Two CNN producers were arrested trying to "sneak onto" the World Trade Center site Tuesday to test security.
Why? Last week, a sixteen year old managed to get onto the site and climb to the top of the Freedom Tower. Then three men on Monday were charged with parachuting onto the site.
The New York Post reported that a CNN spokesperson said producers Connor Boals, 26, and Yon Pomrenze, 35, "were not asked to sneak onto the WTC site."
Both were charged with trespassing, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct.
