Today, in preparation for the London Olympics, a taxi driver jumps off Tower Bridge in protest. The United Cabbies Group has organized a protest because of 100 miles of restricted cab lanes, about one-third of their routes will affect two out of five cab drivers.
The man dove 25 feet from bridge to water without being harmed. He was then arrested after he was pulled out of the river. A spokesperson from the Port of London Authority commented.
“This was an absolutely crazy thing to do. He could easily have killed himself.
I guess the big plunge made his statement.
