Confusion and delays at Orlando airport after TSA agent falls to his death
An off-duty Transportation Security Administration officer fell to his death Saturday from a hotel balcony inside Florida's Orlando International Airport, officials said, sending confused travelers scattering past security checkpoints unscreened and causing flight delays.
There were varying descriptions about what happened. Orlando police said a man in his 40s jumped, in an apparent suicide, from the Hyatt Regency Hotel onto an atrium floor in the main terminal at about 9:30 a.m. ET.
TSA spokeswoman Jenny Burke identified the man as an off-duty TSA officer, and said he fell from one of the multilevel hotel's balconies, which overlooks an area where people line up for one of the airport's security checkpoints.
[...] Trista Eaden told Spectrum News 13, a CNN affiliate, that she was waiting in line for screening when she heard a loud bang. "Then I saw the TSA agents standing up, and all of a sudden they just told us to run, to just go through the screening," Eaden said. The TSA said that several passengers scattered past the security areas without screening. All passengers at gates 70 to 129 had to be rescreened, the airport said.

The depression that results from having a fucked up life is called Reactive Depression. That kind responds well to Psychotherapy.
The depression that results from my own Bipolar-Type Schizoaffective Disorder is called Endogenous Depression. That kind occurs for no apparent reason; simply leading The Good Life won't prevent it, nor will continuing to live The Good Life stop that depression once one experiences.
Such depression is MY NUMBER ONE SYMPTOM. I've spent quite a lot of times dwelling over how to take my own life.
For Endogenous Depression, one requires medicine.
