• In more news from Paris, an "experienced climber" got to the top of the Eiffel Tower and parachuted off before guards could stop him, The Guardian reported.
The unnamed man landed safely after the leap from about 1,100 feet and was promptly arrested for endangering the lives of others.
"This kind of irresponsible action puts people working at or near the tower in danger," scolded Sete, the tower's management company. [Guardian, 8/17/2023]
