By Daily Mail Reporter The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had a surveillance system the night that Justin Casquejo made it to the top of One World Trade Center, bypassing security. The only problem is the $4,000 system was still packed in its box at the time. Although the Port Authority bought the system in August, officials didn't want to pay to install it, the New York Post reported today. A source told the paper that the official who oversaw the purchase was so incensed at what he saw as a very high price for a two-camera system that he decided not to spend any more money to have it up and running.
