SAN FRANCISCO, California, February 11, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A moving video about a Christian teen who regretted his suicide bid between leaping from a landmark and hitting the water has gone viral.
The 10-minute Goalcast video reviewing the life and the near-death of Kevin Hines has been liked or loved by more than 322,000 people on Facebook and has had more than 316,000 views on YouTube since it appeared in November 2020. It contains a special message for people in despair because of the grinding lockdowns:
On September 24, 2000, the then-19-year-old Hines vaulted over a rail on the Golden Gate Bridge and fell 240 feet in four seconds. The boy had time to regret what he had done and cried out to God to save him.
“It was the single worst action I had ever taken,” Hines said later.
“I thought I had to die, and I was wrong.”
The teen crashed into San Francisco Bay feet first, breaking an ankle and shattering his lower vertebrae. As he struggled in the water, he prayed not to drown.
