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.

This is a nothing story. Plans are confidential because you don;t want known what you are submitting for permit. Big deal. These plans have been submitted for permit already. if you guys want a copy of these plans...all you have to do is pay for the copies (about $1.25 per page) and you can obtain them.
You also have to have a backround in construction to even know what you are looking at. And then..all you would know is the stress strengths of the current building code. So basically...you can get this info for free if you call the New York City building department.
Damn, got my hopes up. For a second there I thought they had scrapped the plans. Put the towers back.
