Was anyone killed while building the Eiffel tower?

Answer 1

No, there were no reported deaths of workers during the construction of the Eiffel Tower. This iconic structure was built between 1887 and 1889 by Gustave Eiffel's company. Stringent safety precautions were implemented during the construction process to prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of the workers involved.

Answer 2

Only one person was killed by falling off the Eiffel Tower; he was not working but demonstrating to impress his fiancee. Technically there were no unsolved problems and the engineers calculations proved corect. There were also two periods during the construction in which the workers intended to strike for a better pay, but the tower was finished on time.
