2 US Children Survive 100-Foot Fall After Father Jumps Off Bridge

Two US Children who are aged one and three years old have been found alive after their father jumped off a 100-foot high bridge in New Jersey with them in his arms.


BBC reports that the father, John Spincken intentionally leaped off the bridge with the children in his arm after an argument with his wife. During the argument, he threatened to hurt both himself and the children before leaving with them. Police tracked him to the bridge by his mobile phone and found his vehicle there.

It is believed that the children were saved by tree branches. The children are being treated in hospital for serious but not life-threatening injuries.
