Anne Arundel and Queen Anne's County units responded to a jumper from the east bound span of the Bay Bridge around 1:30 a.m. Apparently, the guy drove to the center of the span, jumped from his car which was still moving, ran to the edge and over he went. He was spotted by a trucker behind him. The Transportation police notified DNR (for some reason) who then notified AA County to respond. Queen Anne's County also responded, first using their Talkgroup 1136 TAC channel. AA launched a boat (Fire Boat 61) to search but found nothing. The joint AA/QA comms were on AA County TG144 (1E).They launched from Sandy Point Park. (And gave the gate combination over the air - not a good thing.)
The Coast Guard came up on FMARS 154.28 to talk to AA County about communications at the start of the operation. I had never heard them on that freq before this.
Lots of sad events this holiday season like always. Last night we had that murder/suicide worked by AA County Eastern and a very similar event a couple of days before that in Glen Burnie. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a very powerful emotional disturbance in many people at this time of year.
