VIDEO : NYC Freedom Tower Skydiver Jump

Three daredevils, along with their lookout, pulled off a breathtaking jump from the Freedom Tower in New York City, and the jump was documented in a daredevil YouTube video shot at night, The New York Daily News reported.

By jumping from the top of the Freedom Tower, the stunt men engaged in what is referred to as B.A.S.E. jumping, a risky sport where "participants jump from fixed objects and use a parachute to break their fall," according to Wikipedia. B.A.S.E. is an "acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: building, antenna, span, and Earth (cliff)."

The comments to the YouTube video ranged from excitable "Wow's" to shaming the daredevils. "Perhaps it would have been wise to take into account that you did this on the SAME grounds many poor souls as well jumped, as it was not for their enjoyment," one commenter wrote.

Is Katie Holmes Being Stalked By Scientology Spies ?

Is Katie Holmes Being Followed By Scientology Private Investigators ?

Ever since Katie Holmes filed for divorce last week, she has been afraid that she is being followed by private investigators connected with the Church of Scientology, according to press reports.

Katie's fears stem from reports that a white SUV has been parked outside of her new apartment building with "suspicious-looking" men inside. (Katie ran away from the apartment she shared with her husband on the day she filed for divorce, and she and Suri have moved into a new apartment building.) NYPD have been called to check on the men in the mysterious SUV, but not charges have been filed.

The New York Daily News has reported that Katie Holmes is no longer wearing her wedding ring.
