I was an 11 year old living in New York City when Philippe Petit walked across the Twin Towers. With a lifetime ahead of me, I thought what Petit accomplished was going to happen a lot & be a regular part of life's journey. 50 years later, I've learned that Petit's magical feat would be the most extreme of exceptions.
I watched the movie about this, "The Walk" in 3D and, yeah, the highwire scenes were freaky. If you have access to a Quest VR headset and watch it (in 3D, not 2D) you'd swear you were stepping off that tower. Excellent movie.

I love what he said about the Twin Towers: "They're still alive...you carry them inside you." That is what I do with the Towers every day. Thank you, Philipe!!
Petit’s legendary walk is by far the most beautiful and artistic crime the world has ever known. Even the NYPD were in awe when they witnessed his epic walk.
@@kenneththorberg6914the NYPD were sent up to the roof of the trade center to arrest him for trespassing on federal property. When they saw him on the tightrope they immediately ignored arresting him and watched him keep walking until he was finished. For them it was a once in a lifetime opportunity more than it was a crime.
@@Chatterbox-94 They most certainly did not "ignore arresting him." They couldn't get to him without toppling him (and possibly themselves) off the wire, so they waited for him to finish. And while I'm sure they enjoyed the show in the meantime, they ultimately DID arrest him.
I remember seeing his documentary years ago. Caused me much anxiety just watching him complete that incredible high wire walk. So happy to hear he is still alive!
From 1971 to 1975, I attended the oldest Catholic High School in the United States, La Salle Academy, in the Bowery section of Manhattan. While there, I was on the varsity track team. Many of our runs were down to Battery Park (the Southernmost tip of Manhattan). On them, we would go right by the still being built World Trade Center complex. This area was known for the gusty and swirling winds coming off New York Harbor. I can only imagine what the winds were like being 1,368 feet up walking a high-wire. For this reason, when I first heard of Philippe Petit doing this on August 7, 1974, I couldn't believe it. Bravo Philippe Petit. Mark R. Elsis
That’s the thing that gets me. Adjustments for the wind are one thing when just talking about the wire and concentration. It’s the fact that you have your cables attached to two buildings that are also swaying with that wind. This takes super human concentration and discipline to pull off just one time, let alone 8.
His walk was the most incredible and daring thing he ever did. Every time I watch his documentary I'm reminded of the man who accomplished the greatest stunt the world has ever seen.
His 'coup' was just the day before Nixon went on air to resign. The country was DOWN, seriously in spirit. Aside from the sordid details revealed in the Watergate hearings, the last days of Vietnam still hung in the nation's conscience. This walk, this DANCE of this French poet was so elevating. More than a rebel or a distraction, he was a latter-day angel, a Lafayette liberating our spirits. I was in SOHO & saw it. I watch now with tears & sweaty palms. How hauntingly sad the buildings are.
I remember being a little kid living in Queens, going to the WTC. We weren't allowed up to the top because the upper floors were not completed, yet this man made it to the roof and did this amazing thing. I remember watching the news of his arrest and when the judge fined him $1.10, a penny for each floor, I was so happy for him.
I went to his even August 7 I snuck and and snuck thru the back after and got to meet Philippe he was a very nice guy I told him he inspired me and he was Happy to hear that I’m 21 now I was 7 when I first discovered his story and I was always fascinated and one of my dreams was to always meet him 1 day and on August 7,2024 my dream came true Thank U Philippe 💯
the best thing that can happen to a man is to discover your purpose in life. This man has surely found his purpose. Watching him is beautiful. This is inspiring. He will do that for free anytime anyday and that's what brings him joy and peace.
How the f*ck is it "inspring?" Risking death in a pointless stunt just to impress other people? If he was doing something useful while risking death, that might be inspiring.
I remember as a teenager walking past Central Park & a man had ropes tied between 2 Old Fashioned Lampposts...some people were laughing at him, others (like myself) were mesmerized & wondering why was he practicing so intently.... I remember "cutting class" when WE REALIZED THAT SAME MAN IS NOW WALKING A TIGHTROPE BETWEEN "THE TWIN TOWERS"!!! Those WERE "THE DAYS"!!! 👍👍👽
I was born in 2000, so I was only a year old when 9/11 happened. However, I know how deeply the Twin Towers meant to so many people around the world, including Phillippe Petit. This guy is forever a legend, keeping the legacy and memories of the Twins Towers alive and well. As majestic as the current WTC complex is with Freedom Tower, I can only imagine what it would be like if the Twin Towers were still there today.
My mom remembered this, she stated to me she had a medical appointment that day, early in Lower Manhattan. She said Omg! Lol! She called my father on a public phone.
This brings back memories for me. I saw Phillipe on that wire live on the news. I was just four years old when I sat on my dad's lap, watching in awe. I was scared he was going to fall. It's so nice to see that Phillipe is still walking the wire in 2024. What an amazing human being! 🙂
@@thomasdeturk5142honestly considering they survived a full speed commercial plane crashing through it and still surviving as long as they did with the intense heat melting the steel, and managing to fall straight down I’d say they were designed very tough, other than the safety things
The towers where actually built to withstand a plane collision from a Boeing jet @@thomasdeturk5142 however, the plane used to destroy it was the newer models that surpassed the maximum of the towers.
Thank you Philippe!! We will always love you dear brother. Those towers were put there just for you to write your poetry in the sky ❤ Happy 50th anniversary!
it's so amazing to see when people are passionate about something and what they can do with their strong intentions! Loved to watch this story after reading an old news article about it.
I'm absolutely in love with his paint chart shirt at 1:26. He's also a brilliant artist. It's amazing he was able to set this up without authorities noticing. A man still living his passion. A lesson for the rest of us?
Yeah. Good for this guy. I'm so profoundly vexed by heights that I was only able to make it 2 minutes in before just looking at the pictures had my head spinning to the point I had to grab my desk. Wow.
I’ve watched both the documentary and movie about Philippe many times. I cannot get through my head how he had not only the skill, but even more so the courage to do that walk in 1974. I’m not generally afraid of heights as long as I feel secure. A harness, a large metal guard rail, etc. But without those my hands and feet sweat uncontrollably, my legs turn to jelly, and I lose my balance. Even at heights of maybe only 20-30 feet. So the height of the twin towers? On nothing but a metal wide? With winds? 🤯 What human beings are capable of is astounding. I feel like such a weak failure compared to people like Philippe.
Amazing and inspiring. I was not alive for the first one. But im sure that seeing a human do something so spectacular, allowed for a moment's escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and the negativity on our news stations, which was this man's goal
We saw that on tv I was a teenager it was amazing everyone watching in Amezement they let him go they told him he had to do a show for the children somewhere in the city..😃
Philippe is an amazing guy incredibly brave to be on a wire so high up. Also the story on how he got on top of the twin towers to set the wire up is also incredible.
Can't believe this dude is still alive.
He's 74 now
Lasted longer than the buildings by a quarter century, RIP never forget never forgive
@thepatriarchy819 don't let the Jews know
Heck, I can't believe he is still walking tightrope at his age.
Why wouldn't he be alive now?
Back and forth 8 times????? Philippe Petit has a fearlessness that is incomprehensible to me.
Apparently he said he wasn’t scared as he ‘knew he wouldn’t fall’. 😮. He is however scared of spiders..
Well when he walked across the twin towers on a tight rope he laid down on his back a few times. That’s just insane
Cops didn't get to him until then?!
8 times between the Twin Towers??
I was an 11 year old living in New York City when Philippe Petit walked across the Twin Towers.

LOL that's actually pretty funny, but yea this absolutely bonkers. I can't imagine seeing this in person. That's awesome
When you find God in your heart everything becomes magic. It's time for humanity to awaken.
Bro has magical feet for real. No Diddy.
I can’t look at these photos without thinking I’m about to fall myself
I lost my balance and I'm sitting in a chair
Yo too weak. Your mind is confused

Me too 😂
my hands were so sweaty watching this lmao
We are lucky to have this inspiration of a man still alive in 2024!
Absolutely unimaginable… buildings gone …but he is here still …

Gosh, I miss those towers 💔
They symbolize peace, love, and harmony. Those evil terrorists didn't believe in that. R.I.P. to the innocent lives that were killed on 9/11.
@@nathanielcruz6675and they still don't. Be cautious, because they're still planning. Jihad isn't over.
The Freedom tower is no match for what it replaced.
Gee golly gosh. Oh gosh. Thank gosh they built a new tower with a superior design. My goshness.
@@duckmercy11it looks like a lifeless tower that they painted blue to make everyone feel good about it… nobody likes the new tower at all.

This guy's a legend 🐐
It’s crazy to think that the man outlived the towers
What a beautiful man! His dedication to his art is unmatched. The greatest individual feat of all time I believe.

Man on Wire is such an awesome documentary!
Unbelievable. Scary. Some humans are amazing creatures. This dude is one. No way I would ever!!!!!
Beautiful human being. Bravo my friend.
Indeed this was an interesting story
The movie, "the walk" has beautiful cinematography during for the twin towers scene.
What an inspiration! Love it. Thank you.
God Bless that man for showing the wonders of the world and mankind at once.
I will pray for America.
Please pray for me.

Going to have to stream that documentary soon.
Mr Petit still has an amazing gift of skill and balance.
I can't even comprehend doing this. I would have an effing heartache
wow what an absolute gem of an experience to have.
Philippe Petit a living legend ❤
Petit is the Maestro.
I would recommend “Man on Wire” to everyone. He’s amazing. ❤
@donnaarsenoff8399 "The Walk" is another good one.
And the book!
I'm absolutely in love with his paint chart shirt at 1:26. He's also a brilliant artist. It's amazing he was able to set this up without authorities noticing. A man still living his passion. A lesson for the rest of us?
A bunch of nostalgia wrapped up in this brief video. Very cool
Still such a surreal and amazing performance.
I wanted this interview so bad. Thank you, CBS.
Even at his age, he is still fearless and skillful. What an amazing man
The piece by Satie has long been one of my faves.
i’m still fascinated by this legend
It just amazes me how someone could do that. That’s some balls right there! I probably couldn’t even look over the side without having a panic attack.
Looking at footage or photos of him walking between the towers actually makes me feel nauseous.I cant believe he did that!
I remember hearing about his walk across the Towers when it happened! I think he got a lifetime pass to go into the Towers later on.
Seeing Man on Wire on a giant screen is still one of the most harrowing experiences I’ve had at the movies
Totally Fearless, no matter how many times he practiced it. Formidablè
This event was one of the most mind blowing stunts ever in humanity. Jesus Christ Almighty
Yeah. Good for this guy. I'm so profoundly vexed by heights that I was only able to make it 2 minutes in before just looking at the pictures had my head spinning to the point I had to grab my desk. Wow.
I was a young Upper West Sider when he did that. I couldn't imagine doing it then. Or now!
To become one with the buildings like that.. astonishing to say the least.
I remember reading about his amazing exploit in the Reader’s Digest..just like it was yesterday. And am 61 now.
I’ve watched both the documentary and movie about Philippe many times. I cannot get through my head how he had not only the skill, but even more so the courage to do that walk in 1974.

So the height of the twin towers? On nothing but a metal wide? With winds? 🤯 What human beings are capable of is astounding. I feel like such a weak failure compared to people like Philippe.
Balls of steel
It was such an amazing documentary to watch. I so happy I stumbled upon it on random night. Honestly he doesn’t even look like he aged lol

This was when I first heard of the Twin Towers, in California.
Amazing person.
Wow, so inspiring!
He absolutely loves what he does. This is not the kind of a job you can force upon someone I believe 😅
Zack D Films bought me here
I am 72 years old. Thank you.
I still can't believe to this day this guy had the brass steel balls to do this ..
Happy 50th Anniversary! You are GREAT! Love to you 💥
The view he marveled at as he inspired the world is the same view that some people had in their final seconds. Never forget
I LOVE that piece of music.
The Erik Satie piece is very soothing
Philippe is an amazing guy incredibly brave to be on a wire so high up. Also the story on how he got on top of the twin towers to set the wire up is also incredible.
I came here, from a short.... just to find out how he got the wires across 😅. Bravo good sir.👏🏾
No one can repeat it 😊
Please watch the documentary! It’s for anyone who has a dream or a passion!! 🙏🏻
I never knew this guy did that until I saw the movie
That guy is a legend...
