This video will at once break your heart and offer you hope for humanity. A construction worker on a bridge climbs down to comfort a man threatening to jump.

Sometimes all we need is someone to give us a hand and a hug.

A distraught man, who got out of his car and climbed down on to the girders of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge seemed poised to jump. But some workers on the span won over his trust while trying to talk him off the bridge.

Soon, one of the workers lowers himself to the man, and at the risk of his life, takes his hand and embraces him. That was enough to get the man off the bridge and hopefully to the help he needs.
