San Francisco's landmark Golden Gate Bridge is not only a tourists' favorite visiting venue, but also a hot spot for those potential suicidal people. According to LAtimes, about 2,000 people have jumped from the storied bridge since it opened in 1937. In 2007 only, there were 39 confirmed suicides. This year, 19 people have already ended their lives from the bridge. The somewhat rampant suicidal cases have finally lead the board of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District to make a decision to install a giant stainless-steel netting which was estimated to cost $40 million to $50 million beneath the bridge to prevent the tragical incidents to happen again. But the net will still need extra permits before it can go ahead and is subject to an environmental review before work can start. It is expected to take up to three years to build.
