Ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, the symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, is suffering from various eccentricities. Following various terrorist threats, an American tourist fell asleep drunk, and this time, a man jumped from the Eiffel Tower with a parachute.
According to foreign media such as AFP and BFM on the 17th (local time), a man in his 20s with a backpack containing a parachute climbed the 330m tall pillar of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France at around 5:30 am that day. The man, who climbed to a height of 280m, jumped down around 6:50 am.
After landing at a stadium about 100 meters from the Eiffel Tower, the man put his parachute in his bag and hid in the bushes, but was arrested by the police on charges of endangering the lives of others.
“This kind of irresponsible behavior puts the Eiffel Tower and the people who work under it at risk,” said Sete, who manages the Eiffel Tower, in a statement.
Seth had to delay the opening of the Eiffel Tower because of the man and filed a complaint against him with the police, claiming that he had lost 30,000 euros (about 43.74 million won) in operations, the daily Le Parisien reported.
Meanwhile, there was a bombing threat on the 12th at the Eiffel Tower, which was visited by 5.9 million people as of last year, and on the 13th, an American tourist fell asleep drunk.
