Posted by Leo. When you stand atop the Eiffel Tower it’s like you’re on top of the world looking down at everyone. The shadow it casts is massive. Here’s some of the history of the tower. It was built for the World’s Fair and they were going to destroy it but someone pointed out you could use the top as a transmitter for radio.
The
radio could transmit all across Europe and was used in WW1. The radio station
is hidden underground and was used by military officers only. The base was used
for one year and after that they decided to keep the tower because it made them
cash. The Eiffel Tower was only supposed to last 20 years and was repaired 18
times with a six foot antenna.
