　　据报道，湖北武汉一名六旬男子日前爬上了长江二桥斜拉索，站到离桥面约30米的地方，声称要跳桥。

　　Police and firefighters sent for a ladder to coax² the man down, but not before the incident caused a major traffic jam along several main streets, which lasted for over three hours.

　　民警、消防赶到现场救援，并出动云梯施救。这起事故导致多处道路交通拥堵近3个小时。

　　Many people posted updates about the incident on social media. After rescuers communicated with the man, he eventually agreed to climb down the ladder.

　　许多目击者纷纷将这起事件发微博微信朋友圈。经过救援人员与这名男子沟通劝告，他才慢慢同意爬下云梯。
