- Philippe Petit walks on a wire from a tall building to the top of the
Cathedral Church St. John the Devine on the other side of the
street.
He has in 1974 linewalked between the two towers of
World Trade Center.
The wire was installed by him and his crew. A hard job
because of the intensive traffic in New York.
Music : "Facades"
New York 1982.
I love how he smiles during it. He's in his element.
love the music....beautiful images. I love Philipe Petit. There is a fine line between genius and crazy. (he's right on it.) ;)
Sounds like Phillip Glass.
@@jeffthomasscott it is.
Glassworks album
I get it
I don't know exactly why but this brought me to tears
The music fits perfectly,it gives the video a hypnotic atmosphere
The Music is by Philip Glass, a great British composer, I have all his music.
DoubleRX Knight Hunt his not a british
@@onlylexus Philip Glass is American. Was a kid in Baltimore.
this guy is one of the best performers in history ,thanks for existing your work is timeless
I felt sick in my stomach from start to finish of this video. That is crazy - so many things could go wrong so easily. What an amazing artist he is. And nuts.
He has a body like a Greek statue. Gorgeous, charismic man. Totally outrageous.
This guy is INCREDIBLE!!! Can't find the right words to describe his courage. 👌
This is being completely in tune with your being he's so confident in his balance
philippe petit is truly amazing in every way,he defo has balls of steel. just watched a video of him walking on a wire on the world trade centers/the twin towers but sadly it was pictures,such a shame it wasn't filmed on camera. the twin towers are over a thousand feet tall. and he walks the wire from tower to tower, totally amazing indeed......
wtf he makes it looks so easy
lol at the lady who said, "oh boy, am I glad that's over" hahaha
His balls of steel give him that perfect balance.
I finally found the raw footage that I've been looking for thank you
I can't believe there's no footage of the walk. They've been filming the crew and Petit practicing and discussing the plan but they didn't take a single camera up there on the towers to shoot such an epic event?
+floyd0987 there's no footage because the walk was all fake. Fake like the moon landings. #illuminati
oberstul no the walk is a real story
floyd0987 there is i watched it but it's like a compilation video
That's the beauty of it
oberstul stfu
What is true art? Phillippe Petit is, and what he did in New York is ART!
Phillippe Petit, one of my hero's, a man with an art form that is indescribable, truly profound and graceful beyond imagination. This man walked on a tightrope across the 2 world trade towers that were in New York, which is now "ground zero". Some may think he was crazy to do so, but I think it was true art in its purest form. After coming down from his walk on the rope, the New York police and journalists kept asking him the same stupid question "Why did you do it?" why? why?, there can be no such question, such a question is totally unnecessary and meaningless to ask. It is like asking a great mountaineer why he wants to stand on top of Everest, it is like asking why did Angelo paint his works of art? Art has nothing to do with "Why" it has more to do with the fact that it is there to be done, and more to do with the human spirit and what we are as humans, and what makes us human. When Phillippe Petit walked across the tightrope strung between the world trade center, he became art, ART in its truest sense, in its most purest undiluted form. Even to their eyes the stunned onlookers, from way below, knew that something graceful and remarkable was taking place way above them, something extraordinary, something that made their hearts leap with utter amazement and with joy. I wish I had been there to witness this great man doing this. This man is the epitome of what humanity is, he is the man that spits in the face of death with a smile, and still lives to tell his graceful and elegant tale. I cry with tears at his art, and what he did in New York, why do I cry? I do not really know, tell me??
There you go again.... go away!!!
If he was ur hero spell his name right
Fimmy bakare 😂😂😂
nice spelling dude
Beautiful text, idiotic replies
If you watch "Man on Wire", you will see how much training and discipline he did on his own to be so great. Though, he surely has natural exceptional talent/coordination
Great performer and a master of his art.I still get terrified of seeing the photos of Philippe performing his death defying walk on the Twin Towers.He certainly had guts.One slip and that would have been it.
I always wondered if Pbilippe felt any fear performimg that particular stunt,even though he performed it flawlessly.A real legend.:)
este hombre es un icono, me encanto la pelicula "the walk"
Que suerte que en ese momento no la bombardearon

I actually saw this from below with my mom! It totally blew my mind then, and seeing it now blows my mind all over again! Thank you so much for uploading this.
園・ really omg were you scared?
@@Bex-rd9md why would he be scared dumbass
@@gamerbot8043 maybe of the guy falling down???
@@partisan72 no your dumbass
@@partisan72 bitch
Bravo! He's incedible! Thank you, sir!
He was on there for over 45 minutes, went back and forth 8 times, the police officer said he bowed 3 times from the waist, layed down putt both hands behind his head and seemed to just take a nap , he jumped up with both feet completely off the wire and then landed back on , they asked him what he thought of this stunt, the police officer said it was the greatest thing he ever saw
Legendary
That was his twin towers walk not this one.
Это прекрасный фильм об уникальном человеке* восхищена. Филиппом и пересматриваю эти кадры. Живите в здравии ‘
Phillip you helped me at a time when I felt life was over...I CANT THANKYOU ENOUGH FOR SHOWING US GREAT COURAGE. I HAVE YOU DVD AND IVE WATCHED IT SO MANY TIMES AND IT STILL DOES WONDERS FOR ME...I REMEMBER YOU SYDNEY HARBOUR WALK..I WAS TEN...I SALUTE YOU PHILLIP PETIT
There is nothing petit about his ball size.
Vermilion Inferno eww
Rebekah Nielle HES speaking the truth tho
Rebekah Nielle he’s not wrong
Why are men obsessed with their ball sizes
La beauté d'un instant de folie fait par un poète !
No words....just, no words.
My hands and feet still break in a sweat watching him perform. Fearless and confident. Wow. World Trade Centre was just ballsy.
He kinda looks like Alex from A Clock Work Orange :D
+vegeta solo My thots exactly
Hell, yes! ;) That's exactly my thoughts
+vegeta solo You read my mind
Without the bowler hat
Iba a comentar lo mismo
Un gran artista....y logró su objetivo... Y detrás de este logro años de práctica ahí está el secreto...
Great music, great video, what a man!
Extraordinario, increíble, fabuloso, superdotado. Felicidades.
Philippe is a legend, a hero.
Its 2018 still watching him, and I still got the same feeling, i just died for a few minutes every step still holding my breathe, why I am not like this on watching horror film?? 😂😂😅, only his walk on the wire...
Special people like this make life interesting
Es inspirador para la gente que desea lograr un sueño
Incredibile!!! Coraggio senza limiti
Breathtaking.
I was 14 years old seeing this live from Amsterdame Avenue. I lived around the corner.
Remember seeing these tightrope exhibitions on television, as a kid, in the 70s
Cuando lo vi senti escalofríos x todo el cuerpo pero luego vi su rostro y me transmitió paz y a la vez lagrimas es algo mágico gracias Phillippe Petit
Ролик выложен ещё до снятия фильма) классно что про него вспоминают)
Philippe Petit is a one of an kind dude.
C'est magnifique! :)
El hombre que logro hacer un acto único e irrepetible por razones obvias.
La lección detrás del hombre y de los edificios que verían sus actos: Lo imposible con esfuerzo se vuelve posible
Clearly Petit has absolutely no concept of fear at all.
Actually, if you watch "Man on Wire" or interviews with him, he expresses some fear, or at least an acute awareness that he may die.
@@ephraimlessell I disagree. Guys like him are wired up differently to the rest of us.
@@jeffallinson8089 You’re probably right, but I wouldn’t write “guys like him”. I get that there are other people who are relatively fearless people, but I think Petit is unique, and not in the sense that everyone is unique. . Consider what Petit does and what it requires. Petit pursues original dreams and succeeds when the feats he dreams of require 1) tons of work 2) lots of practice 3) hours and hours and hours of research and mostly original planning as the feat has never been done before 4) superlative physical condjition 5) extraordinary physical coordination 6) ability to convince friends and strangers alike to assist 7) willingness to be arrested 8) ability to conduct complex setup of feats which require extensive physical work in secrecy 9) Intelligence to self-instruct, research projects, calculate physical needs of rigging, and be solely responsible for inspecting equipment and setups for safety, 10) willingness to risk arrest, conviction, and sentencing for feats which are illegal 11) the ability to perform at highest level despite any surprises and the high risk of death. Any one of these elements would prevent most people from succeeding at one of Petit’s feats, even if they shared Petit’s dream
@@ephraimlessell Don't forget the fact that he had huge balls of steel. No way on gods earth could I have done what he did. No way at all.
@@ephraimlessell I just took that out from our public library and I was impressed with the care that was taken by Philippe and his friends/crew in preparations for the walk.
El est il super Number One complimenti..🇮🇹🇬🇧
There was suposed to be video of it but for whatever reason,there are only still shots . Sure was an amazing event. I was 18 when he did it and it was on every front page of every newspaper around the world. Audacious prank for sure !
Este loco es de otro mundo,!!!
Top geezer is our Philippe! ⛅️ 🦅 ✅
beautiful and amazing
Goosebumps.
Absolutely stunning…no Normal human being can even imagine doing this….
Philippe...you are so loved!!!!
Maravilhoso...que coragem...grande artista.
Assista A TRAVESSIA.......FANTÁSTICO
Watching TCM, The Walk (a Petit biography movie) is coming up next which explains why I looked this up. Surprised this is 82 could of sworn it was in the 70's. I grew up in front on St, John so vaguely remembering all the media and watching the hole thing.
Why do you want to see video footage of the walk when you can hear Philippe telling the story? It’s so perfect that there isn’t any video.
che artista
Espectacular !!
El hombre tiene dones indescifrables,solo tiene que desarrollarlos, entonces se vence los desafios, felicidades Philip
Incrível ❤🙌🏼
He reminds me of Patrick Swayze.
i watched the film the walk in 3d it was unbelieveable it made it more amazing this guy has nerves of steel 👍👍
He´s amazing!
Exelente hombre con don especial 😎😎
Philippe Petit is a French high-wire artist who gained worldwide fame for his daring and illegal wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City on August 7, 1974. The event, known as the "Man on Wire," was later documented in the Academy Award-winning 2008 documentary of the same name directed by James Marsh.
Philippe Petit meticulously planned the unauthorized stunt, which involved sneaking into the World Trade Center, setting up a steel cable between the North and South Towers, and walking on it without any safety harness. The wire walk itself lasted for about 45 minutes, during which Petit performed various tricks and even laid down on the wire.
Petit's act was a feat of extraordinary skill, balance, and courage, capturing the imagination of people around the world. After completing the walk, he was arrested but later released, and he became a public figure known for his daring and artistic approach to high-wire walking.
In addition to the documentary, Philippe Petit has written books about his experiences, and his story has inspired artistic works, including the 2015 film "The Walk" directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Philippe Petit.

I still can’t believe he’s able to sit and lay down on a high wire
If you are intrigued or love this: see "Man on Wire" (documentary narrated by him of his walk across Twin Towers of WTC). Trust me, you will love it (Note: it's a bit long)
That's frikin crazy kool!!!!!!!!!!
Sou fã ! Como gostaria ter visto ele atravessar as torres gêmeas . Eterno phelllipe Petit
The greatest tightrope walker in circus history
Gracias

Is the music Phillip Glass?
You insane beautiful man.
Domínio da mente e do corpo!
конечно он феномен
..есть художественный фильм о нём....
Philippe said during the WTC walk, he actually heard people on the ground talking.
At the end when his wife goes to hug him it seems like the baby is dangling on a tightrope while they are having a grand hug.
Wait.. didn't he wear black during that?
That was the twin towers walk in NY
The lady “ oh boy am glad that’s over “‘ lol
