Shortly reaching the top and flying the banner, one of the two began to descend, but then made their way back to the top.
An NYPD helicopter responded to the scene. At 12:35 p.m., the two began to descend from the top.
At the start of the incident, other people could be seen milling about on building’s observation deck below, as normal.

Incredibly, once they hit one of the lower platforms on the tower, the man dropped to one knee and appeared to be proposing to the woman. The two then embraced, the woman removed her mask, and they kissed.
The Empire State Building’s top floor is at 1,250 feet high. Including the transmission tower, the building is 1,454 feet tall.
The iconic building is one of the top 10 tallest buildings in the U.S.
