Renovations to the Eiffel Tower
It appears to be official. The French had had enough of their no longer beloved steel tower and planned to carry it away. Of course, we’re joking, but you have to agree that this was probably your initial idea as well.
Historically, they intended to demolish the skyscraper 20 years after it was constructed. They did not do so because Gustave Eiffel equipped it with an antenna and a radio on top, making it important during World War I.
