Justin Casquejo, the New Jersey teen who managed to sneak past security and reach the spire of the World Trade Center, was arrested Sunday, Port Authority Police said.

Casquejo, 16, of Weehawken, crawled through a hole in a fence around the construction site at 4 a.m. on Sunday and scaled the scaffolding at 1 World Trade until he reached an elevator. He rode the tower lift and, according to the New York Post, donned a hardhat to appear as one of the construction workers working on site. Casquejo was reportedly allowed on the elevator up to the 88th floor by a “clueless union elevator operator” despite not having proper identification.

For those of us that hate wasting time watching video: http://gothamist.com/2014/03/20/teen_on_wire.php


1 WTC Center is supposed to be impenetrable and secure, but for 16-year-old Justin Casquejo all it took was finding a hole in a fence (http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140320/financial-district/teen-climbs-top-of-wtc-after-breaking-through-security-papd-says) 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.

Apparently Facebook was involved.
