Skywalkers Face Charges After Empire State Climb | New York City News
Description
Two thrill-seekers, Ivan Kuznetsov and Angelina Nikolau, are facing serious charges after scaling the Empire State Building’s 1,400-foot transmission tower—unfurling a banner mid-climb and entering through an unlocked hatch on the 103rd floor. Known as the “Skywalkers” and previously featured in a Netflix doc for climbing Malaysia’s Merdeka 118 Tower, the duo often climb without safety gear. Authorities are investigating how they bypassed security, though officials confirm no one inside was endangered. They’re set to appear in court this Thursday.
