TL;DR

Two people wearing masks climbed to the top antenna of the Empire State Building in New York, unfurled a banner reading “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace,” and were taken into custody without incident. Authorities say charges are pending as the investigation continues; experts described the stunt as dangerous and a potential security risk, and video posts appear to show the climbers on a platform near the top.
