Two Russian daredevils who climbed to the top of the Empire State Building carrying a protest banner before staging a surprise marriage proposal are now facing a long list of criminal charges.
Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Beerkus, 32, were arrested after carrying out the high-profile stunt on Wednesday afternoon at one of New York City's best-known landmarks. Their climb drew the attention of tourists, emergency services, and people on the streets below, while a helicopter captured the dramatic proposal as the pair descended from the spire.
