Freedomtower

The New York Post has an exclusive report on a homeless man who found the "confidential" blueprints for the Freedom Tower in a New York dumpster!

It's a good thing Osama wasn't walking through SoHo yesterday morning.

Two sets of confidential blueprints for the planned Freedom Tower, which is set to rise at Ground Zero, were carelessly dumped in a city garbage can on the corner of West Houston and Sullivan streets, The Post has learned.

Experts said the detailed, floor-by-floor schematics contain enough detail for terrorists to plot a devastating attack.

Below is a photo of the blueprints:

I suppose every construction who will build this thing will have to be killed afterwards to keep it all secret?

What should be noted that is that the plans for any building in New York, or any other county, city or town throughout the country, are likely to be fully available to the public through their respective building and codes departments. Granted you'd most likely have to sign them out, but otherwise, if the plans are required as part of building permitting process, they are probably public documents. Also, it should be noted that plans to the World Trade Center Towers were hardly necessary for the September 11th attacks.

Yes, they did. That's because all the information that was pertinent was:

"There are the buildings."

and:

"Here are some planes."

As bin Laden said, he did not expect them to collapse. That was just a "happy accident".

It's not really that hard to blow up a building, when you have a few thousand people put their minds to it. What's hard, and more rewarding, is not giving a few thousand people a reason to blow your buildings up in the first place.

Help me out here guys.
911 happens, because of our government.
So we plan to build something to commemorate that event.
Then, a HOMELESS man finds the "confidential" plans in the trash.
The symbolism is almost overwhelming.

Is there anything more obscene than calling this building the "Freedom Tower" while the government is hell bent on making the country less free?

the only people who 'hate us for our freedom' are certain groups/entities within the government and multinational corporations who hate us for our wages and our miniscule influence of the government.

Perhaps Homeland Security should stop bugging our phones and start monitoring who they're hiring and vetting. Irony is that if there was another attack, they'll still trot out the same tired rhetoric--"evil, insane, hate us for our freedoms..." Perhaps they just despise incompetence.

Maybe I'm just dense but why do these plans need to be confidential?

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 11:07 AM on 04/18/2008

Exactly....do they need to be confidential. Just simply start a fire in ANY building and within 50 minutes you will weaken and melt the beams that will allow for a complete and total disintegration of every speck of concrete and steel in its own footprint within seconds of a 110 story structure. All a Saudi Arabian highjacker would need is a match and some kindling to bring down any building as was seen 3 times on 911. Building plans are irrelevant.

HA! I guess I deserved that. But are building plans usually kept secret? Or is it just because of the potentially greater risk of an attack on this particular building?

That's just silly, everybody in New York City recognizes that street trash bins are used for filing and storage. We don't have enough space here in the city, but we do have nosy homeless people. Shame on that man for his covert spying.

As to the Box Tank Tower's vulnerability, why, it's a box tank, a tall one, built to take any terrorists best shot.

So probably what happened is the plans have already been dissected for what was needed for use in a "terrorist" plot, so they tossed them.

Like Sean Hannity always says, "Let Freedom Ring." Yeah, right. Thank you to our government for "protecting" us here at home, NOT!

911 would NEVER have happened except for the massive incompetence in this country ( just look at who's President )

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 10:34 AM on 04/18/2008

The demolition of the World Trade Centers was a great act of competence never incompetence. The demolition company was doing "work" inside the WTC's 1 and 2 the weekend before 911 on Sat and Sun Sept 8th and 9th 2001. The first ever "power down" at the tops of the WTC buildings allowed for zero electricity and zero surveillance cameras. 100's saw "workers" going in and out of the buildings that weekend before 911.

This company was quite competent have been doing clandestine demolitions and detonations for the military and US government on 6 continents for over 60 years. This same demolition company is in the Guinness Book of world records for the most and the largest demolition of buildings and bridges ever recorded. If you are looking for a "new Pearl Harbor" it makes you wonder if Pearl Harbor had been a staged and conspired event? Wait.....the founder of the very company seen going in and out of the WTC's that weekend was STATIONED in Pearl Harbor in 1941!!!! It gets worse.......never incompetent.

Thanks, Terrorfied, that was very entertaining. Did you know there are photographs of the San Francisco earthquake in which, if you look very carefully, you can see the grandfather of the founder of the demolition company dropping a stick of dynamite into a manhole. Same guy was spotted on the battleship Maine in Havana harbor just before the big boom. And genealogy experts believe that they can follow the family tree back to Indonesia, where one the demolition guy's distant relatives was seen acting suspiciously around Krakatoa.

But I thought two aircraft with burning fuel temperatures reaching 599 degrees Fahrenheit was the cause the three buildings falling almost perfectly into their foundations? I mean, with Bush's brother in charge of security--nobody could have set demolition charges in those buildings.

Settle down, Chicken Licken... Do you honestly think that an administration exhibiting such neolithic incompetence as this could organize such an event? If so, why hasn't one, just one person come forward to pull back the curtain on the organizers? The seven most powerful people in the country had closed-door meetings in the White House, of all places, discussing and authorizing torture techniques for months following the invasion of Iraq and somehow that came to light.

I'm not saying that this administration couldn't have prevented 9-11, but to suggest the people who gave us the Katrina reaction, Guantanamo Bay and 'lost' 8 billion dollars in cash sent to Iraq, orchestrated the entire thing... No way.

As Mr. Bill Maher said a few weeks ago on his show- "You know how I know Bush didn't plan 9-11?? IT WORKED!"

Those are not the kind of things you accidentally throw into a city trash can.

That's true, normally you throw it into an OFFICE trash can. Normally it doesn't matter since the plans aren't usually confidential for no reason....

Experts said the detailed, floor-by-floor schematics contain enough detail for the government to perpetrate another controlled demolition.
