Yes, I think that guy's name was Gene?

I guess I didn't really think they'd show people jumping. When the first guy went over, I got goosebumps. Every person they showed jumping, I just had to catch my breath.

I did some research on the movie after watching it. The director didn't tell the friends and families he interviewed that he had footage of their loved ones jumping until after he interviewed them. Then he showed them the footage they had filmed. Can you even imagine discovering that this person interviewing you finally tells you that they have the footage in question?

I agree, I got goosebumps after seeing the first guy jump as well. I really liked the story near the end of the man who jumped, but survived. It was really fascinating to hear how his life has changed since the jump and all the struggles he has gone through.

I couldn't imagine seeing footage like that of my own family members. I don't think I could watch.

...or the guy who looked like he was going to climb to the lower level over the rail and lost his footing and fell through...he didn't get his final contemplative moment.

The walkway is above the tracks, although not quite as wide as the tracks. So the edge of the train tracks is only about 3-4 feet further out.
