00:01A shocking scene unfolded in New York after a man climbed to the top of the Brooklyn Bridge
00:06and jumped into the East River. Witnesses watched in disbelief as the man leaped from one of the
00:11bridge's towers, a fall of roughly 278 feet. Despite the height, NYPD Harbor Unit officers
00:18pulled him from the water alive and he was transported to a hospital in stable condition.
00:22Authorities later identified the 44-year-old and announced multiple charges related to the
00:28incident. Trauma experts say a jump from that height is typically fatal. One possible explanation for
00:34his survival is the way his body entered the water, which may have reduced the force of the impact.
00:39The extraordinary rescue has quickly become one of the most talked about stories in New York.
