2 people climb to the top of Empire State Building spire, unfurl banner

[signalmankenneth]

Two people climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and unfurled a banner on top of its spire Wednesday afternoon.

The unidentified people appeared to be wearing masks.


The black banner appeared to reference a Jimi Hendrix quote and said in white letters, "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace."

An NYPD helicopter was sent to the scene and is standing by. The building's observation deck was cleared of visitors as police arrived.



The building spire is 1,454 feet above the ground.

Couple who scaled Empire State Building with banner now face 8 charges

The two climbers now face multiple charges, according to police.

Don't you need to find out their political ideology so you can decide whether it is a simple trespass or an insurrection?

Couple Arrested After Climbing Empire State Building: What to Know

The New York landmark has a history of being scaled illegally—and legally.

time.com

A daredevil Russian couple were arrested and charged after scaling the Empire State Building in New York City on Wednesday, in what appeared to be an elaborate and risky marriage proposal.

The New York Police Department identified them as Ivan Kuznetsov, 32, and Angelina Nikolau, 33, self-proclaimed “rooftoppers” who climb and pose atop the highest buildings without safety nets or permission. The two were the subject of the 2024 Netflix documentary Skywalkers: A Love Story.
