Teen gains access to, climb to top of 1 World Trade Center

Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- A New Jersey teenager who was apparently obsessed with 1 World Trade Center managed to gain access to the building in the middle of the night, climb to the top and take pictures, according to Port Authority police.

Sixteen-year-old Justin Casquejo, of Weehawken, is charged with misdemeanor trespassing.

He allegedly broke in around 4 a.m. Sunday. He had no identification, but may have been dressed like a construction worker.

Police say he accessed 1 World Trade Center through a 1-foot-by-1-foot hole in the fence, and an elevator operator took him to 88th floor. He then climbed to 104th floor and walked past a sleeping guard. That guard has since been fired.
