"Stunt Parachuters Risk Lives on Abandoned LA Skyscraper"
TL;DR
Two thrill seekers parachuted from the roof of an abandoned and graffiti-covered billion-dollar skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles, prompting the city to demand action from the developers to secure the property. The Oceanwide Plaza complex, left unfinished for five years, has become a playground for trespassers and graffiti taggers, leading to increased police patrols and arrests. The city has given the developers a deadline to clean the property, or else the city will take matters into its own hands and send them the bill.
