A man in San Diego has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after police were tipped off by his wife that he had left the house with their twin children in tow and was suicidal and in emotional distress. The man traveled to a nearby cliff face where police, alerted to his possible suicide attempt, spotted him and called in for backup. Unfortunately, during the time it took for backup to arrive, the man drove his truck over the cliffs and landed upside down in the water below. As a matter or pure luck, a K-9 officer on his way to lunch responded to the call for backup and arrived moments after the truck careened over the edge. The officer took his 100-foot dog leash, tethered it and then rappelled down the side of the cliff to rescue the two children and the man from the truck. The two children were transported to the local children's hospital with minor injuries.
...some people. It's one thing to do something rash after having a spat with your wife, it's a hell of another to endanger the lives of your kids. I'm glad he survived and will now to get face the consequences for what he tried to do to his kids.
