NEW YORK CITY — A couple climbed to the top of the iconic Empire State Building in New York City Wednesday, flying a banner at the top of the skyscraper.
The banner read, “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.”
The incident happened around noon Wednesday and local news outlets reported that the observation deck was later cleared.
According to various news outlets, the two began descending from the top of the building at about 12:35 p.m., and at one point, the man appeared to propose to the woman, who then removed her mask and kissed him.
The couple has since been identified as Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus who star in Netflix’s “Skywalkers A love Story” and have performed similar stunts.
At 1,454 feet tall, the Empire State Building is the eighth tallest building in New York City. The tallest building is One World Trade Center, which stands at 1,776 feet tall.
