A skyscraper-scaling daredevil told police that he and his girlfriend climbed the Empire State Building’s antenna in New York and unfurled a banner about love and peace because he wanted to “do something special” for their engagement, prosecutors said on Thursday at the couple's arraignment on felony reckless endangerment, burglary and other charges.
The couple, who go by Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, said little as they left court, though Beerkus responded to a journalist's question about the stunt by saying: "We believe in love."
