Security personnel were unable to prevent a man from parachuting off the Eiffel Tower early Thursday, but he was arrested after landing safely on the roof of a Paris sports center. Police reported that the jumper was spotted less than a minute after arriving; he then climbed a column and jumped. The company that manages the tower filed a complaint against “this type of irresponsible action, which endangers those working on or under the structure,” CNN reports. The 9am opening of the tower, whose security team has had a busy week, was delayed.
On Monday, two security personnel making their morning rounds found two US tourists sleeping in an area that’s off-limits to the public. And two bomb threats posted online caused the tower’s evacuation on Saturday for several hours.
I may be biased, but this was an acceptable use of illegal parachuting.
