Russian pair detained after proposal atop Empire State Building
On July 1, Russian nationals Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus were taken into custody after climbing the Empire State Building without any safety equipment to get engaged. The duo gained fame through the 2024 Netflix film 'Skywalkers: A Love Story,' which chronicles their relationship and daring exploits. Their history of high-altitude climbs includes scaling the 1,957-foot Goldin Finance 117, which remains the tallest unfinished skyscraper in China.
