Another Climber of the New York Times Building, Another Arrest

They never learn, do they? We all know that, about a month ago, two men tried to climb the New York Times building and got arrested. Wednesday morning another daredevil did the same thing.

According to The Associated Press, police said the man made it to the 11th floor before he descended to a lower level. Once there, he began making cell phone calls and talking to police. Authorities said he was arrested around 5:30 a.m.

CNN reported that around 2:10 a.m. he arrived on the 11th floor and put a banner that read “Bin Laden’s Plan.” It had a picture of Osama bin Laden who was holding President George W. Bush from puppet strings.

The man was first seen climbing the building at about 1:30 a.m. Authorities closed some streets and installed an inflatable cushion, placing it in front of the main entrance of the New York Times building.

Catherine Mathis, a spokeswoman for the Times, said that the building had some modifications made after the two climbers tried to scale the building on June 5. They both got to the top and they both got arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

The spokeswoman said that it remained to see how the man managed to overcome the new obstacles.
