Incredible POV Footage of BASE Jumpers Launching Off the One World Trade Center

Getting to the top of the One World Trade Center is supposed to be impossible, or at the very least difficult, but it seems that’s not so. In a video released yesterday but shot back in September of 2013, three BASE jumpers show that they not only got up to the top… they managed to jump off with parachutes and get off scot-free until months later.

We won’t go into the security concerns this stunt raises. That was sufficiently covered when 16-year-old Justin Casquejo made headlines last week. Instead, we’re going to tell you to enjoy the fruits of James Brady, Andrew Rossig, and Marco Markovich’s labor: a POV video of the 3AM jump that captures the spectacular view and the trio’s fall from the top of the tallest building in the US.
