UPDATE: OKAY SO police are all over and they sent a window washer platform down from the top of the building but it was too far above him so then sent it back up and police just shattered a window slightly above him to try to get him and now he’s moving away from the hole in the window and continuing up he’s been climbing for like an hour now and they cant figure out how to get him down this is so incredible

UPDATE: LOOK AT HIM GO

UPDATE: they just inflated a giant inflatable on 56th street a third of nyc is in gridlock bc of this guy climbing the trump tower i cannOT BELIEVE

UPDATE: he’s on the 18th floor this so surreal

UPDATE: we’re approaching hour 2 of the climb and since the last update he’s made it up at least another 3 floors

UPDATE:  SOMEONE TOOK A PICTURE OF HIM FROM INSIDE THE TOWER

A HERO

update: apparently his name is steve and he’s from virginia

ASCEND, STEVE

UPDATE: they just used suction cups to pull two panes of glass into the building a few floors above him

you know what they always say. you cant fight fire with fire, but you should always fight suction cups with suction cups

UPDATE: HE’S TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THEM STILL IM CRYING WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK IS 2016????

UPDATE: he keeps trying to move around all the police forces. theres a removed window with officers above him, another one on the right-facing wall beside that, and a scaffolding/window-washing bucket and theyre tryING TO SHOW THE NEWS BUT CLEARLY SPIDER-MAN IS MORE IMPORTANT

UPDATE; theyve offered him a line in. he rejects it moves away from the line. we are at the two and a half hour mark. he is on floor 22. he continues to ascend. 

UPDATE: THEY GOT HIM I REPEAT THEY GOT HIM

THEYRE TRYING TO GET THE SUCTION CUPS OFF
