Turkey's president stops his motorcade to talk suicidal man off jumping from bridge (photos)

The president of Turkey, Recep Tayip Erdogan was passing through the 211ft Bosphorus bridge which links Europe with Asia after Friday prayers on Christmas day when he spotted a man attempting to jump off the bridge. He stopped his motorcade to talk to the man whom police had been trying to talk to for two hours. See the photos after the cut...


Footage showed Erdogan's bodyguards bringing the sobbing man, who appeared to be in his early 30s, to talk to the President through the window of his car. After a few moments, the man could then be seen kissing Erdogan's hand before being escorted to safety.


Police had allegedly been trying for almost two hours to talk the man out of committing suicide.
He was said to have abandoned his car on the bridge and climbed over the side railing due to long-standing depression.
The man is as yet unidentified.

BUHARI WILL NEVER DO THIS. RATHER, he will kick that poor man to his death. This is a perfect example of a leader.

Trust Vladimir Putin 2 harness some Dope jokes outta the spectacle and spit em directly in Recep's face and probably tell him 2 kiss his ass.

It was one of the Dopest Nights ever in weeks and probably days 2 cum.
Still reeling over the enchanting concupiscent that redefined my age-long concept of copulation.
I literally had a lukewarm bath in some Squirting juice courtesy of a freak that navigated me 2 Elysium n Back again.
Need 2 still catch some sleep cos the desire for a replication of the histrionic in another realm has never been more stronger.

Wait! can someone living in Nigeria suffer depression sha, especially living in Lagos when there is a lot of groove on the street u can never become bored even if ua broke. Evn in traffic after listening songs from Terry Apako, Dbanj eyin boys e gba Oju e, Olamide and many more. those kyn songs that fingers ur spirit. well I don't blame dis people sha cos how can u listen to One Direction and Adele "Hello" and ur depression level won't rise times ten. With more of stuffs like dis in Naija, thats why they named us the Happiest people on earth.

Paul Maxzuel said...

Mr. President looks positively revulsed. He could not even make it a better PR event for himself by looking the part of a concerned stateman.
