Ughh... this sadly reminds me of one of my last days in Calgary back in the mid 2000's. I was on my balcony on the 32nd floor of Bromley Square (10 ave SW at 1st Street, IIRC). I was having a beer and smoke around 5pm after a hard days work, looking down as usual (I liked watching the 'ants and toy cars' at that time of day do 'the crawl'). Suddenly and without warning a dude from the 30th floor flies out of his apartment, first I though 'did someone just throw him out'? (lots of weird stuff used to happen in that building...), then reality set in. The guy saw me face to face the way he jumped. Surreal for me and I am sure awkward and surreal for him.... (must have thought for a second 'someone is watching me do this from above?!?') Worst part was I could see pedestrians down on the street knowing they had no effin idea what they were about to witness...
Horrible day I took a long time to forget... err.. I gues not really forget...
EDIT... just remembered, I posted a thread on this back on 2006:

Became quite a discussion about suicide more than anything.
