"man on wire"?
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155592/) Its about the guy who walked between the twin towers in the seventies. Great film, incredible scale. Remember this Justin? Any new yorkers?

I'm a New Jersyan but I remember Frenchman, Philippe Petit doing this.
I also remember in 1977, George H. Willig The Human Fly climbed one of the towers. Amazing stuff. |

He spent 45 minutes on the wire. He even lied down on it in the middle.. BRASS ****s
(from "rounders", comes a great quote) like papa walenda said "life is on the wire, the rest is just waiting"

They can only be talking about ONE man: Philippe Petit
And of course I remember it, I was in high school. |
