'Suicide net' approved for Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco bridge officials have approved the construction of suicide-prevention nets alongside the Golden Gate Bridge.
The bridge's board voted unanimously on a $76m (£45m) funding package.
Since the bridge opened in 1937, more than 1,400 people have killed themselves by jumping off the bridge, including a record 46 suicides in 2013.
