I once ended up in a traffic jam on the ring of Rotterdam, because of a mother duck with 6 little ducklings crossing the highway. The truck driver before me couldn't think of driving them over. 💕

Although it's nice for the drivers to do it, they were actually asked by the police to do it. Police should get credit too.

Sounds like this was arranged by the police - they closed the highway then let just the trucks through to park under the bridge. I'd love to hear if this was a one off brain-wave by an officer or something they'd been taught.

What I don't get is why people don't let us suicide. We should have the choice if we want to or not. Sorry if this offends anyone I just want to put my opinion out there.

Totally agree with you. Without a right to death, a right to life isn't really meaningful. If it offends anyone, they're being selfish and judgmental and likely have never suffered enough to feel like death is their only way of taking control over their misery.

Do they actually save a person with this or simply block their attempt at stopping their misery? I've been through the system and know others who've been through it. There's little to zero help; mostly just drugs and coercion. No one really addresses the cause, just the symptoms.

What a great plan. So sad that the cops had to plan a distraction from suicide attempts from this bridge. It only means that they where forced to implement it because of past happenings.

I'll bet more than one of them was late for a pick up or drop off and didn't bat an eye because the welfare of another person was more important at that given moment in time.

What happens in cases like these is that police flag down truckers and ask them to do this. It's actually rather common, just not usually caught on camera.

Today my 91 yr old neighbour came crying to me because his dear dog suddenly died and he asked me to help him. I ran to little Jack who had no pulse but was warm and tried to resuscitate him to no avail. We cried so much together. It was heartbreaking. But he thanked me for trying. I honestly tried my best. Sorry if this upsets anyone. :(
