Love vs Power Climbers on Empire State | Annapolis News

Two climbers pulled off a daring, romantic stunt atop the Empire State Building’s antenna—1,454 feet above Manhattan—wearing masks, black outfits, and no visible safety gear. They kissed while holding a banner declaring “when the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace,” then descended smoothly, one setting up gear and the other snapping selfies after a second kiss and proposal. Onlookers below were stunned, including a Scottish tourist who called it “like being in a movie.” Police arrested both climbers just after 1 PM with no injuries reported. The pair’s unauthorized ascent—unlike a 2023 actor’s approved climb—was spontaneous, dramatic, and still bafflingly unexplained.
