I did not realize you could open the windows of that building enough to jump out. That's a busy pedestrian block. Glad no one else got hurt or killed.

You’d have to remove the stops, which is doable, but you need some tools.
My guess is it’s someone who lived in one of the 3 penthouse units with the balcony, or someone jumped from the terrace on the podium.
None the less, very sad. I used to live there.

Just a Torx screwdriver. Very sad to hear indeed

Does this mean they are going to make windows harder to open?

Oh fuck, I literally walked through here as is happened. Didnt see her jump but I got evacuated from the area as I could hear people scream “she’s dead, she’s dead” I thought it was an active shooter so I ran as fast as I could. Absolutely tragic, I hope access to mental health resources gets better.

Do you know anything else? Was it def 70 Columbus? Was any area blocked/roped off?

Agree. She died. She wasn’t killed.

I don’t know how rlsmedia jersey city verifies their stories but the ones they have did happen. I have not seen the Columbus Drive death in any other sources yet.

I chuckled. Topical and concise.

Tragic news. May she RIP. I had witnessed something similar few months back at Washington blvd. Hope her friends/family are okay.

May this woman rest in peace, sadly there have been a few other jumpers in nearby buildings in the last few years. Makes me sad to think these souls felt this was the only way out.

I was listening to the police scanner when it happened. Insane

That's what they said on the scanner when it happened. I wrote it down. Then they said because of the way she fell it was a possible homicide.

Initially on the police scanner they were calling it a possible homicide.

I live in one of the Columbus buildings. One of my neighbors witnessed it and the staff at Base gym confirmed it happened in front of the gym.
