Aerial protestor strikes at French nuclear site
Greenpeace and energy officials say an environmental activist was arrested after dropping a billowing smoke bomb onto the roof of a French nuclear reactor from a motorised paraglider. Video footage from the dramatic Wednesday morning stunt showed the airborne activist after he dropped the smoke bomb at the Bugey site 35 km east of Lyon and began circling the reactor to start his descent to the ground.
