[ WP ] A man is standing on the edge of a bridge , about to jump . A crowd of curious onlookers has gathered around him , with many trying to talk him out of it . The remains silent but finally speaks , saying only five words . The entire crowd immediately jumps off the bridge .

He was on guard duty that afternoon. He was just performing the standard duty required of all men on the island. Well, the surviving ones at least. But that's all he was doing - his job. 
 
 No one expected him to get to be the first one to see it. But he was. He quickly shouted out, `` Come quick! Everyone!''. Then he ran as quickly as possible to the wooden bridge some of the survivors had built over the beautiful sea. 
 
 Many on the island had committed suicide before. It was n't uncommon. But everyone did it in their own way. Some jumped off high places, some starved themselves, and some slit their wrists and waited. It also was n't uncommon for them to do it in front of a crowd. They wanted to die honorably. No one wants a cowards death. 
 
 As he leaned over the side of the bridge the crowd gathered. Most figured the cold and lonesome life on the island was getting to him. Not many stayed totally sane after they crash landed there. Most people were confused as to why he would try to jump off such a low bridge, but they figured he was aiming for the jagged rocks instead of the water. A few survivors tried to talk him back down. But most knew he would n't change his mind. 
 
 But then they heard it. The sound of a several motors quietly humming in the distance. 
 
 `` The search teams found us!'' yelled the man triumphantly. 
 
 All the survivors quickly realized what this meant and leaped off the bridge. When they hit the water they started swimming as quickly as they could towards the rescue boats. 
 
 They were finally saved.
