Homeless Man Finds Ground Zero Plans In Trash

NEW YORK (AP) ― A homeless man has come forward with two sets of confidential ground zero blueprints that he says were dumped in a Lower Manhattan trash can.

The man brought the Freedom Tower plans to the New York Post, which says the 150-page schematic is marked: “Secure Document – Confidential.”

The documents are dated Oct. 5, 2007. They contain plans for each floor, the thickness of the concrete-core wall, and the location of air ducts, elevators, electrical systems and support columns. The agency that owns the World Trade Center site, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, calls it a serious security lapse.

Spokeswoman Candace McAdams says mishandling the blueprints would be “cause for serious disciplinary action.” But she says the plans are not detailed and have been updated several times since October.

Braving the sea of identity.

Life is not about finding who you are. It’s not a constant search that never ends. It’s about finding who you want to be, crystallizing the role you decide to play, and riding it out. Sticking with it.The hard part is not trying to find who you are, it’s sticking to who you believe you should be, no matter what.

Hence the buddhist belief that there is not way to happiness but happiness is the way, only translates into happiness coming from determining your place and the satisfaction deriving from fulfilling that position to the fullest. It might not always be easy but it’s a hell of a lot more rewarding than constantly being uncertain about who you could be.

It’s not about listening or searching, it’s about setting a goal and sticking with it. Not being passive but being in charge. You can’t always be perfect and you can’t always be right. But you can be who you are and not succumbing to outer forces or the excuse of confusion about one’s identity. Be yourself rings true in a take no prisoners approach and having the guts to be your own moral and ethical utopia.

Once you accept that you can truly live because you are not floating anymore – you are steering.
