SO THAT’S WHAT THOSE TERRORISTS WERE UP TO

A study carried out by the New York Academy of Medicine has found that more than one in 10 people who kill themselves in Manhattan are “suicide tourists” who travel to New York specifically to end their own lives. The study also found that most “suicide tourists” choose to end their lives with some drama by taking their lives at famous tourist attractions such as the Empire State Building, Times Square, and the George Washington Bridge (and those World Trade Centers used to be pretty popular). "These places become suicide landmarks,'' said suicide expert Richard Seiden, which "guarantees you a notoriety you may not have had otherwise.” (Agence France-Presse)
