Man on Wire, a documentary

[Rogerson785]

I just finished watching Man on Wire, a documentary about Philippe Petit who walked across the gap between the North and South World Trade Towers back in 1974. The dedication and mental focus that took to do such a feat is astounding. This DVD is available from Netflix.

Up until 1993 when a car bomb went off in thr parking garage under the WTC, you could go on the roof and see where he signed his name on the inside corner edge of the building where he crossed. I got my chance to see it in 1984. I took a photo, but have not had it scanned.

I was there for my 30th birthday and I remember laying on the ground between the two towers and taking a very artsy picture, one of many during my trip to the REAL Big Apple a great city to visit.
