Hi Today my dad brought this article about his uncle Daniel Carone. I was surprised to see it duplicated on your site. I was trying to find out if his jump was ever in a film and if so what one. My information states that he jumped the Brooklyn Bridge twice and the London Bridge once before he died jumping from the George Washington Bridge in 1933

Lorraine, when I was a boy, my grandmother, Frances (who was born in Mt Vernon circa 1900) told me about her brother, the daredevil. She even showed me a newspaper clipping not unlike this one. He died jumping off the Washington Bridge and his body was never found. She said he was a bit of a daredevil and that he had jumped of other bridges. My Grandmother had several sisters; Helen I remember well, but there were 2 others I remember, but not their names.
