  • Japan's Suicide Forest
    Cold Open: An alarming number of Japanese citizens have taken a dark pilgrimage to the Aokigahara (“Ah-oakee-gah-hara”) forest, more commonly known as Japan’s suicide forest, to end their lives, most commonly by hanging themselves from tree branches followed by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. An untold number have wandered in and have never wandered out. Beginning in the 1960s, between approximately ten and thirty people each year spent their last living moments in this forest at the base of Mt. Fuji. And the number of annual suicides has greatly increased recently. In 2003, 105 bodies were discovered. Comprehensive data on lives lost in the forest doesn’t seem to have been released since 2003, which is not a good sign. Why here? Why is a small patch of serene forest the second most popular suicide destination in the world, thought to trail only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco? More than 1,500 people have jumped off that bridge and died since construction was completed in 1937. So many that the government has decided to build the world’s most expensive safety net. A stainless steel net, located about 20 feet below the bridge’s sidewalk, will span 1.7 miles of roadway on each side of the bridge and extend twenty feet out over the water. It’s gonna take four years to construct and will cost just over $200 million. It should be finished by 2021. And while that net will certainly make it a Hell of a lot harder for people to throw themselves off that bridge, how do you stop people from taking their lives in a thirty-square kilometer patch of forest? You can’t put a net under every tree.
