Two people climbed to the very top of the Empire State Building's towering spire in New York City on Wednesday to unfurl a large banner urging world peace.
The pair, dressed in sleeveless black outfits, hung onto the landmark skyscraper's antenna spire near the glowing red light at its top some 1,454ft (443m) above the sidewalk of midtown Manhattan.
They held a black banner with a message in all-capital white letters that flapped in the wind: "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace."
It was not immediately clear who the two people were or how they got up there.
