French daredevil Philip Petit walked across a tightrope strung between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City on this day in 1974. The stunt caused a massive traffic jam on the streets below--1,350 feet below!
One of the most beautiful things I've seen, the documentary and the action of tight rope walking. Why did he do it? For beauty, he was led, who cares? It's incredible. It won an Oscar last year too btw.
