New York City Homeless Man Finds Blueprints For Freedom Tower Labeled Confidential

New York City, NY (AHN) - A New York City homeless man found two sets of confidential plans for the planned Freedom Tower that had been illegally discarded in a Lower Manhattan trash can. Freedom Tower is planned to rise from the Ground Zero site of the World Trade Center towers destroyed in 9/11.

A homeless recovering drug addict found the 150-page plans discarded in a city trash can. He took the plans to the New York Post, according to Fox news reports.

The documents were clearly marked "Secure Document - Confidential" on the title block of each page of the drawings.

Experts told the New York Post that detailed information on the schematics of of the floor-by-floor plans were sufficient for terrorists to use to plan an attack.

The plans, dated Oct. 5, 2007, were not a complete set of blueprints but the plans did contain details for each floor, such as the location of air ducts, electrical systems, elevators, support columns and the thickness of the concrete-core walls, the Post reports.

That is dangerous information in the hands of the wrong person and Port Authority officials called discarding the plans in the trash a serious security breach, according to Fox news reports.

A global security expert told the Post that such information would allow anyone planning an attack to look for vulnerabilities in the building's design to exploit.
