Brinkerhoff, who works for DRW Trading on the 34th floor at 7WTC (and had recently transferred from the Chicago offices), "staggered into the 52-story building at about 3:10 a.m. Saturday," the Daily News reports—and a source says he was "horribly intoxicated." But not too intoxicated to use his company ID to get through the lobby turnstiles, just too intoxicated to select the 34 button.
From the 35th floor, Brinkerhoff went into a freight elevators and hit the 40 button, but wasn't allowed out on the 40th floor, because he needed a fingerprint ID. Noticing an aerosol can, Brinkerhoff decided to spray it and set it ablaze—and that managed to bring the elevator to ground level, where Port Authority police were waiting.
A police sourced told the Post, "He was intoxicated. It kinds of explains what happened." His mother was incredulous to the News, "Ryan is a wonderful young man. This is totally unlike him. He would never do anything like this." But this video on MySpace (thanks, just saying) suggests that Brinkerhoff is no stranger to playing with fire.
Brinkerhoff was charged with a number of counts including felony arson.

HAHAHA, what a dope.
Guess he didn't want to end up like Nicholas White:

Wow, 41 hours?
Isn't there any building security in the lobby that would prevent an intoxicated man from going into the building in the middle of the night?
Somebody is sooooo fired. Good luck finding another firm that's willing to hire you, Mr. "Do What? I don't know what you are talking about." I can't imagine any HR department not looking up his name on the Web and coming up with all these news stories, archived and available for eternity. Better get used to working at Starbucks or McDonalds and getting completely wasted on weekends to forget your misery.
I wish this were true, but in this day and age, it seems anyone can be forgiven for anything at any time. Perhaps the fact that this brat will have a criminal record will make a difference, as many companies tend to prefer not to hire felons.
But my guess is that, in the end, he gets off with criminal mischief.
Starbucks will have to take a pass on this guy. Just as in that elevator, when running their espresso machine, he clearly couldn't push a button.
And people wonder how the stock market and financial industry got us into all this current mess. Just look at this retard and multiply his obvious intellectual skills by the hundreds of thousands of other idiots just like him and it becomes clear. How exactly does one become a stock trader? Maybe I need to go sign up so I can also make millions while being retarded.
Dear this tool's mom,
Yes, your tool son would do something like that.
Runs in the family, does it?
On his Myspace page he lists his occupation as "office services." Yet the Post articles say he's a commodities broker. Nothing else he says on myspace would indicate that he's so humble a trader that he'd list his occupation as something so mundane... so the point is, I wonder if he really is a trader, or if someone just assumed that because of where he works.
Hi, Ry. Bye, Ry.
His mother was incredulous to the News, "Ryan is a wonderful young man. This is totally unlike him. He would never do anything like this."
She's a moron. This seems to be theme with American mothers (eg, Columbine)
Let's not waste any more public resources on this douche.

I don't see what he did wrong, I mean come on most of those companies in that building contributed to the economic meltdown. You could say he did something good?
