Dozens of firefighters ran from Los Angeles to New York for the "Tour of Duty" run, ending in New York on September 11th. But as they were crossing the Brooklyn Bridge around 6:15 yesterday morning, a woman jumped to her death. Several of the firefighters ran toward her, but were unable to reach her before she jumped. Investigators are unsure whether or not her death had anything to do with the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
