Incredibly some at the airport suggested the man survived the fall, with one posting: "After he fell he was quiet for a minute then started screaming again but couldn’t move. A lot of kids watching."
He appeared to run up to the rail before lifting himself up and launching himself over the side.
A large group were seen watching the row.
