Many New York residents have been piling criticism on city officials over heaps of snow and uncollected garbage lining streets after last week's blizzard. But trash bags left on one curbside may have saved a man's life, police said.
The garbage apparently broke the fall of a man who attempted suicide by jumping from the ninth floor of a building in midtown Manhattan Sunday, the New York Police Department said.
Police did not release the name of the man, who was still in critical condition late Sunday.
New York sanitation officials suspended garbage pickup after the blizzard, focusing on plowing instead.
They have said limited trash collection around the city will resume Monday, and that trucks began making garbage pickups at large apartment buildings Sunday.
Give me your hot dog, give me your footlong, but give me now! I haven't had it!!!
Wow you are really mental!
I find it truly amazing that on a professional site such as CNN, when a story is released about some tragic event, instead of having intelligent comments posted concerning the subject- we get the trailer trash posters from hell ! – Isn't there a gossip site for losers some of these people could be writing their trash on, instead of degrading a world reknowned news site?
Imagine what a failure you must feel like to even attempt suicide, then to fail at that? Wow! He should have just done the death by cop thing. Plenty of cops out here in L.A. Would have gladly shot him dead!
hey baby, I'll show you world renowned. afterwards you can make my sammich.
But what's more fun than destroying what little credibility CNN has left?
Everytime I sent my comment CNN blocked cause it's sensitive information to the US government haha ok I guess I'll just post it else where!
Thatis crazy how I can't send my comments. Unreal how freedom is speech is take away in America. Everytime I write the paragraph I want CNN blocks it but when I write a regular paragraph like this one it goes through. I know if they accept my main comment that they have been blocking it will expose the government and the world powers so they can't do it. Oh well, Obama I still think your the man one suggestion since you won't let me speak to the public, can you give the public money like 5 thousand dollars per person. You can exclude millionaires since that will only be 0.5% of their true net worth. We all need that five thousand dollars right now. Oh by the way thank God this guy survived he will be fine but please grow up and get some help! Take care and Obama ny secret is safe with me since you don't publicize things I mentioned before which weren't accepted in this web site.
I'm amazed. Mr Obama can you call me you got my number obviously since your blocking my main comments. Interesting! Thanks fir the 5 k
