Earlier this morning, a man was arrested after climbing on the New York Times Building's exterior, making him the third person to do so in six weeks. The man, 29-year-old David Malone, hung a banner over the banner to help promote his book about Osama Bin Laden; while he started up the building at 1:30 a.m., he wasn't apprehended until 5:20 a.m.
Malone had called the Daily News, explaining he selected the early morning for the climb/protest because he was "trying to minimize any disturbance - any breach of the peace." He did, however, leave behind a flyer on some windows, which were removed by building staff later. Luckily, someone took photos.
According to his website, Bin Laden's Plan, Malone "successfully predicted some of the major events of Bin Laden's war, including: the initiation of the 9/11 plot in July 1999, the execution of the 9/11 attack in 2001... the American invasion of Iraq and capture of Saddam Hussein in 2003..." The News reported that Malone (who spoke in a "detached monotone") as saying, "I'm trying to help America."
Now the NY Times Company will remove some of the rods (aka rungs to the climbers) that have made these ascent easy.

Unfortunately Americans are too lazy to care or take action.
^that is what was said of us in the 1930's.
He's a regular Nostradumbass.
The Times Building is the new Craig's List. Pretty soon, realtors will be climbing up to post ads for new condos in Bed-Stuy.
Made these predictions to who? His barber? Condoleezza Rice? Oprah?
What a dipshit. If you were going to scale a building and post flyers on windows, wouldn't you post them so that people inside could read them?
Hehehehe typo on his website about his next prediction:
Currently, David is warming about Al Qaeda's active campaign to provoke the American invasions of Pakistan and Iran.
WARMING LOL
I'd like independent confirmation of just what these wondrous predictions were and when he made them. This sort of reminds me of Star Trek writer D.C. Fontana's post that she predicted the first moon landing would take place on a Wednesday. Duh! You had a 1 in 7 chance of getting it right, woman! So what did this guy predict? I suspect it had nothing to do with hijacked airplanes.
The NYT is losing a great prospect
of making good money ,allowing people
who wish to climb that building
charging them a good fee.
It would be a different way of selling
a storie.
I hear in five years we will not have
paper news (papers) so let's make money
elsewhere.
I predict violence in the future fueled by religious and patriotic zealots.
There, I'm a Nostradamus also....
