A dramatic marriage proposal high above New York City ended with handcuffs instead of a celebration after two Russian rooftop climbers scaled the spire of the Empire State Building. Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Beerkus, 32, reached the top of the iconic skyscraper, where they displayed a banner reading, “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.” Moments later, Beerkus dropped to one knee and proposed, with the couple sharing a kiss before beginning their descent. Authorities later took both into custody, and they now face multiple charges, including burglary, trespassing, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. Officials said the unauthorized climb did not endanger visitors or tenants, but emphasized that the building already provides safe and legal ways to stage unforgettable proposals. The pair, known for daring rooftop adventures worldwide, have previously gained international attention for their breathtaking urban climbing exploits.
