A daredevil couple climbed to the top of New York's Empire State Building antenna on Wednesday, unfurled a banner calling for love and peace, and appeared to get engaged high above Manhattan. The banner read: "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace." Authorities identified the pair as extreme climbers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov, also known as Ivan Beerkus. They were arrested after climbing down and now face multiple charges, including reckless endangerment and criminal trespass.
