Well? I guess you would have to have seen it. She tried to help and counsel him and she knew he was troubled. But really what can you do? Call SFPD and say so and so said he was gonna jump off the bridge? What are they gonna do? What can they do?

True that I didn't see it and as such am not fully qualified to comment on her efforts. But still, that I know of suicide prevention is part of the job for police and firefighters.
Furthermore, jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge is something that's fairly common so they have experience handling it and probably have a suicide prevention expert on call who could try to save the guy's life.
I just don't see how calling 911 isn't the obvious play here. If it's too late then fine, but at least she tried.
