A shocking incident unfolded in Seoul, South Korea, yesterday, as British national free climber George King-Thompson attempted to scale the Lotte World Tower, the world’s 5th tallest building, without any equipment. Alerted by British citizens who spotted him, authorities intervened on the 72nd floor and took him into custody. Previously known for climbing The Shard, the tallest skyscraper in his home country, King-Thompson now faces a detailed investigation into the incident.
