Unauthorized Ascent of Paris Landmark

Parisian authorities arrested three individuals who illegally scaled the Eiffel Tower before operating hours. One perpetrator parachuted from the monument before capture, while firefighters rescued the others from the structure.

Dawn Security Breach

Security personnel detected the intruders around 5:20 AM after they breached a building to access the 324-meter tower. The site operator has filed a formal complaint for trespassing on a protected historical monument.

Pattern of Dangerous Stunts

This incident continues a trend of unauthorized access attempts at the iconic structure. Last year, another climber forced a full evacuation, while in 2023, a different individual parachuted from the tower before opening hours.
