Couple charged with felonies for Empire State Building climb-turned-proposal

A couple, Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, was charged with felony reckless endangerment and burglary after climbing the Empire State Building's antenna, unfurling a love-and-peace banner, and proposing. The unauthorized climb, which involved a broken lock on a restricted floor, was documented in a Netflix film and resulted in emergency services intercepting them. The proposal and banner display occurred 1,454 feet above Manhattan.
