Yeah, every damned time! 😖😱🫣
I can imagine the conversation about who’s going to be the one to go up there and drag them back down! 🫨

that feeling of your testicles withdrawing up into your body? 😀
I think that even if I was offered a genuinely life changing amount of money to climb up there I just couldn't do it, I'd freeze up.
Obviously they haven't scaled the whole building but that's not really important. Getting out of a service hatch or such and scaling up that last bit of the tower.
Nope.

idk the super wide angle and camera position made it hard to get a good idea of the TERRIFYING height and precipitousness.
I think thats a marriage proposal at about 00:32. Good work, fella!

(and it was - BBC article text below)
A couple dressed in black masks appeared to get engaged atop New York's Empire State Building on Wednesday.
The pair climbed to the top of the famous building's spire together and unfurled a large banner that read: "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace."After they descended to a small platform, one individual got down on one knee and seemed to propose marriage to the other, presenting a ring. They then kissed before continuing to climb down.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) told the BBC the two individuals have been taken into custody. They were atop the 1,454 ft (443 m) building for at least 10 minutes.
The couple appears to be climbers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, according to multiple media reports. The two, subjects of the 2024 documentary Skywalkers: A Love Story, have scaled buildings all over the world and reportedly live in New York.
A spokesperson for the building said ''unauthorized incident'' had posed no danger to tenants, visitors, or guests on the observation deck just below the spire.''It is to be emphasized that the Empire State Building Observation Deck, atop the World's Most Famous Building in the center of New York City, does offer a practical way for the most memorable marriage proposals," the spokesperson said in a statement.
The NYPD tell the BBC that they have not filed any charges yet.
Also a missed opportunity to put a cone on top of it while they were there
Great thing to watch if you're constipated.
That's wonderful to read, the proposal made up there. Mad stuff but made me smile. 👍😁
Also, yep, needed a traffic cone placed in the top for full effect. 👍
