NEW YORK - A homeless man has come forward with two sets of
confidential ground zero blueprints that he says were dumped in a
Lower Manhattan trash can. 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."
