the saddest, most beautiful image I have ever seen
 

It was the only photo the guy ever published.

cover of time magazine isn't a bad place for a one time publication :2 cents:

wow, she looks so beautiful and peaceful yet look at the carnage a body that probably weighed 120 pounds did to the car. I'd have expected her body to have gone splat.

suicide over a relationship it says.

86 floors :(

her suicide note, her mother divorced her banker father and abandoned her family.


"I don?t want anyone in or out of my family to see any part of me. Could you destroy my body by cremation? I beg of you and my family ? don?t have any service for me or remembrance for me. My fiance asked me to marry him in June. I don?t think I would make a good wife for anybody. He is much better off without me. Tell my father, I have too many of my mother?s tendencies.?

Pretty sad

Love, doubt, suicide

Sadly common.

It is an amazing/sad pic.

Thats crazy

successful death is successful

Remarkable photo.

she fucked that car up.

I hope nobody in the car was hurt, and that the car was covered by insurance. :helpme

Suicide is tragic, and often/usually unnecessary. It is unfortunate when others have to suffer the consequences, either from viewing the incident, or even having to clean it up. :disgust

ADG

Wow, not sure what to say about that to be honest...

:thumbsup

Da fuck? 86 floors and that's all the damage she did? The average webmaster would've easily flattened that car, making it look like a fucking pancake.

How many seconds would it take for a 120 pound person to fall 86 floors down?

I'm still haunted by the images of the people jumping from the WTC on 9/11

makes an impact yes

same as a 100 pound person...or 300 lbs...thanks Newton

Plot twist: she was pushed out of the window by her husband for not making him breakfast on time.... by M. Night Shyamalan

around 160feet/second

wow... never seen that before, considering whats happened she looks so peaceful

Assuming each floor is about 12 feet high, the person is jumping from 1032 feet up, or about 314 meters. 120 Lbs = 54kg (excuse my Canadian'ness). Not accounting for air friction that person would hit the ground 282 km/h in about 8 seconds, with force close to 166,168 joules.

OK - I am going to regret this - Who is it and what's the story?..

I feel like I should know, but I don't.....

It's incredible that she appears to be undamaged except for losing a shoe. Not even any bloody you can see. Weird. What a sad story, feel sorry for the fiance, having to find out that his wife to be killed herself because she felt she was not good enough. :(

There's good backstory here:

awesome pic!

suicide has a life lasting impact on family and friends.
suicide is a temporary insanity caused by depression, it is NOT a solution.

dude was in teh drugstore, so no one injured etc:

however the story is odd

The really sad and yet amazing thing is the year that was shot, Cars were still made like tanks. The fact that she hit it that hard and did that much damage but shows none to her body, is just amazing.

I have seen many a body after jumping and she looks more posed than any I have ever seen.

The driver of the car was in a near by store.

No doubt! :1orglaugh
