Two in custody after apparent proposal atop Empire State Building

Two people climbed to the top of New York City's Empire State Building on Wednesday, scaling the tower in a highly-visible stunt that ended in what appeared to be a proposal atop one of the most iconic buildings in the city's skyline. Dressed in black and wearing helmets and masks, the two balanced on a narrow ledge atop the New York skyscraper's antenna, which rises 1,454 feet above midtown Manhattan. The banner, reading “when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace,” waved in the wind. It wasn't clear how the pair gained access to the antenna, which rises well above public areas of the 102-story building. Just after 12:30 p.m., they began to climb down, efficiently picking their way along the latticework of metal to a wider ledge, where one seemed to set up a piece of electronic equipment and got down on one knee. After the two kissed again and hugged, the other person took selfies with an outstretched left hand, as if examining a ring. #News #NewYorkCity READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nat...
