<p>If you are not one for suspense, skip to the two minute and thirty second mark in the first video above to watch as the first jumper takes the plunge from the 1,776-foot tower, followed shortly thereafter by the man behind the camera.</p>

<p>After months of hiding their identities, James Brady, Marco Markovich and Kyle Hartwell have turned themselves in and are already <a href="http://www.mancillalaw.com/">raising legal funds</a> for their defense. They are charged with burglary, reckless endangerment and jumping from a structure.</p>

<p>According to the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/25/nyregion/parachutists-admit-jumping-from-trade-center-tower.html?hp&amp;_r=2">New York Times</a>, the trio have been <em>&#8220;described by their lawyers as experienced, amateur sky divers who also sought thrills leaping from buildings, bridges and other structures.&#8221; </em>As for how they got in and up in this case: apparently, they simply slipped through a hole in the fence, scaled the stairs and did not encounter any security along the way to the top of the tower above. A similar stunt was pulled by a teenager <a href="http://nypost.com/2014/03/20/teen-sneaks-past-sleeping-wtc-guard-reaches-104th-floor/">not too long ago</a>, but reporters who tried to follow suit found themselves <a href="http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140325/financial-district/two-cnn-reporters-arrested-for-trying-break-into-world-trade-center">caught and arrested</a>.</p>

<p>Take your pick between a pair of once-abandoned silos: one lets you explore nearly 100 vertical feet of underwater space with hidden caverns, while the other suspends you in virtual free fall, riding air currents in a cylindrical wind tunnel.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="converted cargo shipping containers" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/converted-cargo-shipping-containers.jpg" width="468" height="600" /></p>
<p>While those two primary volumes form the core experience of this conversion project, a series of shipping containers (stacked ten stories high) surrounding these structures will provide support and circulation spaces. Warsaw studio <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mokoarchitects">Moko Architects</a> aims to start construction in just over one year on this ambitious project, set in the city&#8217;s industrial district.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="converted concerete silo section" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/converted-concerete-silo-section.jpg" width="468" height="676" /></p>
<p>The modified cargo containers additions are designed to contain offices, shops, a cafe and hostel as well training rooms or sports outfitters for visitors. These stacked  attachments will be form a dynamic array and be connected via staircases spanning between the central cylinders. As they slip past one another in space, outdoors decks are formed organically as well on various roof levels within the vertical design configuration.</p>
