A man climbed all the way up the Times building. Since it is built with metal rods, it is almost like climbing up a ladder. At the ninth floor he posted a sign "Global Warming kills more people than 9/11 every day"
Alain Robert was arrested at around 12:22 p.m. this afternoon when he reached the roof of hte 52 story building.
He was to be taken to the Midtown South police precinct, where charges are pending.
Before he reached the top, Robert managed to post a sign on the side of the Times building.
This is truly unbelievable, people inside, and outside of the building were astonished. He is being charged with tresspassing. I am sorry if this has already been covered. Well, at least it was for the enviroment.
Oh, and if you guys have never seen the Nytimes building before, it's super cool.
A SECOND MAN HAS JUST CLIMBED THE BUILDING!
It is unclear if this man is an experienced climber. Eighth Avenue has been shut down.
The man successfully made it to the top and was taken into police custody.
Earlier today, a French skyscraper climber nicknamed "Spiderman" was arrested after he scaled the same 52-story tower to draw attention to global warming.
amazing, he has also been taken into custody, and we have no idea what he did while climbing.
