Last week a man was spotted on a bridge overpass above busy Interstate 696, just outside of Detroit, Michigan. The man was having family problems and didn’t think his life was worth living anymore. The man’s plan was to jump off the overpass into oncoming traffic to commit suicide. Police were immediately called and they diverted all traffic, except 13 willing truck drivers.\u00a0 These drivers positioned their trucks so that if the man jumped, he would land on the top of a truck, not on the cement below.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the police sent in specialized officers to talk him out of his plan. After four hours, the police and the truckers were successful.\u00a0 The man walked off the bridge and into a counseling center to receive help and support.<\/p>\n
