Twin Towers Tighrope Movie

Posted: August 4th, 2008 | Author: Matt Hobbs | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , | No Comments »

A new documentary, Man on Wire, has just been released that describes how tightrope walker Phillipe Petit carried out his audacious high wire act between the twin towers of the World Trade Center back in 1974. You can see another interview with Petit and director James Marsh over at the BBC, where there are also a few clips of the movie. It looks stunning, and for me certainly very emotional to see down from the views that we used to have looking out of the 96th floor.
