    Kelly said the department worries about grief-stricken mourners jumping into the deep pools at the memorial, in an interview with Esquire Magazine.

    “People might commit suicide,” he added. “We’re concerned about the possibility of somebody jumping in. This is what we’re paid to think about.”

    “We actually have a plan for when that happens,” Kelly said.

    “We have a plan for when it happens.” How about preventing suicides at the site? Oh, no that makes too much sense. Lets just have a plan on after it happens. Only in New York.
