Two CNN employees are being accused of trespassing at the World Trade Center site in New York.
Anonymous law enforcement sources tipped the New York Post, saying that the individuals, Connor Boals and Yon Pomrenze, are CNN producers according to their LinkedIn profiles.
An individual told the Post that the two men “were trying to prove a point” about how anyone was able to get into the site.
Since the incidents earlier this week, when BASE jumpers filmed themselves parachuting from the top of the building, and a teenager climbed the World Trade Center and tweeted about it, the security at the 1WTC site has been a source of controversy.
In a statement issued by a CNN spokesperson, the men were doing nothing wrong. “They were not asked to sneak onto the WTC site. They were in the surrounding area to do a story about the recent incidents at the WTC and other sites –- and the notion that daredevils are being drawn to them.”
