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."

That's just it, they weren't thinking. They were just there to "collect a paycheck".

I lived/worked there for 25 years. I can't say that I'm shocked by this news

The Port Authority and the Triboro Bridge and Tunnel Authority run neck and neck for the most inept public agency in NY. Look at what a marvelous experience flying in and out of JFK airport is

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
