P. S. for Eiffel Tower

While we were standing in line, we watched what we thought was a rescue training operation on the tower.



The helicopter swooped right up to the side, and the we saw a fireman standing in the doorway when it flew away.

It turned out that a young man had committed suicide by jumping the night before, and now a young woman was emulating him. Workers on the tower managed to grab her, but couldn't drag her back, so the chopper team plucked her off and whisked her to a hospital. (There was an article in the paper, and then I found more info on line.)
