Man on Wire

Pretty cool documentary about a high-wire walker who crossed the Twin Towers. He spent a total of 45 minutes on the wire, crossing 8 times, and taunting police who were waiting for him on the roof. But the most interesting parts were how he and his crew smuggled all of their equipment into the WTC, eluded security guards, etc.

It's on Comcast On Demand in the free movies section. I believe it's also streaming on Netflix.

If that were me in the picture, it'd be captioned man shitting on wire. That dude's got bigger balls than Screwball's girlfriend.

I saw this and thought it was great. I agree with MgoTard-TimeSpecial that the most interesting part was how they got their gear up to the top.

Well there's no TV involved so you wouldn't be interested.

Fascinating story. I have not seen the movie but have read a bit about this in the past. Frenchie did seriously risk harming individuals on the ground, though.
