Thursday evening, witnesses reported seeing two men jump from the Ballard Bridge. Despite an extensive search on land and water, firefighters and police were unable to locate them. Now a My Ballard reader has discovered this video on YouTube — dated in August of this year — which shows two men jumping from the bridge (please note: offensive language in the video).
The video shows two men jump from the same location as witnesses reported the men jump on Thursday: south of the center of the bridge, on the west side. They both swam to the dock and quickly ran to the south side of the Ship Canal. A bubble over the video exclaims, “Let’s go before we are arrested!” The clip says the two men are named “Frenchie” and “Smilie,” showing their photos. Again, the video is an earlier date, so it’s unclear if this is a repeat performance, copycat or entirely unrelated. (Thanks Silver!)
