Question: who tightroped across the twin towers?
Answer: The hullabaloo was over a Frenchman named Philippe Petit, who was walking on a high wire more than 1,300 feet in the air, suspended between the tops of the Twin Towers of the old World Trade Center. In 2015, filmmaker Robert Zemeckis honored the feat in a film called The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit.
