Jumping from the top of the WTC at 3am


Three men recently turned themselves in to NYPD admitting to this BASE jump from 1 WTC.

The video starts dark, but you adjust. They take their time building up the courage to jump. The adrenaline is palpable. You take a ride with one of the jumpers via helmet camera. Pretty amazing.

From Talking Points Memo:

Police told the Daily News that former WTC ironworker James Brady, 32, Andrew Rossig, 33, Marco Markovich, 27, and lookout Kyle Hartwell, 29, were charged with burglary, reckless endangerment and jumping from a structure before being released on $3,500 bail.

Rossig told the Daily News that the skydivers accessed Ground Zero by slipping through a hole in the fence and then "just kind of walked in." The New Jersey teen similarly made his way into the tower without encountering much security.

If the helmet camera footage Brady filmed pulls in any money, Rossig's attorney told the newspaper, the skydivers plan to donate the proceeds to a charity for families of 9/11 victims.
