Have you guys seen this story? A would-be jumper was contemplating suicide on the Haizhu bridge in southern China. This closes traffic going across the bridge, and some on-looker decides he's sick of waiting for the guy to get out of his way--and pushes him off the bridge.

Luckily or unluckily, depending on the jumper's perspective, authorities were already there and had partially inflated an air cushion.. the guy didn't die, but incurred spinal and other injuries. But can you even imagine.. we live in a world where it would occur to someone that their convenience in getting through traffic is more important than someone's life? See article below.
