Parents of firefighters who died on 9-11 while responding to the World Trade Center have made a court filing asking for leniency in the case of BASE jumpers who slipped past security at the new One World Trade Center and parachuted from the rooftop. The families argue that the lack of security is the real issue. If the BASE jumpers were able to enter the building and make it to its roof, encountering no security on the way, then "...no lessons were learned from the 3,000 people who perished on 9-11, including our heroic sons,' wrote Sally Regenhard and Jim Riches, a retired deputy chief for the New York Fire Department, according to the Daily News. Both of them belong to the 9/11 Parents and Families of Firefighters and WTC Victims organization," reports The Christian Science Monitor. The BASE Jumpers are facing charges that include felony burglary.
