Over the Edge

When two Bucks County teenagers leaped to their deaths from a quarry cliff in 1983, they left a quiet suburban community in shock. "That kind of thing doesn't happen here," people thought. Then it happened again. On a special episode, we talk with the author of the original 1984 Philadelphia magazine article Over the Edge [https://www.phillymag.com/news/1984/10/01/bucks-county-suicides-landis-ferdock/]. We talk about the details of this forty-year-old story, about mental health issues and how journalists can write about the topic responsibly.
