The Falling Man...Habrin, China

[Meatpie]

This suicidal dude is being talked to by a female, presumably to get him to not jump. But it doesn't work out as the dude freefalls and lands on the street below and the female is left looking down.

Harbin City, China, August 8, 2012.

In some of the pictures it looks like she pushed him.

I'll bet he made a great sidewalk-splat!!!

He had enough time falling to anticipate what was coming, to tense himself fearfully for the moment of impact. What a sorry way to spend the last few seconds of one's miserable life.
