@justinfreakin: Daredevil Couple From Netflix Show Scale Empire State Building For Wedding Proposal NEW YORK (WABC) -- A couple wearing black climbed to the top of the Empire State Building's transmitter, and by the time they climbed back down, they were engaged. Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Beerkus, 32, held a pro-peace banner at the very top of the spire and shared some kisses just after noon on Wednesday. It appeared to read, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace." Their banner is a take on a quote frequently attributed to guitarist Jimi Hendrix, but actually spoken by 19th-century British politician William Gladstone. Police took some time to attempt to talk them down, but they apparently had a mission. After spending some time at the top, the couple started climbing down a short time later. It happened as the couple came down from the 1,454 feet spire of Empire State Building. Then, Beerkus proposed to Nikolau, pulling out a ring. After saying, 'Yes,' Nikolau admired her new engagement ring and wore it as she climbed down. Police officers who climbed up the spire met the two and placed them into custody just before 1 p.m. Nikolau and Beerkus are known for their daredevil climbs around the world. In fact, they were profiled in the 2024 documentary "Skywalkers: A Love Story," currently available on Nexflix. #skywalkers #netflix
