NYPD bodycam footage shows moment Empire State Building daredevil lovebirds get busted after climbing landmark

Shocking bodycam footage captured the moment two attention-hungry twerps who made out on the Empire State Building’s antenna — and then got engaged — were caught scaling the landmark.

Video shows officers reaching the antenna and promptly taking Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Kuznetsov, 32, into custody shortly after he popped the question while more than 1,000 feet in the air.

Invasive wild pigs in Ontario are being tracked down by drones with thermal cameras. Here’s why

Invasive wild pigs in Ontario are being tracked down by drones with thermal cameras. Here’s why

Ontario is bringing home the bacon, or at least trying to by deploying drones with thermal cameras to track down invasive wild pigs before they wreak havoc to the local ecosystem.

The province uses Remotely Piloted Aircrafts Systems (RPAS) equipped with thermal imaging to ease their search on reported wild pig sightings, as these drones can detect feral hogs in thick brush.


There’s good reason to make wild pigs a protected species in the war against invasive species.

Katy Perry suffers another humiliating career blow as fans issue dire verdict on pop star’s future: ‘It’s over’

Katy Perry suffers another humiliating career blow as fans issue dire verdict on pop star’s future: ‘It’s over’

Katy Perry has been dealt another devastating career blow with the release of her new single, Watch It Burn.

The pop-rock track was billed as a return to Perry’s musical roots and was expected to deliver a much-needed comeback for the former hitmaker, but so far it has completely flamed-out on the charts.

After its release on Friday, Watch It Burn failed to enter the top 200 of Spotify’s streaming chart both globally and in the US.


The moron curses everything he touches. Not that Katy needed much help.

CBC: Let’s shortchange Canadian kids in favour of foreigners because vibes.
