TACO TUESDAYS #91 XL PASDANGEROUS - The Spooky Route
03.9.10
PASADANGEROUS IS ON!!! (BE PREPARED FOR A LONGER ROUTE, 40 MILES)
The first tragedy on the bridge occurred before construction was even complete. Allegedly, when one of the
bridge workers toppled over the side and plunged headfirst into a vat of wet concrete, his co-workers
assumed he could not be saved in time and left his body in the quick-drying cement. His is only one of the
many souls said to haunt the "Suicide Bridge.”
The first suicide occurred on November 16, 1919 and was followed by a number of others, especially during
the Great Depression. Over the years, it is estimated that more than 100 people took their lives leaping the
150 feet into the arroyo below. One of the more notable suicides was when a despondent mother threw her
baby girl over the railing on May 1, 1937. She then followed her into the depths of the canyon. Though the
mother died, her child miraculously survived. Evidently, her mother had inadvertently tossed her into some
nearby trees, and she was later recovered from the thick branches.
