I witnessed one today on 34th Street, between 7th and 8th avenue. I was walking to Capital One bank and I suddenly had a very weird feeling, heard the weirdest sound that I will never forget, and a body laying on the ground. Someone jumped directly across the street from where I was standing, off a high building. It really shocked me, I had a bit of a panic attack, walked in a daze to my bank, and had a hard time focusing and leaving. Once I walked outside, kept getting paranoid that someone would fall on top of me. I basically stress ate (barely remember the bagel I ate after) and went home directly after. Can’t believe how shaken up it made me feel and I still feel incredibly weird. It was surreal and I will never forget that sound. I feel terrible. Just wondering if anyone else went through something similar and what you did to cope. I also wanted to find information on the person who jumped and it seems there are no reports (I guess that’s normal though that not all suicides get reported). But still, it feels so strange that I witnessed the last minutes of this person’s life, I feel incredibly empty and depressed.
