I remember this guy in later performances but I don't remember this one.
This is so awesome for several reasons. Kind of bittersweet. I'm such a
sap. I admit I got teary watching it.

This would have been one to see...I was 9 yrs old when this happened and I
remember my grandmother seeing on the news and telling me about it. Of
course I had no idea of what the 'world trade center towers' were, sadly
they became such a target nearly 30 years later.

Philippe Petit after tight rope walking between the World Trade Center
towers.
When I think about being fully alive, I think about Philippe Petit. He was
only 24 years old when he did this.
He was of course arrested and his "sentence" was to do a free show for
children in Central Park. I wish I had been one of them for whom he
performed!

Yeah, right. So, they timed the demolition exactly with two planes hitting
the freaking buildings? Right near where the towers once stood is the
Brooklyn Bridge. Could I interest you in buying it? Apparently, you'll
believe anything. BTW, Petit got his equipment into the buildings because
they were still under construction and he and his friends dressed as
construction workers.

100000000000000000 Suns.

Imagine if he was doing this in 2001 and the planes came.

Yes, if I were a journalist, I'd love to track down and interview Sgt.
Charles Daniels about this.

There is a good documentary about this on Netflix called man on wire. Wait
til you see the part about the cops trying kill him when they got him down.
Pussy cops, not the well spoken officer in the video, vs one of gutsiest
men of all time.

French are cowards MY ASS!!!!
Read his book "To Reach The Clouds" – it is poetry and much better than the
"Man on Wire" documentary of a couple of years ago.
Incredible!
back when people were more laid back
Hey you criminal, removing your comments again ? In this video you can see
a frenchman with exceptional qualities, of course your jealous as you can
do nothing, not even keepin a twoofer channel running.
THANKYOU! finnally someone who understadnd this has NOthing to do with 9/11!
HAHA what a badass
Philippe , I am doing a class play about you and I'm going to be you !
Isn't it exciting ?
Keep your warped view of reality to yourself please, your disgusting
attempt to turn both horrible events and beautiful moments into hollywood
movies may be tasteful to you but are disgusting to many who accept reality
for what it is.
The day before Nixon resigned!
Insane

i would do that no lie i would really do it!
