Report: NYC Freedom Tower plans found in trash

NEW YORK - A homeless man has come forward with two sets of confidential ground zero blueprints that he says were dumped in a Lower Manhattan trash can.

The man brought the Freedom Tower plans to the New York Post, which says the 150-page schematic is marked: "Secure Document - Confidential."

The documents are dated Oct. 5, 2007. They contain plans for each floor, the thickness of the concrete-core wall, and the location of air ducts, elevators, electrical systems and support columns.

The agency that owns the World Trade Center site, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, calls it a serious security lapse.

Spokeswoman Candace McAdams says mishandling the blueprints would be "cause for serious disciplinary action."

We await the spokeswoman to identify WHO is responsible and WHAT disciplinary action they have experienced in this matter.

Good

Throw away a terrible excuse to build the tallest building in the world, along with it being an ugly design, and let’s build something like the Twin Towers. I say an updated version of the North and South Towers. Plus for the grand opening, a nice laser light show of a one-finger salute toward Mecca.

For a project this size, you could be waiting for decades.

I think it’s not as seriuos as it seems. It’s probably not a “classified” project.

OOOUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!

Yikes.

My guess, a janitor or pay grade scale lower employee is about to hit the bricks.

There, fixed that problem.
