A couple who illegally scaled the Empire State Building this week is charged in connection with the stunt, according to reports. NBC News says the pair is hit with reckless endangerment charges after the climb, and that they are taken into custody in New York City. TIME.com notes that the Empire State Building has a history of being scaled illegally, while also pointing out that some instances have been handled through legal channels. The current reports focus on the couple’s arrest and the criminal charges tied to the climb, but they do not provide further details about their motives, identities, or the full scope of the investigation. The incident adds to the building’s long-running pattern of unauthorized ascents, despite the legal risks associated with climbing a high-rise without permission. As the case proceeds, officials and prosecutors are expected to address how the couple accessed the building, how they reached the upper levels, and what public-safety concerns the charges are based on.
