Teen Sneaks Past Security, Climbs Atop 1 World Trade Center
A New Jersey teen managed to breach security in middle of the night and climb the spire of 1 World Trade Center to take photos, authorities said.
The teen was identified in court papers as Justin Casquejo, who told police, "I was walking around the construction site and figured out how to access the Freedom Tower rooftop."
Casquejo, 16, was arrested for trespassing at 6 a.m. Sunday morning after a construction supervisor spotted him coming down from the 1,176-foot building, according to Port Authority police.
To reach the antenna of the building -- the tallest in the Western Hemisphere -- the teen squeezed through what officials tell ABC News was a "12 by 12-inch hole."
Law enforcement said the teen "admitted" what he did and explained he took the stairs to 20th floor, an elevator to the 99th floor and then went to the spire.
The security at 1 World Trade Center -- which was previously believed to be impenetrable -- is now under investigation.
