33-letna Angela Nikolau in 32-letni Ivan Beerkus sta posnetke podviga objavila na družbenem omrežju instagram, poroča New York Post.
"Ko moč ljubezni premaga ljubezen do moči, svet spozna mir," je pisalo na transparentu. Citat je po poročanju lokalne televizije ABC pripisan kitaristu Jimiju Hendrixu, v resnici ga je izrekel britanski politik iz 19. stoletja William Gladstone.
Par se je na vrhu stolpnice zadržal okoli pol ure in zavračal pozive policistov, naj se spusti. Ko sta se z antene spustila na majhno ploščad, je Ivan Beerkus Angelo Nikolau zaprosil za roko in izvlekel prstan. Ta je dahnila "da", nakar sta se predala policistom, ki so ju odpeljali v pripor.
Drzna plezalca
Angela Nikolau in Ivan Beerkus sta znana po svojem drznem plezanju po vsem svetu. O njiju je bil posnet tudi dokumentarni film Skywalkers: A Love Story iz leta 2024, ki je trenutno na voljo na Netflixu, navaja ABC.
Posnetki pustolovščine v slogu filmske gorile King Kong so objavljeni na instagram profilu Angele Nikolau. Ta se opisuje kot neoumetnica, ki raziskuje identiteto, strah in svobodo.
Podvig odgovorne postavil v težak položaj
Nekdanji namestnik direktorja FBI Andrew McCabe je za CNN dejal, da je ta nevaren podvig mestne in policijske uradnike ter lastnike stavbe postavil v težak položaj. "Morali bodo storiti vse, kar je v njihovi moči, da se ju kazensko preganja, saj ne smejo tvegati, da bi to videli drugi in se odločili, da poskusijo tudi sami," je dejal.
"Zadnja stvar, ki si jo želijo odgovorni, je, da bi Empire State Building postal tarča tovrstnega početja, saj se bo to na koncu končalo s kakšno tragedijo," je dodal.
Antena na vrhu Empire State Buildinga oddaja signale za praktično vse lokalne televizijske in radijske postaje v New Yorku, še poroča CNN.
