Tony Scott's fatal leap off an L.A. bridge was captured on tape by multiple cameras (one showing Tony crouched the moment he began to jump) and TMZ has learned the shots are being vigorously shopped around ... for a price.
Multiple people reached for their cell phone cameras when they noticed a man climbing over a fence on the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro in the middle of the day; and, continued to roll as he jumped off and plummeted to his death.
Some people took photos ... some recorded video. The footage was also captured by a surveillance camera from a nearby business.
TMZ has seen the footage but we did not purchase the material. It's unclear if another media outlet has taken the bait.

Unfortunately I know someone who did it once.
He works in London near a bridge there and was saying he could see a jumper from his office window. He said he started yelling jump from his window and all of a sudden, what had been a 30 year old turned into a 5 year old right before my eyes. I lost all respect for him that day.
I'm no longer in contact with him. This person knew I had suicidal issues and I just wanted to hit him and scream at him. He seemed to think it was hilarious to egg someone on when they were on the edge. He actually seemed angry at the person because they dared to upset other peoples day by wanting to kill themselves and should have just "done it in private without calling attention to themselves". *rage*
