    I remember speaking with an elderly man last September and he was saying he was the actual security guard at the top who yer man managed to get by.
    Was he fired?

    Indeed, and the highlight/lowlight was how those complete ignorant and classless cops could see nothing fantastic about it. They hadn't an ounce of appreciation for what had transpired. Mugs!

    Sure the guard was saying how you couldn't have called it a walk, how it was more like he was dancing across the wire. Surely that shows that he was appreciative of the act?

    Far fetched? It actually happened, though? Like, it wasn't fiction...

    A beautiful film, no tacky model of the World Trade Center on sale in Lower Manhattan will ever come near capturing the beauty of it all like that film does. I like how they don't really go near that day either, but its tragic to think the site of such a moment is gone.

    A slightly mad Frenchman no doubt, but aren't the best ones like that? 68 comes to mind.
