It's funny, because before these German guys announced their involvement, I was almost positive it had been done by one of the crews of Russian climbers that are always releasing rooftop photos from around the world. My thought was that they had done the Brooklyn Bridge flag switch as some sort of political statement due to the recent tensions between Russia and the U.S. over what is happening in the Ukraine. Obviously I was wrong, but I was excited and amused to see this in the headlines a day or two ago:
