An activist action by the NGO Greenpeace almost turned into drama this Tuesday evening on the lawn of the Allianz Arena before the kick-off of the France-Germany match.
An environmental activist wanted to land on the ground using a microlight equipped with a parachute but injured at least one person upon landing.
The parachutist, whose canopy showed the message "Kick out Oil", hit a cable that supports the aerial camera at the top of the stadium and injured a video technician and an official, according to our reports. information on site.

Can't believe I just caught this on video.
Parachuted into the stadium, got caught in the spider cam and nearly crashed into the crowd.
Hope he's ok!
