The famous tower icon on Paris, France, is planned to get an extra security. Paris is putting an 8th bullet-proof glass wall around the Eiffel Tower to protect it from terrorist. Not only to protect the historical building, but to safeguard the parks around it too. The access to the tower will be decrease become few entrances so it will be easier to be controlled, but visitors still can enter for free. Jean-Francois Martins, the assistant mayor for tourism, said that contributing the wall had already consulted with architects, therefore the wall still suitable with surrounding environment. It is expected to cost around €20m (£17m) and work will go ahead later this year if approved. Martins added : "We have three aims - to improve the look, make access easier and strengthen the protection of visitors and staff." On August 2016, the Eiffel Tower had evacuated after some staff found a suspicious suitcase inside the tower. The glass wall will be expected to pretend the same accident so it won't happen again.

Yeah, I think Eifell must be protects because this tower is the icon of France and a lot of people who is visiting France want to see this tower with their own eyes. But, in the terrorist eyes, it's a good place to throw some bombs. :(:(:(
