They charged these guys with felonies. The irony here (besides this building being called the freedom tower) is this jump took place about 6 months ago. In that time, they devoted much time to hunting these guys down, but NOT (as evident by the kid who climbed up there the other day) fixing the holes in security. It’s kind of an interesting and depressing look at the American law system. I know a few of these guys. ---

How did they “endanger the public” by landing in an isolated area at 3am? “The NYPD devotes more than 200 officers, surveillance cameras and other technology to protect the perimeter of the site, while Port Authority police and private security agents guard the inside. Ultimately, plans call for a $40 million system of barriers and checkpoints around the 16-acre trade center site.” Lol and still fooled by a 16 year old. Totally worth the jump IMO for just some community service. ---

2 week vacation to Sri Lanka. Only cost me a flight the rest was funded by a tourism company here, because they are looking to set up an event here in the future. Got shuttled around the country to various sites and stayed at the nicest hotels and it didn’t cost me a dime. Assessed several sites and jumped many of them. I don’t have time to upload any videos but here are a few pictures: ![https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t31.0-8/1294572_10152395741159365_920049592813541413_o.jpg](https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t31.0-8/1294572_10152395741159365_920049592813541413_o.jpg) ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10169184_10152383064559365_6018026470433866657_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/10169184_10152383064559365_6018026470433866657_n.jpg) ---
