In 1978, a team of Royal Marines from 45 Commando executed a spectacular "death slide" (zipline descent) from the top of London's Tower Bridge as a public demonstration of their cliff-assault techniques. The 150-meter descent was featured on the BBC children's program Blue Peter, with presenter Simon Groom also participating in the daring stunt. This memorable event showcased the Marines' skills and provided one of the most iconic moments in the television show's history. Credit: @bbc_archive |
