Didn't look that high but some investigation shows it actually was.
Traffic came to a standstill in the Cape Town City Centre on Friday afternoon when a man climbed to the top of a pole on the fan walk bridge and threaten to jump.
Fan walk bridge is a pedestrian link along Darling, Strand, Adderley, Riebeek and Waterkant streets.
Bystanders said the crowd attempted to get the man to climb down but he jumped anyway. Paramedics arrived a short while later and attempted to resuscitate him but he died on the scene.
The crowd that gathered said it was a traumatic incident. A man recalled hearing him cry moments before he jumped.
