Asking a pregnant lady to arrive to an ultrasound with a full bladder and then making them wait around for the appointment is cruel and unusual punishment...
The climbing is the least impressive part of what this couple does.
Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus reached the top of the Empire State Building yesterday, dropped a peace banner at 1,454 feet, got engaged on the spire, and climbed down into NYPD custody. Netflix profiled them in the 2024 documentary Skywalkers: A Love Story. She's a former gymnast and the daughter of circus performers. Together they've scaled towers on four continents, including Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, the world's second tallest building at 2,227 feet.
The documentary shows how they actually get up there. They pick locks. They ride staff elevators after learning those often lack cameras. On construction sites they dress as construction workers. In residential towers they dress like the residents. Before a climb they watch staff movements until they know the building's rhythm.
Yesterday's entry point, per the NYPD: a locked maintenance hatch on the 102nd floor observation deck. Investigators believe they studied employee patterns first.
Consider what they exposed. The Empire State Building runs metal detectors, bag checks, and cameras across one of the most watched square miles on the planet. Every layer of that system assumes an intruder wants to get inside and take something. Two people who only wanted to go up beat all of it with patience and a hatch.
Skyscraper security points down. Lobbies, offices, tenants, valuables. The vertical axis of nearly every tall building on earth is guarded by a padlock and an assumption.
The aftermath reveals the business model. They photographed the proposal and the ring themselves and posted before officers reached them. The building's own statement pivoted to advertising its observation deck as a proposal venue. Its social account joked about stealing the spotlight from Madison Square Garden's big wedding week. Eight charges, including burglary and reckless endangerment, and every party involved walked away with content.
They built a career on one insight: buildings defend everything except the way up.
Hold up! Not only did they climb to the tippy top of the Empire State Building to attach a protest banner that read:
"When the power of love beats the love of power, the world will know peace."
They got engaged while doing it!
And the woman was wearing a batman mask! ❤️
