eyewitness: "My daughter and I were at the site of the attempted suicide for almost the whole time and we were so impressed with the NYPD rescue unit that responded to the call and all the other officers that cordoned off the area immediately and kept calm and control of the area. The officer, Brian Glacken, who negotiated with the young woman for 45 minutes was so calm and wonderful . He got her to sit down --she had initially been standing on the ledge-- and then and kept her talking to him the whole time.He very quietly and slowly moved closer to her over the period of time so that he was close enough to make that final run and leap and save her life as she became more agitated and was just hanging off the ledge on one small part of her hip -with both legs dangling off of the edge.As far as we could see the inflatable safety net was NOT ready yet to be able to catch the girl when Glacken made the lunge to save her. It was a calculated risk for sure but he must have felt that she was getting close to jumping and he moved with lightening speed to save her."
