" A journalist tracked down the few dozen individuals who survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge . . .

He asked them what was going through their minds in the 4 seconds between jumping off the bridge and hitting the water.

​' I instantly realized that everything in my life that I thought was unfixable was totally fixable – except for having just jumped '. "1
