Overview
- City surveillance cameras captured a man descending by parachute and becoming entangled on a traffic light at Balderas and Juárez in the Centro Histórico early Tuesday.
- SSC officers detained the individual, presented him to a Juez Cívico as protocol, and he was released after authorities found no administrative infraction.
- The man told police he had jumped from an ultralight aircraft, a claim that has fueled questions about flights over the historic center’s urban airspace.
- Bystanders attempted to help free the canopy before SSC and emergency personnel secured the area and removed the equipment, with no injuries or infrastructure damage reported.
- Authorities described the person as a 36-year-old U.S. national; some outlets have identified him as Miles Pack, a detail not uniformly confirmed in official statements.
