• Youtube (23) posts a video clip from the show, showing Claire (Hayden Panettiere) attempting suicide. We see the image from a camcorder that a male teenager is shooting of her. Claire climbs up what looks like a metal bridge and then “accidentally” falls off it from a great distance. The boy runs over but Claire gets up, perfectly fine, says her name (Claire Bennet) to the camera, and informs us that this was “attempt #6¨.
  

The video later becomes unavailable from youtube due to a copyright claim by NBC Universal.
