Two Men BASE Jump From Seattle's Space Needle After Entering With Tickets
Two men BASE jumped from Seattle's 605-foot Space Needle observation deck on Friday evening after entering with valid tickets. Security footage showed them wearing helmets before climbing over the glass barrier and parachuting down. Authorities have not located the men or their landing site. The pair, described as white men in their late 20s, may face trespassing charges. The Space Needle's observation deck is enclosed by high glass walls but open to the sky, enabling such jumps despite safety risks.
