Seattle police are searching for two men who jumped from the Space Needle after climbing past barriers inside the observation deck, according to multiple reports. Authorities say the men climbed over the glass wall of the Space Needle on Friday, flipped over the edge, and parachuted from the top of the 605-foot landmark.
