to be in some deep, deep trouble. You don’t lift that bridge until it is completely clear and there is no reason, day or night, that you can’t visually determine from the tower if that bridge is cleared or if someone is about to put themselves in harms way if the bridge lift process begins.
Lmao 🤣
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Again another case? Wasn’t thier one where a mom was going home cause she had a doctors appointment and she was killed by the machine why don’t they stop doing that in the day and check the both sides ?
How are they blaming the biker when they usually send statements police to make sure noones on before they open it. At least here in jersey we have state police that patrol the bridges.
some of y’all need to chill, ok she was kinda careless but relax, that’s someone’s loved one! just say rest in peace and give the family your condolences man.
may this woman rest in peace🙏
I am so scared of those bridges that open up I don’t like going across the Bay bridge
Rip🙏
So the dude dropped her or he didnt make it to her on time?? They never said…
Florida is built different
the only thing guaranteed to offspring is their eventual death.
⚠️STOP HAVING KIDS⚠️
God weeds-out the dumb ones…
EVERYBODY watches CAR CONNECTION!
The architect just lost a bet.
Bicycle safety advocate? Where did they find this guy?
that poor lady
This is a feeling I cannot fathom . The desperation you would naturally feel while also having to come to terms w ur fate …
Wow CHINEDU OPARA you need help
Literally my worst fear
Tragic 😥
Ahhhh Florida man and woman always representing us
So she didn’t pay attention? Got it
You are not surpose to hello. walk on bridge when it is opening.
She broke the law
Someone is getting in super trouble
Condolences 🙏🏿
How did she not realize the bridge was opening? They don’t open fast at all …
Only in Florida
That’s unacceptable
A human lost her life and all I read are comments about what she did wrong, or she shoulda done this, or she probably did this, n she’s so dumb…wtF..? Is wrong w all of u? That was someone’s family/friend. I really hope the asshats , n u know whO u r…don’t have a final destination moment. Rip lady
This is just horrific to imagine, I’m so sorry this happened to this woman and her family.
Wtf
This is sad!!!Here in nyc when a bridge seems like it’s about to lift they close it hours even a day ahead of time.
Is that Rami Malek?
Lawsuit
Her family probably gonna try to sue but something like this. They probably will lose the law suit
May she dwell in God’s kingdom forever.
i love this story.
That is awful. I can’t imagine. They need to figure something out so this doesn’t happen to another person 😞
I’ve seen 2 year olds wandering busy streets in the Philippines, situational awareness starts early and most people aren’t taking full responsibility for their own safety.
Why didn’t anyone try to catch her?
The women was 79
This is simply just a tragedy. No better wish than rest in peace. I guess it’s time for them to put a safety measure to this. A reliable one.
Um..Bridge nets..Hello?….Sorry 4 the ladies lose.. terrible tragedy..
I will never live their. That’s crazy. Why do they have to have a bridge like that? They knew this day will come.
Everyone who was in charge of the bridge, that night, needs to be charged in my opinion.
Apparently it was Casey Anthony 😳😳😳
L
Fhis bridge can be dangerous for people who doesn’t know the sign or know English well. I wouldn’t know their Technique if I didn’t watch this.
I never knew such bridge exists. Disgusting. I feel bad for the woman 💔
Someone has lost their job and possibly sued if not arrested as well
My bet is on noise cancelling headphones…
and the Darwin Award goes to
Look up, and always wear one ear bud. Safety first.
Could you imagine being stuck on top, hanging on for dear life, and then having to slide down if you loose your grip? Like, your skin is gonna be filleted off.
