It was only a matter of time before someone BASE jumped off the Freedom Tower in NYC, but in fairness, the jump looks absolutely spectacular…

The video above claims to be from a jump that took place back on September 30, 2013, at around 3am in the morning and while the jump itself is a few months old at this stage, the footage is only hitting the internet now.

The first jumper takes off at the 2:30 mark with the cameraman following fairly shortly after…

There’s not much info regarding who’s involved in the video or how they managed to get up to the top of the tower without anyone noticing, but we’re sure the BASE jumpers in question won’t be coming forward anytime soon – seeing as the jump is illegal.
