Some guy got arrested for trying to climb the Eiffel Tower on Thursday. An eyewitness said he had a sign that read, “Free Billie Eilish“. (A guy with a similar sign got arrested in April after scaling a news tower in L.A.)
Firefighters helped him down, so he wasn’t hurt. And here’s a fun twist: His stunt ended up leading to a surprise proposal.
All the stairwells were shut down while they dealt with the climber, so a bunch of tourists were stuck at the top. One of them was a guy from D.C. named Amir Khan, who was there with his girlfriend.
He’d been planning to propose later that night, but decided it was meant to be. She said yes.
