Daredevil Recreates Tightrope Between Twin Towers 50 Years Later
August 9, 2024
It's one of the most stunning feats the world has ever seen! A daredevil walked a high wire between the iconic Twin Towers in 1974. Phillipe Petit was 1,350 feet above New York City. Fast-forward 50 years later, Petit commemorated the golden anniversary by returning on the wire. At 74 years old, he's staying a little closer to the ground. He's 20 feet high on a wire that stretches across New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
