The city of Paris wanted to tear down the Eiffel Tower! Gustave
Eiffel, an engineer and amateur scientist, had built the incredible
structure for the 1889 World's Fair. Created using cutting-edge
technology, it stood taller than any other building in the world!
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. He
would turn it into "a laboratory such as science has never had at
its disposal". As the date for the tower's demolition approached,
Eiffel raced to prove its worth. Could science save the Eiffel
Tower?
