The couple who climbed New York City's Empire State Building on July 2 weren't just about to engage in a publicity stunt. They were also about to get engaged while they were up there, 1,454 feet or 443 meters above Manhattan. This path of true love, however, had its obstacles. A number of media accounts were quick to note that the climbers were not authorized to go past the 102nd floor, which is the building's highest public access spot. They managed, however, to get beyond there and also into the restricted area which involved passing a number of antennas. There was the master antenna used by 15 New York FM stations as well as a separate smaller antenna used by three other New York FM radio stations, wearing no harnesses, no parachutes. They also had to pass a number of antennas used by TV stations.
