A Fil-American teenager was able to get past security at the One World Trade Center in New York and took photos of himself -- the most ultimate selfies in history.
Fans of heist movies know that every security system, no matter how elaborate, always has a soft spot. Sometimes all it takes is a pretty young woman to flirt with a bored guard, or merely claiming you're a caterer who's late for work.
For obvious reasons, 1 WTC Center is supposed to be impenetrable and secure, but for 16-year-old Fil-American Justin Casquejo, all it took was finding a hole in a fence to slip through like he was sneaking into a junkyard to shoot some rats.
At approximately 4 a.m. on Sunday Casquejo found a hole in the fence surrounding America's tallest skyscraper, which is still under construction, and simply climbed through. Despite his lack of ID, an elevator operator happily took the teen up to the 88th floor, and then Casquejo proceeded on foot to the top of the building, past a sleeping security guard and all the way to the spire. Many selfies ensued.
"He came here and he ran hog wild," a WTC worker told the Post. The Port Authority says he spent at least an hour on top before he was detained by a construction worker who stopped him on his way back down. When questioned by police, Casquejo reportedly said, "I walked around the construction site and figured out how to access the Freedom Tower rooftop." He's charged with trespassing.
The security guard was fired, while the elevator operator was reassigned, according to the Post. --Source: The Gothamist
