Philippe Petit Walks a Tightrope Between the Twin Towers in 1974
Published on Fri, Aug 28th 2015 News & Politics Rectangular HD
A 25-year-old French daredevil did a tightrope walk across the top of New York in 1974 - on a 131-foot cable strung between the 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center. The aerialist, accomplished juggler and unicyclist, is Philippe Petit, who said, “I see three oranges and I have to juggle. I see two towers and I have to walk.” The stroll, 1,350 feet above street level, lasted 50 minutes, from 7:05 to 7:55 a.m. Four times the 25-year-old Petit, who started out from the north tower, walked to a point near the south tower and then back north. Once he sat down on the wire cable - which is an inch in diameter - and another time he lay down on his back on the cable.
