lerxt1990 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Excellent documentary about the guy who tightrope walked between the towers in 1974. Very well done! http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTMxNTk3NDY1NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNDk0ODg3MQ@@._V1._SY317_CR0,0,214,317_.jpg http://lukeford.net/Images/photos/phillippepetit9.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadwing2112 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 What a wicked documentary. I got the pleasure of seeing this in theaters without much knowledge prior to seeing. Kept me on edge the whole film, in a really really good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Very good documentary. My palms and feet sweat watching him cross that distance at that height. There's NO WAY I could watch something like that in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know.. mind boggling wrt that height and going back and forth... laying down on the wire..! Holy crap balls. I can't even imagine what gusts are like up there even on a relatively calm day.
