Reasons Why nitrogen isn't used as a method of execution Nitrogen asphyxiation is one of the most benign deaths imaginable. It’s not the nitrogen that kills, but the fact that it replaces oxygen. You die of asphyxiation, but not asphyxiation like when someone pulls a plastic bag over your head. That’s with built-up of CO2 in your system, which is a horrible feeling. No, with nitrogen you exhale all the CO2, so it’s like gently falling asleep. Nitrogen is not some special drug that needs to be produced by the pharmaceutical industry. On the contrary, it’s readily available in the air we breath. The prison can itself install a small nitrogen production unit, if no gas dealer would want to deliver it. It can be administered through a face mask without any risk for personnel. If it escapes it just mingles with the air. It is not toxic too people (we breath it all the time).

This man was about to jump off a bridge in London when a few strangers began talking him out of it.
Then, they wrapped their arms around him and did everything they could to secure him.
The event took place on May 1, 2017, on a bridge over the North Circular Road near Golders Green, North London.
The Rescue: Passersby noticed a man in severe distress who threatened to jump from the bridge. A small group of complete strangers immediately ran over, grabbed his arms, clothing, and legs, and physically restrained him to prevent him from falling.
The Endurance: The group tightly gripped the man and talked to him for nearly two hours. When the Metropolitan Police arrived, they reinforced the rescue by using ropes to anchor the man securely to the bridge railings.
The Outcome: The London Fire Brigade arrived with a fire engine. Crews used a hydraulic lift platform to safely reach the man, lower him to the ground, and place him into an ambulance. He was subsequently detained under the Mental Health Act to receive medical evaluation and psychiatric care.
The Photograph: The viral image capturing the intense, tightly locked hands of the strangers was taken by photographer Nigel Howard. It frequently recirculates on global social media platforms as an enduring symbol of human compassion, unity, and mental health awareness.
