Philippe Petit Walks a Tightrope Between the Twin Towers in 1974
A 25yearold French daredevil did a tightrope walk across the top of New York in 1974 on a 131foot cable strung between the 110story 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 25yearold 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.
