Couple detained after conquering 443-meter height in the name of love

Extreme blogger Ivan Birkus proposed to his girlfriend, Angela Nikolau, after climbing to the summit of New York's Empire State Building—a height of nearly 443 meters. The couple unfurled a banner bearing the message: "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
Upon descending, they were detained by the police. The couple faces charges including trespassing, violating safety regulations, and several other offenses. Now, a court hearing awaits them before their honeymoon.
This is not their first dangerous stunt. The couple is renowned for their extreme climbs up skyscrapers around the world, and a documentary film has even been made about their adventures.
