very sad indeed, hope she recovers

 

 

point worth mentioning - 2nd floor sounds not too high - this is not a condo or hotel 2nd floor, it is a miracle she survived a fall like that

There have certainly been a number of foreign men who have attempted/committed suicide at Suvarnabhumi over the years, usually jumping from the 3rd or 4th floor on the day of their departure flight, but I can't recall any woman doing the same. I hope she's ok.

Yes one doing some stunts on the railing before jumping in full light of many travelers.

They then installed those glass walls at the bridges.

But where there is a will...
