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." But she says the plans are not detailed and have been updated several times since October.

- That tower is what they call freedom tower. But what does it really mean? Freedom for who?. The neo cons that own you and this country are not interisted in your petty life, They simply cant stand american values. If they did we would all be well off. They make the poor pay with there lives and there labor. We need a REVOLUTION Kick the bums out.

- Hell,it is no wonder that we get all this BS,from terrorist organizations.All that would have took was a Islamic extremist to dig those secret documents out of the trash,and they would have known exactly where every rivet,and bolt went.That is just perfect the way everyone has forgotten about the bad guys,and have let their guards down.We must keep 911 in our hearts no matter how painful,that is the only way to keep us on alert!

The two "ground zeroes" Nancy was talking about are most likely Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where the USA dropped nukes.

Your point is true, but the real lapse was that a document marked "Secure Document - Confidential." was thrown into the trash, it obviously didn''t go through the declassification process in place for the destruction of documents marked as such.
It wasn''t the contents of the documents, it was that someone violated procedure. - Reply to this comment

This reminds me of the story on the evening news where the Vendor tables outside the main gate near the military base in Afghanistan had every military item from inside the base for sale! Apparently the cleaning crews were robbing the base blind. TV cameras showed portable hard drives, ID badges, laptops, office supplies, dated daily briefing plans with photos and locations of criminals and terrorist! lol, One Officer joked some of the plans on the Vendors table were more up to date than the ones he had! I never saw anything like it, not only was it extremely embarrassing, it was funny as all hell. - Reply to this comment

- The man was immediately renditioned and sent to an undisclosed Black Site to be tortured, just to make sure he''ll never tell this story again.
Meanwhile, all reports were being removed from existence, and new stories put out about an "Urban Legend" that some homeless guy found plans for Ground Zero in a trash can.....
Nothing to see here, just the NWO being installed,....

Oh HARDLY you drama queen! anyone can go down to the Hall of Records on Chamber street and you can look up everything about any building in the city- including blueprints, floor plans, permits, photos, ownership, costs and all subsequent work done that requires a permit- and that would include replacing your sink.
ALL you need is to look up the address and obtain the block and lot numbers on their maps, and the search begins, even I did it when I was a teen. - Reply to this comment
