My favorite part of the story is that at his trial in NYC, the judge sentenced him to community service by performing for the children in the park.

Well he outlived the towers themselves, what a legend.

[briitash]

Imagine holding a world record that you know can never be broken lmao.

[williamb]

I love how all the authorities were like "that was illegal and we have to arrest you, but...that was pretty cool."

[torieldreemurr]

As a person who is afraid of heights, watching even the summary gives me chills.

[nikitkothale]

What amazes me is how he managed to balance with those massive balls

[ProfessorTakatoPalm]

You really have to give Philippe Petit credit. He didn’t do what he did to prove himself brave to to be famous, He did it because it was for the art. To this day he holds the record that can never be broken. Philippe Petit walked across the wire eight times while many would have just done it once.

[MARKCRASTO]

Everyone thought that he would lose his life, but amazingly he ended up outliving the Twin towers that made him so famous.
RIP Twin towers.

The difference between bravery and stupidity is survival. Had he died, people would laugh and give him Darwin award.

[muneebnajam]

His odds of surviving were pretty low and that of the towers pretty high

The fact he is still alive . And the towers aren't . This shows that the odds don't always dictate the future .

I worked on this movie as a Senior FX Technical Director. I was responsible for the low altitude clouds / mist surrounding Philippe and hugging the ex-twin towers while he doing his daredevil walk on the wire. It was a great experience.

[gammatheprotobean]

Fun fact, Philippe Petit is still alive today, he's 72 years old.

[Sun_Dayzzz]

As idiotic as he is, he gained my respect. He finished a huge goal, wasn't satisfied with it, and did it all over again with some extra flair. I can only imagine how that felt

[Max-bodi]

His Dream seemed Small, but he never gave up, it Literally took him to the Top of the World. Never Give Up.

[healthyself]

This is the most spectacular, amazing, feat of physical skill I've ever seen!! I visited the top of one of the twin towers, and even from behind the safety of glass, standing on a solid floor, looking down at the streets was scary. Phillipe's performance was super human. Truly.

[baconbankai]

Interesting to think that people will remember him as brave and inspirational but however if he fell he would have likely just been seen as a reckless idiot.

[rectal_anxiety]

Nobody gonna talk about how this man ran away from home on a unicycle?

[misterx]

Sad that Joe Gordon Levitt never made it as Hollywood gold but he's shown to be more than a serviceable actor. He's one of the guys where if he's a supporting actor in a movie, it should be good.

I've been rewatching this video every so often because it always reminds me that once a person finds their purpose, nothing and no one can stop them. I'm in my early 20s, and I'm currently still trying to figure out what my purpose in life is. I've reached a point where I'm "good" where I am, but I feel like I'm capable of more. In a sense, I feel stuck. Mostly because I don't know what I want and/or what I'm meant to do. But videos like this give me hope. Once that person finds their purpose, nothing can stop their drive and ambition. Idk who needs to see this or if anyone is at the same point as me, but keep searching. The time will come when your true path will be revealed, and when it does come....nothing will stop you.

[theghostreckon]

The fact that in robbery movies they have 5 people and this guy needs a whole middle school lunch club group to tie a rope across two towers shows how intense this actually was.
