Police: Teen Charged After Gaining Access To Top Of WTC

A 16-year-old boy bypassed security in the middle of the night and climbed a ladder to the spire of 1 World Trade Center where he apparently took pictures, authorities said Thursday.

As CBS 2’s Sonia Rincon reported, Justin Casquejo of Weehawken, N.J. did not just get past the security and construction all around the new World Trade Center building. He got into an elevator and then climbed the stairs nearly another 20 flights to the spire.

He was arrested at 6 a.m. Sunday and charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass.
