00:19According to Ynet Global, the dramatic incident unfolded around noon on Wednesday at the iconic
00:26Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan.
00:30The pair, dressed in black sleeveless clothing, climbed onto the building's antenna spire and
00:36stood near the glowing red warning light at its tip.
00:40That is roughly 1,454 feet above the streets below.
00:46From that incredible height, they displayed a large black banner with white lettering
00:51that read, When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.

01:18at the very top of the Empire State Building's spire.
01:21The proposal, carried out hundreds of meters above Manhattan, quickly went viral across social

01:35Around 12.35 p.m., the pair began making their way back down from the tower.
