Report: NYC Freedom Tower plans found in trash

Homeless NYC man says he found secret Freedom Tower blueprints in a corner trash can

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."

1. I wonder which Bush cronies are involved with the rebuilding...
who got the no-bid contract?

2. Wait for the parsing and excuses
Those aren't the actual plans, some flunky did it, etc....

But what this really points to is the mindset of those in charge who like to remind us at every opportunity of how afraid we should all be.

They are laughing at us, all the way to the bank.
