“Secure Document – Confidential,” warns the title page on each of the two copies of the 150-page schematic [for the planned Freedom Tower] that a homeless, recovering drug addict discovered in the public trash can…

Mike Fleming, 28, originally from Ohio, said he was rummaging through the garbage in search of cardboard, “because the concrete is so cold to sleep on,” when he noticed the documents and the warning to “properly destroy if discarded.” …”I am an honest guy. This could have ended up on eBay or gotten to al Qaeda.”

To recap: New York City’s plans for its awe-inspiring tower were saved from the clutches of terrorists by Superman the NYPD a homeless man from Ohio who wanted cardboard to sleep on. This is the moment when you realize our entire world has become a depressing 1970s movie.
