In short: They built a bridge in Luxembourg over a small town in 1966, but didn't evacuate the people below. They then painted the bridge dull red, the colour of blood. :/ Over 100 suicides before this film forced the Gov't to actually try to stop the deaths. People could fall through roofs of occupied houses at any time night or day. Rather traumatic.
People should check out the documentary "The Red Bridge" if they can find it.

EDIT: See also "The Sunshine Skyway Bridge" which used to be a hot spot for suicides. 318 deaths, 48 survivors.
