Summary:
The city of Paris wanted to tear down the Eiffel Tower Gustave Eiffel built for the1889 World's Fair. More than a million delighted people flocked to visit it during the fair. But the officials wondered, beyond being a spectacle, what is it good for? It must come down! But Eiffel loved his tower. He crafted a clever plan to make the tower too useful to tear down by turning it into "a laboratory such as science has never had at its disposal." Could science save the Eiffel Tower?
