Nazca-Style Debacle…Reckless Greenpeace Publicity Stunt Goes Awry! 2 Hospitalized… “No Regard For Safety”

A 38-year old German Greenpeace activist definitely wins the idiot of-the-day award…as the environmental organization’s stunt damn near killed people!

Click here for video made by a Playboy Germany editor, who was in the stadium at the time of the incident. Another angle here. Also video below…

The opening European Cup match for the French and German national teams was about to start at Munich’s Allianz Stadium when suddenly a paraglider flew in from the sky before briefly getting tangled with a steel cable and then swerving uncontrollably across the fans and crash-landing on the pitch.

Moron of the day. Hoping to get lots of attention and drawing millions in donations, this Greenpeace activist wound up injuring two fans and crash-landing on the pitch before a televised European Cup football match between Germany and France. Image cropped here

Two fans suffered head injuries and had to be treated at a nearby hospital. The German DFB football organization now promises legal consequences for the “reckless stunt”. The outcome narrowly missed being much worse.


Greenpeace blames “technical problem”

Greenpeace Germany apologized for the botched bid to send its climate-rescue message. A spokesman tweeted: “We sincerely apologize to the two people who were injured during the #Greenpeace action yesterday.  The pilot wanted to drop a balloon with the message ‘Kick Out Oil’ into the stadium, but then had to make an emergency landing because the hand throttle control of the paraglider failed.”

Anti-terrorist police sharpshooters held fire

German authorities were not amused by the brazen publicity stunt. Though Greenpeace insists they had notified the police just prior to the stunt, authorities say they never got the information a paraglider was about to fly in.

Moreover, it was only because of the Greenpeace logo that police anti-terrorist sharpshooters did not open fire.

“Criminal offenses”

Police spokesman Andreas Franken said the activist was apprehended, but was later released. The Greenpeace activist, 38, is now under investigation for the criminal offenses of obstructing aviation space, bodily injury and trespassing. (Reckless stupidity, however, is still not a crime in Germany).

“Crazy acts”

Franken added, “We have to note that a large number of people were endangered, both for the people in stadium and for the pilot himself. Greenpeace here disregarded the risks of serious injury”. The environmental organization seemed to even willing accept collateral damage if that’s what it takes to get the message out and grab attention.

Greenpeace, once darlings of the German media, have since reaped some criticism and condemnation from the media. T-online.de for example commented: “We can only hope that the activist will be punished accordingly. And that Greenpeace will refrain from such crazy acts from now on.”

Will probably get off easy again

Skeptics, however, assume that the reckless activist and his Greenpeace organization will get off easy though – as they always do. Many say that if something similar had been carried out by a COVID lockdown protester, or a Trump supporter or an anti-vax activist, there would surely be loud media calls for prosecution for attempted manslaughter and terrorism…arguably deserved.

Big Oil thanks loyal customer Greenpeace?

What’s also rather remarkable and hypocritical: all the gear employed by the Greenpeace activist – parachute, clothing, etc. – were made out of or through the use of hydrocarbon fuels. Even the ultralight likely used hydrocarbon fuel for its power. And what was used to transport the paragliding activist above the stadium? Did he flap a pair of wings?

    Here in the UK

    http://www.ppginfo.com/page29.html#:~:text=%28c%29%20The%201000%20feet%20rule%20Except%20with%20the,horizontal%20radius%20of%20600%20metres%20of%20the%20aircraft.

    “(b) The 500 feet rule

    Except with the permission in writing of the CAA, an aircraft shall not be flown closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure.”

    It goes on.

    I used to go paragliding, I’m told that the CAA in the UK will go to great lengths to find those that transgress the rules.

    Icarus had wings, no motor. If Greenpeace had used waxen wings, maybe they would have better luck. Still this is a heatwave right now, maybe this Icarus hit a stadium thermal.

    What’s the betting that nothing will be done to Greenpeace by the German government except for them to be told that that was very naughty and don’t do that again.

    “Moreover, it was only because of the Greenpeace logo that police anti-terrorist sharpshooters did not open fire.”

    Terrorists now know how to get into a stadium. Just fly a Greenpeace Flag covering the bomb.

      That’s why it is easier to think that the police had precise orders not to shoot and therefore that there is a silens agreement between the green oriented CDU – Grüne- Spd state-mafia and these organisations, like greenpeace and so on.

      They can steal keys, fly over a stadium and are NEVER punished.

      It seems electors agree cause they always vote the same parties.

  5. Gerald the Mole

    The German police should be investigated for lack of due diligence for failing to open fire.

    Both ‘The Law’ and the ‘News’ is whatever the global elites decide it is nowadays. Imagine if it hadn’t been Greenpeace, but some conservative equivalent – anti-EU or anti-abortion say. It would have made headlines around the world, national leaders would have flocked to condemn it and both the perpetrator and the organisation’s leaders would be spending a long time in prison. No doubt they’d have called off the match too, just to ratchet up the drama.

    I don’t expect Greenpeace to encounter any negative consequences beyond maybe a polite request not to crash next time.

    “Kick out oil”….

    Just wondering, was his propeller running on diesel? Are the propellor blades made of some sort of plastic? Chute and cords are nylon. His helmet and clothes (other than his jeans) are fossil fuel-based. His communication device also seems to be made of plastics.

    Kick out oil…. Hypocrites.
