WTF! Man walked on tightrope between the NYC WTC twin towers in 1974!

Saw a great documentary called "Man on Wire" whilst flying to USA yesterday.

In the early 70?s, New York?s World Trade Centre towers were nearing completion, and French tightrope walker Philippe Petit's dream of walking between these twin towers was also close to reality. This daring but illegal, high-wire routine has been considered "the artistic crime of the century? as Petit astonished the world by succeeding the walk early one morning in 1974.



Talk about living life on the edge, great movie, what a guy!
