Insane!

so im sitting in dead stop traffic on rt 80 (aka hell on earth) in new jersey on my way home from work- and this is what i hear on the radio: a man, apparently the second of the day, was climbing the new york times building on 8th ave and 41st street. this location, mind you, being right across from port authority.

i have had many opportunities to stare up at this 52 story building while waiting on cab lines outside the bus station, and let me tell you, its tall. i was getting nauseus just listening to the report because im deathly afraid of heights and i was picturing the scene. anyways, you can read a detailed description of the whole event on the ny times blog.
