I,OOOFT. LEAP TO DEATH
MAN JUMPS FROM EIFFEL TOWER Another suicide, the sixth this year, has been added to the list of those which have taken place at the Eiffel Tower. Visitors are not allowed to go right to the top of the tower without being accompanied by an official guide. When this guide was absent a youngish man made his way to the highest platform, about I,oooft. from the ground, and threw himself over. A strong wind blew the man into I:he iron girder work, through which he crashed until he went through the roof of the restaurant on the first platform, 800 ft. below. His body landed on a table which a waiter had cleared a few seconds earlier. There were no visitors in the restaurant at the time.
