On Monday, May 20, the Eiffel Tower of Paris must have been closed and evacuated after a man decided to climb it. The authorities deployed a bolt operation around the neighborhood and tried to evict the structure. As it was known, it is a young man who entered the monument around the 10:00 of the Argentine time (15:00 of the French time) and that, arriving at the second floor following the corresponding row, would have been tired and would have opted to climb to the top climbing.

According to the first information, this person would not have any kind of element to climb. From the tower’s official account they reported closing and recommended postponing scheduled visits for another date. Meanwhile, the people who were in the structure at the time of the fact were separated in groups and evacuated.
This is not the first time something has happened: in November 2017, a boy threatened to commit suicide by throwing himself out of the tower. Fortunately, a police operation managed to thwart this action. News in development…
