No sooner than the one above get resolved, now Ch 8-WFAA is reporting another possible jumper, threatening suicide by jumping off a bridge, has forced the closure of Hwy 183 @ Amon G. Carter Blvd, in both directions, just off the south end of DFW Airport. That's right on the borderline of several jurisdictions, where parts of Irving, Euless, and and a small piece of Fort Worth come together.

Sounds like it is on Fort Worth TRS, East Patrol, Talk 1.

They are reopening 183 now. The ramp that exits to the south entrance to the airport is staying closed.

Maybe this guy will just get it over with so that he doesn't inconvenience a bunch of people for hours on end like the last you know what.

News story on the Star Telegram site here. Not much details, looks like it was just a quick update, mentioning both incidents.

I'm too far for good reception of Ft Worth, so missed the action on their system.

There was basically no action that I heard for either incident. It is all very underwhelming. There are much more interesting things to listen to.
