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 Wednesday, news helicopter video showed.

Dressed in black and wearing helmets and masks, the two balanced on a narrow ledge atop the New York skyscraper's antenna, which rises 1,454 feet above midtown Manhattan. The banner, reading “when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace,” waved in the wind.

It wasn't clear how the pair gained access to the antenna, which rises well above public areas of the 102-story building.

Police and firefighters had no immediate information, and there was no immediate reply to a message to the building's management.
