Mianus Bridge Jumpers: OH MY! / Brincadores de el Puente de Mianus: DIOS MIO!

This story brought back memories.  Seems some kids were jumping off the Mianus River bridge over I-95 and they scared motorists.  The police are after them.  When I was younger, and dumber, me and my friends used to jump off that bridge into the river, but we did it from a catwalk just under the bridge – and out of sight from motorists.  Seems that onlookers have got license plate numbers, so GPD is after this bunch.  I guess I’m lucky I grew up back in the day, when cops ignored such crimes.  Actually, they didn’t ignore us.  I do recall being balled out by the Greenwich Marine Police for jumping off not the I-95 bridge, but the nearby New Haven Railroad bridge that crossed the Mianus.  That was a much easier jump, about half the distance.

Spanish Version

Brincadores de el Puente de Mianus: DIOS MIO!

Esta historia trajo detrás muchas memorias.  Parecen que algunos niños saltaron de el Puente Mianus sobre I-95 y asustaron a motoristas.  La policía los busca.  Cuando era más joven, y más tonto, yo y mis amigos también brincamos de el puente, pero hacíamos de un camino bajo el puente – fuera de vista de los motoristas.  Parece que los espectadores tienen números de matrícula, así que GPD sigue buscando este banda.  Pienso que fui afortunado haber crecído durante los días cuando la policía no le daban importancia ha tales crímenes.  Pero tampoco nos ignoraban.  Recuerdo que me regaño la Policía de Greenwich Marine por brincar no de el Puente de I-95, pero el Puente cerca de New Haven Railroad que cruza el Mianus.  Era un salto mucho más fácil, solamente mitad de la distancia.
