Insane Video Of BASE Jumpers' 1 World Trade Center Dive
Hours after it was reported that a trio of men dove off 1 World Trade Center in a 1,368-foot BASE jump last September, the men, plus a friend who served as lookout, turned themselves into the police yesterday. Apparently the NYPD Intelligence Division and the Port Authority Police Department had been investigating the incident for the past five and a half months—guess the GoPro video that one of the jumpers took is pretty incriminating (and really scary!).
The police say, "This investigation involved an extensive review of video footage from the area around the World Trade Center site, as well as other electronic and photographic evidence. Additional evidence was seized as a result of search warrants issued with the assistance of the New York County District Attorney’s Office." Of course, the video shows two men jumping from the building. The camera is attached to the second jumper, and you see him landing on the West Side Highway, just south of Chambers Street, and scurrying to hide. more here
