The Vessel is Closed

Due to another suicide they have closed the Vessel.
Here is the article from the New York Times.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/12/nyregion/hudson-yards-suicide-vessel.html
I still have photos I will share.
My condolences to the families of the young people who could find no other way out of their problems.

Your composition is amazing. The news is quite tragic.

Looks rather confusing at first but the patterns eventually do emerge. I suppose plastic barriers will be installed. V

I’m so sorry to hear it closed. Your photo shows how spectacular it is and potentially how deadly. V

Sad to hear of the tragedies.

Life is so full of sadness - I see young people struggling with the COVID situation, not to mention all life's other difficulties. I wonder what they'll do to the Vessel to prevent this happening. Great shot BTW. V

Another super shot of this beautiful, but integrate structure Jane. Sad that it has become a venue for desperate people intent on ending their life.
Pierre Martin16-Jan-2021 23:59
picture and structure are beautiful, very sad news!

How sad. What a view.
globalgadabout16-Jan-2021 22:17
a compelling view, alas tinged by the despair of a person driven to such an extreme decision and act..

Such an amazing view and composition. Beautiful shot. Sad to hear about the suicide. ~BV~

What a tragedy. As for the scene, I'll probably be dizzy all day now after seeing it.
Helen Betts16-Jan-2021 15:33
How very sad to read of another suicide there. From the article it sounds like they'll have to install higher railings before it can reopen. V.

What an impressive structure and great capture. Reminds me of M.C. Escher's work "Relativity. !V

So sad.
Walter Otto Koenig16-Jan-2021 14:48
Love the complexity with this perspective. Great background too. "V"

What a network of passageways...Impressive image of it ! V.

Nothing is more heart rending.
This is a powerful work and captures the feeling of being lost.
Tom Beech16-Jan-2021 14:33
Never thought of that possibility, but looking at the Vessel from that point of view does make it accessible to jumpers.. perhaps after the World gets back to happier times it can be reopened.
joseantonio16-Jan-2021 14:32
such an amazing perspective. So sad this happened...V

Without the lovely light of you other images of this it also looks deadened. What a waste...
