Daredevil climbers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus bypassed security to scale the nearly 1,500‑foot spire of New York's Empire State Building on Wednesday afternoon, unfurling a banner and sharing what appeared to be a marriage proposal high above Manhattan.
Photographs taken on 1 July showed the pair clinging to the very tip of the landmark, drawing international attention to the Russian rooftoppers as one image captured a man dropping to one knee at the base of the spire, confirming the romantic nature of the high‑altitude intrusion.
