First of all, these dudes are INSANE! A bunch of wild boys (literally) were caught on tape base jumping off NYC’s own Freedom Tower. One of the men had a camera attached to his helmet, catching the fall very clearly on video. Andrew Rossig, 33, James Brady, 32, and Marco Markovich, 27 and 29-year-old Kyle Hartwell (who is being dubbed as the “ground spotter”) have all been charged with burglary, reckless endangerment and jumping from a structure. Rossig explained to The New York Times that the they all just “kind of walked in,” putting the security on blast. “It’s supposed to be the most secure building in the world. God forbid it was somebody else getting in there with a real intention to harm New Yorkers.” Check out the CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY video below!

(Video) One World Trade Center Officially Tallest Building In U.S.
This morning the spire that will sit atop One World Trade Center was installed. The spire brings the height of the new building to 1,776 feet, making it the tallest building in the United States and third tallest in the world. The 408 foot spire will also contain a LED light that once installed can be seen from ten miles away from the building.

The Freedom Tower will officially be open in 2014. Watch the spire being installed below.
