- A video of the drawbridge in Florida, where a West Palm Beach woman fell to her death. The woman was about 10 feet away from safety when bridge started to rise. A man standing on the other side of the barrier arms grabbed her as she fell but could not sustain her grip, police said. She plummeted more than 50 feet.

My dumb self was wondering why she didn't attempt to roll down the road, rather than fall straight down. Had no idea the gap at the bottom was like that. Poor woman.
Somebody tried to help her. So was this person in the middle of the bridge? How did they survive?
Same shit I’m wondering
The bridge should blocked first to traffic for 1 minute before the normal process starts.
My question would be with all of these drawbridge accidents why is there no tower that is actually higher than 12 ft so they can actually see the whole Bridge? Then actually have a steel gate that a pedestrian or a vehicle cannot get through? With the reported drawbridge deaths through the years, you would also think not only having couple of 30-foot Towers overlooking the bridge you would have one person at each end of the bridge. This is not rocket science, this is draw Bridges, we learn about this in third grade.🔥
Can someone please explain to me why this is not ample time to clear the bridge and get to safety?
Omg, it is 60 feet long. She was 79 years old. Obviously she walked very slow.
@@wanitaumer6423 she should have turned back.
@@wanitaumer6423 she had a bike tho
Because she was evidently oblivious to her surroundings. Smh. I would have immediately heard the sirens and started running.
@@wanitaumer6423 b*******, she was fit enough to be cruising on a bicycle! She probably had her spandex on. Either way she wasn't paying attention
So sad. I know she must have been so afraid. Rest in Him dear lady.🙏🏼
Sad Situation
Amen to that. Oh my goodness gracious this is absolutely a travisti. RIP angel 😇 💔 🙏 for your family and friends during these very difficult times.
I didnt even see her in the video
For people not understanding.
The lady who died was in her 70s (I think like almost 80) she wasn't fast enough to get off the bridge and the bridge isn't to be raised until the operator looks down it and gives the all clear.
No. The family is lying. Clearly there is a bell and plenty of time to turn around. Its totally her fault.
@@willvandermeer4733 NO ITS NOT HER FAULT!!! SHE WAS ALREADY ON & CROSSING THE BRIDGE BEFORE THE ALARM SOUNDED! THE OPERATOR DID NOT FOLLOW PROTOCOL & DID NOT CHECK THOROUGHLY ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR BEFORE RAISING THE BRIDGE! STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM, YOU ARE JUST FLAT OUT DENSE! 🙄
@@willvandermeer4733 Do you realize how far across the damn bridge is!? She tried to make it & wasn’t quick enough!
God forbid if anyone is hard of hearing or deaf. Are there enough visual warnings for those who are already in the middle? Very scary
@@willvandermeer4733 this isn't about her family.
The WITNESSES saw it. The family wasn't even there.
So sorry, My prayers and thoughts for her family.
I would’ve tried to hold on to the metal part and just stand up but when you are 70-80 you aren’t thinking that fast. RIP.
She apparebtly held on for 4 minutes, statement given by the family. So dont act like she couldnt have turned around or walked 1 foot every minute
Exactly
Can someone help me out. I don’t see anyone at all on the bridge, who are they talking about. The only person I saw was the man that came out of the tower on the left and looked around. If the woman was on the bridge, why didn’t he see her? He could have stopped it until she got to safety.
The bridge tender at the time of the accident (?)- was sitting on her arse-inside the tower-she never came out to the balcony to check-standard protocol. Probably on her "stupid" phone.
That's terrible.
Should of hit the emergency stop
From the time the warning bell went off till the time the bridge started to open was about one minute and forty two seconds. If she was already crossing the bridge before the alarm went off, she wouldn't have had much time to get back.
I think she had enough time. The run back to which side she was closest to. Possibly she had headphones in her ear
@@erical5544 She was also almost 80 years old.
okay so why is something not mounted on the pedestrian path that closes the gap?
It can’t close the gap otherwise the bridge won’t be able to open. 😐
@@pinkNperfect What do you mean? Just have a metal plate mounted on the static side extending over as much as it can with clearances so it never interferes with the bridge opening.
🎯
Should put nets to catch falling person. Put them in staggered configuration so bikes or pedestrian traffic can still go through
How long is the bridge??
340 feet
The railing along the side essentially turns into a ladder as it goes vertical - all you'd have to do is hang on and stand. It's too late for her but maybe that can help someone else out someday
She was like 80 years old. That would be pretty hard for an athlete
@@brandonglucas lol all have to do is stand on it and hang on. You don't have to climb it or hang on with no footing 😆
There is literally water all around and it's not that far of a drop. We need video of the incident!
It takes almost 2 minutes from the bell sounding to the bridge lifting. Sad that wasn't enough time for her to get off the bridge.
As long as you step on railing like a ladder, there's no way you're going to fall down unless very strong wind kills you. Why did she just hold on with her arms?
I believe she was desperately trying to hold on ? i think she was elderly an probably very weak nevermind frightened to death, literally im sorry only its the truth. I can't even imagine the horror that she must have endured ? lord have mercy.
She could of rested both of her feet on the leg of the railing to maintain her strength
Shes 75 years old already. If she’s just strong enough to hold for more than a minute do you think she won’t do it? She there also a bystander that helped her but the help wasn’t enough to get her off in that situation
rest in peace poor woman
I aint see 💩
Americans never cease to surprise us
Oh now the attendant walks on the balcony, sorta closing barn door after horse is gone.

Thank you so much … that clears so much up. I was thinking she must have been 10 feet from from the end where the drawbridge opens to fall that far but didn’t think about the opening at the end where the drawbridge lifts up.
@Michael St John exactly, there is ample warning to start running and shouting and making noise if you hear an alarm going and you feel The bridge start to move.
Here is he followup story, woman who fell to her death identified: www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/2022/02/08/woman-who-fell-death-west-palm-beach-bridge-identified/6702194001/
I honest to God almighty don't understand how anyone can disrespect this poor senior citizen ,who probably fought as hard as she could have ? some people are just absolutely heartless lord have mercy on your souls.
So. She manged to hold on for 4min but it took 2min for the bridge to open completely?
Umm NO. Just 1 minute of warning bell was actually 40 seconds. The bridge began lifting at 1:43.
idk how many 80yr olds you’ve seen walking in your life but they’re about as fast as a snail. Also the guard should have seen her because they should have checked, also she was directly in front of the windows.
Amen to that. The poor woman was probably desperately trying to hold on only she must have been very weak nevermind frightened to death. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. My heart goes out to her family and friends 💔 this is absolutely absurd.
She challenged the system and paid the price. 😧
She was already on the bridge crossing when it opened, this is NOT HER FAULT.. It is 100% the bridge operators fault for not following protocols & checking properly to make sure nobody was on the bridge so pls dont victim blame
New info just came out that the operator lied to police, she didn’t do proper check. Which should be very obvious otherwise this wouldn’t have happened.
Totally her fault
I also believe that too!
Was she hiding behind her bike when the bridge attendant came out to check for a cleared bridge. Saw only the bike and opened the bridge anyway. Make it make sense.
I don't see where was she on the video.
it's a video of the same bridge, not the incident that happened..
That’s why the sign says “no pedestrians allowed beyond this point while opening and closing of a bridge”. RIP woman. had she followed the rule, it wouldn’t have happened.
Uhm you do realize it happend when she was on it, so be quiet with the “following rules”
Horrible accident but she was definitely the only one to blame
No, the bridge tender is not supposed to start lifting the bridge until everyone is cleared of it. They did not do their job
