It was in the paper today (the daily telegraph, 31 May 2006), just a small section.

It mentioned that it was a man, 21, who jumped off floor 24 onto level 5 of the tower building. And it is believed that a teacher and his girlfriend were in the room trying to stop him from jumping.

But there is nothing i can find on the internet, so its only in the paper.

Re: Exclusive news: Girl jumped off UTS tower building!

well my knowledge is as follows:

girl is not a uts student visits boyfriend (uts student). ---> some dispute about break up with girl. girl really pissed off, jumps from lvl 26 throught some window or something and lands on lvl 5 tower verandah (great hall) near building 6.

police cordoned off the area. police everywhere.

There's nothing about this in the online editions of the Sydney papers, theone123, and I doubt that the police would suppress news of such an incident in its entirety (edit: Or maybe they would - see below).

If anyone has something of value to add (such as a confirmation by means of a reputable link), please post away.

i was meant to go to a band comp at manning bar, but i left early around 7pm yesterday

walking towards central there were 5 or more police cars parked outside the tower building around 7:15pm or so

Re: Exclusive news: Girl jumped off UTS tower building!

they're not supposed to report on suicides unless it's a high profile person, which is probably why it's not all over the news/net

Well thats tragic...... but how did he jump? I havent ever been to UTS, but usually tall buildings dont exactly have windows that open on them! :confused:

I dont think you splat like that... its just your internal organs that get stuffed up becuase of the sudden stop of your body but they keep going, externally its not that evident.... or so television tells me.

Apparently he got all angry and threw a chair through the window and then jumped
