There are places on this planet where people persistently commit suicide. A place something rather interesting, even wildly once!

Well, let's start.

"Suicide Bridge" (Bridge of Colorado) in Pasadena

Bridge over the Los Angeles River in a suburb of Los Angeles, Pasadena, and is called - "Suicide Bridge." It was built in 1913 and is a continuation of highway 66. The bridge goes around Arroyo Seco Canyon, San Gabriel Mountains. During the Great Depression jumped away in the bubbling water of the river is almost 150 people. Most tearjerker concerned mother who first threw off the bridge her little daughter, and then jumped her from the bridge itself. She died, and the girl rescued. It was May 1, 1937. Still on the bridge killed 10 people a year. Survivor girl in 1993 was present at the ceremony of the newly opened bridge.





Mihara volcano on the island of Izu Oshima, Japan

The terrible and painful death was waiting for the first brave 21-year-old student Kyoko Matsumoto, when he in 1933 decided to "burn off bad karma" in the fiery crater of an old crater ... He loved his friend Man Masako Tomita, but in those years, same-sex relationships brutally suppressed. From his grief, he could not resist. Tomita told everyone that love with his boyfriend died so terribly, but impressionable Japanese decided that the mouth of a volcano - an ideal place for suicides. (By the way, Tomita was tragically killed two years later, that many considered retribution).



Crater loved. In 1933, 944 people jumped into the crater. In 1934 - even 350. There is even a special entertainment: come here to see how others commit ritual self-immolation.

Ticket sales to the island is a criminal offense, but people still go there and thrust into the fire whitefish ...



Coastal gaps (The Gap) in Australia

So-called strange ridge rocks with crevices on one of the coasts of Australia, near Sydney. With continuity gaps rush looking for eternal rest martyrs since 1800.



The government puts the surrounding towns and lattice fence, guarded place to prevent people jumping from the rocks, but it helps a little. Until 2012, there lived an old man Don Ritchie. It is for his 86-year life saved nearly 500 potential suicides, urging them not to jump or even managing to catch on the way to jump. His fame spread throughout the country.

Are they near the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex. Despite the constant patrolling by the police, there is not at least two suicides per year. The earliest reports of suicides back to the 1600-th year.



As of 2013 there were 253 people rescued in the past 10 years. But many were killed, too. The height of the chalk cliffs up to 162 meters. Survive absolutely unreal. In the 1970s. They died here on average 124 people a year.



Canyon suicide in Provence

Beautiful place, which is associated with the clean houses and aromas of flowering herbs, has dark spots in history. Here is one of the deepest canyons in the world - Canyon Verdon in Provence Park. Suicides are accelerated at high speed in cars and flying in his last journey in the dead pit bottomless canyon. When recently started work on clearing the canyon is found multimeter dump cars mangled buildings and piles of skeletons.



The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco

The bridge was opened to travel in 1937, and then started indiscriminate stories associated with suicide. Since at the present time with a bridge jumped more than 1,600 people. The bridge has been ranked among the places where people are ruining their lives. The US government released a special public service announcements about the bridge, then spent more than $ 76 million dollars to strengthen the fence of the bridge and make special pitches, which is difficult to climb without assistance and that it is impossible to jump alone. The hope was that if a person will not jump one, then tired to climb, and then, suddenly, his friend and dissuade him from doing so. On the bridge, as a phenomenon of our time, the documentary film "The Bridge" (2006).



Tube or London Underground

Scary place pipe, as they call it local, you might say, a crypt for those who died here in different years. Since the opening of branches of the metro in the 19th century there were dying up to 25 people a year, and after the war the number of dead has risen sharply by almost half. And with half of the '60s-'80s years. 64% of attempts to jump on the rails commit young people. Reason: unhappy, unrequited love. Other attempts to make the patients of psychiatric hospitals, which are in abundance are located in the districts of London. Body suicide breaks into pieces, and to determine the full circumstances are stored in special compartments that were built in the underground. In the crypt. In 2012, it was the underground documentary film, which was shown in the territory of the WB. For the edification.



Niagara Falls

Every weekend Niagara Falls became the last refuge for the suicide. Approximately 20-25 people die every year here. This place is the second in the world after the Golden Gate in the number of suicides. Local historians Gromosyak Paul says that 2780 people were killed here during the period from 1856 to 1995. Most often they are thrown into the water on Monday, at four o'clock in the afternoon. Most suicides occur in September. 59% of the victims - men, 41% - women (despite the fact that the whole world lives by suicide complete 24% of women. The female attracts the Niagara Falls, it is not clear.

There is quite a profitable business is booming: in front of the tourist pull dead bodies out of the water. The spectacle is paid, of course.



Suicide Forest in Japan

About forest site VEV already discussed, but in a slightly different context. Therefore, it makes no sense to dwell. But it does not list it as simply unacceptable.



Eiffel Tower

Some are recognized in love, and the other to say goodbye to life. The French government does not wish to make this place became notorious, so any such moments are carefully hidden. In fact, it is the third most popular method of suicide in Paris (after the adoption of the poison and hanging). For the first time here committed suicide 23-year-old boy in 1898. He survived a fall from 60 meters. Another caught the rafters. And one woman lucky enough. She jumped from the tower to forget about throwing her man fell onto the roof of the car with another man, whom she later married.
On this positive note, post and complete.
