A shirtless man climbing the Eiffel Tower led to a temporary evacuation of the area around the landmark on Sunday, hours before the Olympics closing ceremony. Seen scaling the 330-meter tower, the man was spotted just above the Olympic rings. Police cleared the vicinity at 3 p.m., and visitors who had been temporarily confined were allowed to leave about 30 minutes later. As the closing ceremony approached, with festivities moving to Stade de France, over 30,000 police officers were on duty in Paris and the surrounding areas to ensure security.
