    Is this just some lucky person out there at the right place at the right time, or some sick twit out for a quick buck?

    I mean really the guy made a living entertaining folks, I find it kind of ironic that he also did it in death.

    Director Tony Scott's deadly plunge off of a 180-foot tall bridge spanning the Los Angeles Harbor has stunned friends and fans, and left Hollywood buzzing about what could have prompted one of the industry's more successful filmmakers to take the leap.

    And now at least one video recording of that jump, taken by an onlookers on a cell phone, is up for sale to the highest bidder.

    And if you had this video, how do you set the going price? Highest bidder? Collectors value?

    Maybe he's actually living in Tahiti with Elvis, Marilyn and Michael Jackson. He is a film maker right?

    I once worked with a guy who's mother owned a bar in Pittsburgh, they kept a calender on the wall next to a a pickle jar and for a dollar you wrote your name on any up coming date. And whom ever was closest to the date that the next person jumped off of that bridge on the street that went over the bar, that person won the cash in the jar.
    Kind of a sick way to entertain your self, but we are talking about Pittsburgh.

    And on a brighter note, what would use for back ground music if you were going to go public with the video?
    Some thing uplifting just seems inappropriate.:busted:

    Which bar? We don't get many jumpers, I can't see that "game" having lasted too long.

    I'm talking in the late 80s, and there were plenty of jumpers back then.
