For us old peeps; we remember Philippe Petit.

He and a team snuck into the World Trade Center towers, got to the top with a 450 pound line, a 26 foot pole; used a bow and arrow to get string and then heavier wire and finally the cable across the 140 foot space between the twin towers, connected them, and...

Shortly after 7:15 a.m., without hesitation, Petit stepped off the South Tower and onto his 3/4" steel cable. Petit made eight crossings between the still-unfinished towers, a quarter mile above the sidewalks of Manhattan, in an event that lasted about 45 minutes. During that time, in addition to walking, he sat on the wire, gave knee salute and, while lying on the wire, dialogued with a seagull circling above his head.

Port Authority Police Department Sgt. Charles Daniels, who was dispatched to the roof to bring Petit down, later reported his experience:

I observed the tightrope 'dancer'—because you couldn't call him a 'walker'—approximately halfway between the two towers. And upon seeing us he started to smile and laugh and he started going into a dancing routine on the high wire....And when he got to the building we asked him to get off the high wire but instead he turned around and ran back out into the middle....He was bouncing up and down. His feet were actually leaving the wire and then he would resettle back on the wire again....Unbelievable really....[E]verybody was spellbound in the watching of it.

I made it to the part where he sat on the wire, in this post, before I started feeling queasy. I'm so scared of heights, I have trouble standing on a small porch that's 15 feet up.

best part of this morning's story about this in the Times:

“He’s disrupting the city,” said Zee Mosher, 33, a graphic designer with a portrait of Buckminster Fuller tattooed on his neck. “He’s endangering his own life and the lives of other people.”

A portrait of Buckminster Fuller tattooed on his neck? Where'd he get that, art prison?

Yeah, I'm confused as to why it was felt the emphasis of a "LIVE man" was needed. Is there a rash of zombies climbing bildings that I'm unaware of?
