NEW YORK (AP) – Two people got to the top of the Empire State Building's antenna and unfurled a banner about "the power of love" at midday Tuesday, before starting to descend, embracing and taking selfies, news helicopter video showed.

Dressed in black and wearing masks – but not tethers, it appeared – the two balanced on a narrow ledge and appeared to kiss atop the New York skyscraper's antenna, which rises 1,454 feet (443 meters) above midtown Manhattan.

The banner, reading "when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace", waved in the wind.
