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.

Boals is a 2010 Columbia University grad school graduate who has also worked at ABC News and Thomson Reuters and has been at CNN since January, according to his LinkedIn page. Pomrenze is also a Columbia University graduate who previously worked at NBC News and has been at CNN since 2012.
