Tower bridge, one of the world’s most recognisable landmarks, where people flock to travel across it, under it but not to jump off it.
That’s not the case for Wembley teenage YouTube entertainer known as Carnage, he has jumped off Tower Bridge for his latest YouTube prank.
The Evening Standard has reported that Shah Faisal Shinwari of Wembley, a 17-year-old performing arts student got into complications when his stunt went spectacularly wrong.
On making impact with the treacherous waters of The Thames, he lost consciousness before coming around and swimming to the edge, swallowing a stomach full of sewage in the process.
Rescuers from the lifeboat charity RNLI, spent their already strained resources treating the YouTube prankster before he was taken to hospital.
The RNLI sent a message via Twitter, to warn any other would be pranksters:

Being that it has taken the YouTube prankster to learn from first-hand experience that jumping into the Thames is stupid, he has pledged to make a donation to the RNLI.
