When you have friends like some you don't need enemies, is a common line most youngsters use to describe their best friends. But a teenage girl from Washington has some worst 'friends' if we could say that. Jordan Holgerson, 16, is left with broken ribs and lung injury after her friends pushed her off a 50-feet bridge at Moulton Falls, Portland. The shocking incident has been caught on video and the friends seem too uncaring as they are even heard doing a countdown before pushing her.

Instead of helping her, one of her 'friends' pushed her off and she was left hanging and her fall landed her straight in a hospital. She is now recovering and could have died with the fatality of the incident. Tourists in China Fall Off Suspension Bridge as They Jump, Bounce and Disrupt It for Fun.
Take a look at the video of a girl pushed off the 60-feet bridge at Moulton Falls:
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident and the friend who pushed Holgerson has reportedly 'apologised.' The injured girl's mother is also not too pleased with her apology. She was quoted to a news report, "I’m very upset with her. She is an adult, and I’m sure she should have known better. She could have killed my daughter." The video also shows that the girl was denying being pushed but her friend thought it would be a good idea. The girl is scarred and recovering, certainly, no apology cannot make her recover faster.
