POLICY WIRE — Seattle, USA — Authorities in Seattle are actively searching for two individuals who carried out a daring and unauthorized parachuting stunt from the Space Needle on Friday. According to police reports, the duo climbed over the glass wall of the 605-foot iconic structure, flipped over the edge, and descended using parachutes.
The Seattle Police Department confirmed the incident, stating that the men bypassed security measures at the landmark. “Two men climbed over the glass wall of Seattle’s iconic Space Needle, flipped over the edge and parachuted down from the 605-foot structure,” a police spokesperson said.
The Space Needle, a symbol of Seattle and a major tourist attraction, has stringent security protocols in place to prevent such incidents. The breach has prompted an immediate review of these measures.
No injuries were reported as a result of the stunt, but the incident has raised significant concerns about public safety and the integrity of security at high-profile landmarks.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the identities or whereabouts of the two men to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, with police examining surveillance footage — and interviewing witnesses.
