An unusual incident occurred on Wednesday at the top of the Empire State Building in New York, where two individuals climbed to the summit without safety equipment, unfurled a peace banner, and got married, according to CNN. Two members of the NYPD emergency unit scaled four ladders to reach the couple 427 meters above the city, safely guided them down, and detained them. The individuals identified as 32-year-old Ivan Kuznetsov and 33-year-old Angela Nikolau, who reside in East Orange, New Jersey, and are known for similar stunts, including climbing tall buildings without ropes or other protective gear. They have been accused of multiple criminal offenses, including burglary, reckless endangerment, damage to property, violation of local ordinances, possession of tools for burglary, unauthorized entry into a building, and disruption of public order. Investigators are still determining how the stuntmen accessed the restricted area not open to the public. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe told CNN that the dangerous acrobatic act placed municipal and police authorities and building owners in a 'serious situation,' stating they will do everything within their power to ensure the
Splezala na vrh Empire State Buildinga in se zaročila tik preden ju je aretirala policija – to je bilo nekaj, kar je zanimalo medij in javnost v novem slovenskem jeziku. V sredo, 1. julij 2026, je 33-letna Angela Nikolau in 32-letni Ivan Beerkus, znani po svojih drznem plezanju po vsem svetu, povzpeli svojo ljubezen na vrh znamenite newyorške stolpnice. Njuna podvig je trajal skoraj pol ure, medtem ko so se zadrževali na vrhu, zavračali pozive policistov in razvili transparent s sporočilom, ki je vzbudil številne različne reakcije.
Podvig je začel z dvema osebama, ki so se povzpeli na vrh Empire State Buildinga, ki je 443 metrov visok. Medtem ko so se zadrževali na vrhu, so razvili transparent, ki je glasil: „Ko moč ljubezni premaga ljubezen do moči, svet spozna mir.“ Sporočilo je bilo v skladu s citatom, ki je pripisan kitaristu Jimiju Hendrixu, vendar je v resnici izrekel britanski politik William Gladstone. To je bilo nekaj, kar je privuklo pozornost medijev in javnosti, ker je bilo v skladu z njunim vedenjem in ideologijo, ki jo spremljajo.
Oba so se zadrževala na vrhu skoraj pol ure, medtem ko so zavračali pozive policistov, naj se spusti. Ko sta se spustila na manjšo ploščad, je Beerkus Nikolau zaprosil za roko in izvlekel prstan. Ta je dahnila „da“, nakar sta se predala policistom, ki so ju odpeljali v pripor. Povzetek dogodka kaže, da je bilo to nekaj, kar je bilo v skladu z njunim vedenjem in ideologijo, ki jo spremljajo.
Nekdanji namestnik direktorja FBI-ja Andrew McCabe je za CNN dejal, da je nevaren podvig mestne in policijske uradnike ter lastnike stavb 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 bodo to tudi sami poskusili,“ je dejal. To je bilo nekaj, kar je poudarilo težavo, ki jo imajo uradniki in lastniki stavb, ker so bile podvigne v takšnem oblikovanju nevarne za javnost in za sami uradnike.
Angela Nikolau in Ivan Beerkus sta znani po svojih drznem plezanju po vsem svetu. O njiju je bil posnet tudi dokumentarni film iz leta 2024 z naslovom „Skywalkers: A Love Story“, ki je trenutno na voljo na Netflixu. Posnetki pustolovščine v slogu filmske gorile King Kong so objavljeni na Instagram profilu Nikolau. Ta se opisuje kot neo-umetnica, ki raziskuje identiteto, strah in svobodo.
Družbeni omrežja so bila plena za njuno podvig, kar je pomenilo, da je bilo to nekaj, kar je bilo v skladu z njunim vedenjem in ideologijo, ki jo spremljajo. Povzetek dogodka kaže, da je bilo to nekaj, kar je bilo v skladu z njunim vedenjem in ideologijo, ki jo spremljajo.

A couple, Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City and got married just before being arrested by police. The pair, known for their daring climbs around the world, held a banner advocating for the power of love over the love of power, a quote attributed to Jimi Hendrix but actually spoken by 19th-century British politician William Gladstone. They refused to descend despite police calls and were eventually taken into custody after exchanging vows. Their actions sparked discussions about the risks posed to public safety and property owners, with former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe warning of the dangers such acts pose to authorities and building management.

A Russian couple, Angelina Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, climbed 443 meters to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, where they displayed a message promoting love over power. They remained at the summit for several minutes before descending to a smaller platform, where Beerkus proposed to his girlfriend. The couple has previously shared photos of their climbs on social media, often posing on the edges of tall buildings or embracing. Despite their claims of climbing safely, police detained both after the climb, as the method used remains unclear. Their actions have attracted a large following online.
Bias read (Center): The article presents the event as a personal achievement and romantic gesture without overt political commentary. While the couple's actions may reflect broader cultural attitudes toward risk-taking or individualism, the framing remains neutral, focusing on the event itself rather than advocating a左
