From the archives: Philippe Petit’s Twin Towers walk
On August 7, 1974, French highwire artist Philippe Petit stunned the world when he walked a wire illicitly strung between the Twin Towers of New York City's World Trade Center. In this “Sunday Morning” profile that aired on February 22, 2009, Petit, the subject of the documentary “Man on Wire,” talked with correspondent Anthony Mason about the birth of his dream to take his “profound” walk a quarter-mile in the air.
