I absolutely love that quote!

1. if you made it there it counts, sucks he got arrested but that doesn't mean he didn't make it up there.

2. think they will eventually give him the camera back?

3. I've got into a lot of active and abandoned sites in broad daylight with the assistance of a clip board and white hard hat! It works! When it doesn't just say something along the lines of "shit I left my ID badge in the truck" and leave.

do they ever follow you off site back to your truck?

What's that old saying? Pics or it didn't happen.

The elevator operator who asked no questions while taking him skyward has since been reassigned — but got to keep his job because of his hardhat union. But the guard who was snoozing on the top floor wasn’t as lucky — he was immediately fired.

wait, so all you gotta do is ask the elevator guy to give you a lift?

If the sleeping guy manages to ever get another security job, I would hate to be the explorer who gets caught by him, there will be little chance of talking yourself out of that one.

Would be the ultimate score if the kid posts pics of it. Those would be worth seeing.

Posted by rockandrollfreak Good for him, I think they needed this to happen. I just read this on Gothamist, the quote made me laugh. Two of Casquejo's friends helped him case the joint on multiple occasions, looking for weaknesses and finding them. But Casquejo went on his mission alone—one of his friends told the Post, "We’re all crazy, but he’s the one with the balls." I agree with the article, instead of charging him, they should thank him.

If you find me inside your home at 3AM with some of your valuables in a bag I'm carrying, or with your wife, naked in bed be sure to just THANK ME for demonstrating some security/marital issues that you apparently didn't know existed. If I set fire to your house & it starts to burn down, be sure to THANK ME for educating you that your house was flammable...

You're welcome,

Now that was funny.

It's going to be very interesting to see what ends-up happening to him court/law-wise. For the same reasons the Freedom Tower thing was an epic challenge for him to try, it seems like he'll need to be made an example of. Plus of course, he embarrassed a lot of important people.

But in-terms of him getting laid, the arrest & enhanced notariety is going to help him. He's probably heard from many attorneys offering to defend him for free, public relations people who want to represent & manage his new-found fame, & is getting book & movie deals already. For better or worse (usually worse), I think that's how America works.


We don't really know how much scrutiny uer.ca gets from law enforcement & JTTF types already, but I believe it's going to increase now as a result of this case (regardless of whether or not the kid was ever on here).

Called it! I also anticipate that this news will get its own thread.

Breaking & entering, burglary, defiant trespass, all felonies. That's a lot of shit for a 16 year old to have to deal with. Since he's a minor, I imagine his parents have to foot the bill too.
Yeah, good goin' kid. Your bragging rights just cost your parents a small fortune. Hopefully it'll get expunged if he behaves himself by the time he's 18. Dumb move.

If he gets a good lawyer he will definitely get off of the burglary & B&E charges, I mean cmon those are bullshit anyways. They're just butthurt that their security is so bad. Same with those jumpers I mean burglary seriously?

No kidding! If nothing was broken upon entering, and nothing was stolen, then those charges should be dropped.

I didn't think it was a big deal, so didn't post (almost posted a simple "meh") and now a bunch of people have base jumped from there since. haha

Two CNN guys just got arrested at the WTC. http://news.yahoo....ite-224711240.html

props to this kid. it takes some serious balls.

Why are some people calling this kid an idiot? Isn't this what we do? Getting into places we're not supposed to be?
