The failed test of a flying suit that ends in tragedy - Beginnings of the Wingsuit

Eiffel Tower jump

Reichelt stands on the rail of the first platform of the #EiffelTower, where two assistants attend. Reichelt prepares to jump. He hesitates on the brink for some time, with false starts, back and forth, then jumps.

Seen from the base of the tower, Reichelt plummets straight down to his death.

Police and others crowd around the body of Reichelt as it is carried away. They then measure the depth of the hole in the frozen ground made by his fall (15 cm).
