Stop The Tower
When the Eiffel Tower was built, people wanted it down and not up. The reason was that they thought it was a bad idea because it was dangerous. People thought of it as a suicidal building because people can jump off like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
California. Also people thought it can collapse and fall.
This is a picture of The Eiffel Tower on the map.
