Re: Google Maps helped to save a life of a young woman from a suicide attempt....

I saw this news on TV and now came to know you were the one informed authorities to rescue that girl. I want to thank you for your great effort to do the right thing, unfortunately not so many bothering to do.

Today morning I went to drop my daughter to the school. On my way back, I was just passing the Kalutara Bodhiya I suddenly noticed a young woman just dropped her bag, climbed the hand rail and jumped into the river. I was on the other side of the road and I could not do anything, it happened so quickly. 

 

 

The place which incident occurred on Street View

 

I just stopped my car on the bridge and ran towards the hand railing of the bridge. The river was very rough due the over night rain and I am not a good swimmer. I was looking for her for few minutes and I saw she was holding a tree branch and she was crying. I ran to my car and took the phone and I call the 119(police hot line) and informed them. It suddenly stuck to my mind that the Kalutara South police(which is about 300m from the bridge) does not have an emergency rescue team. Suddenly it came to my mind there is a fire station at Kalutara about 300m from the place where the incident occurred. I could not remember the telephone number. Likely I added the information of this fire station to the Google Maps and I quickly searched the Google Maps and rang them. They came to the seen in few minutes and they threw a rope towards the woman. With in few minutes, a Navy boat came and they rescued her. 

 

If I did not have the Google Maps I could not find the telephone number of the fire station and save her life. 

 

Thank you, Google Maps for helping me to save a life of a young woman. 

 

PS: I came to know she is a university undergraduate and she is having a psychiatry issue. 

 

@OSAMA @HelloSamsonR @BishowvijayaP @NareshDarji @ErmesT @LucioV Have you came across something like this in your life?

 

Request: Please add/update all the places in your town where you can get a support in an emergency. It may be already there, but there is a possibility to miss few on the Google Maps or information may be outdated about the places already on Google Maps.
