Hollywood director Tony Scott jumps to death from bridge

Was he ill, cancer, depression? Family troubles? Financial problems? Fear of age?

A terrible shame, I don't know what drove him to it, and we probably won't for a while, but he had some fantastic films under his belt, including Top Gun which despite its occasional cheese and American made MiGs, was still a good film, and of course, a film relevant to our community, Crimson Tide.

RIP good sir, I hope that you find the peace that you were clearly striving for.

I shall end this post with my favourite part from Top Gun, the opening:

Never good to hear of someone taking their own life.

Well, he made his decision and we should respect it.

I hope he has found the peace he was seeking.

Most sad for his family.
