7 August 1974 - HIGH-WIRE ARTIST WALKS BETWEEN THE TWIN TOWERS:
Frenchman Philippe Petit walks out onto a cable he's illegally rigged
1,350 feet in the air between the Twin Towers of New York City's World
Trade Center. Petit performs a 45-minute high-wire act, complete with a
bit of joyful dancing, to the cheers of astounded onlookers.

Philippe Petit; born 13 August 1949) is a French high-wire artist who
gained fame for his unauthorized high-wire walks between the towers of
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris in 1971 and of Sydney Harbour Bridge in
1973, as well as between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in
New York City on the morning of 7 August 1974. For his unauthorized feat
400 metres (1,312 feet) above the ground - which he referred to as "le
coup" - he rigged a 200-kilogram (440-pound) cable and used a custom
made 8-metre (30-foot) long, 25-kilogram (55-pound) balancing pole. He performed for 45 minutes, making eight passes along the wire.

Since then, Petit has lived in New York, where he has been
artist-in-residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, also a
location of other aerial performances. He has done wire walking as part
of official celebrations in New York, across the United States, and in
France and other countries, as well as teaching workshops on the art. In
2008, Man on Wire, a documentary directed by James Marsh about Petit's
walk between the towers, won numerous awards including the 2009 Academy
Award for Best Documentary Feature. He was also the subject of a
children's book and an animated adaptation of it, released in 2005. The
Walk, a film based on Petit's walk, was released in September 2015,
starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit and directed by Robert Zemeckis.
