Remember when this guy did the walk,was the news of the country. Where no man would in his right mind want to take a walk.
Having said this, the history of this event pre-dates 911 by so much, that I can find it difficult for make a reference to it since it happened so long before the 911 event itself.
It might be a way to remember his stunt, not the tragedy. Its what I see from it. Not the windbag after.
Anyone remember the skit on I think SNL back in late 2001 about them changing the 1970s King Kong with new voiceovers and edits to make it seem like Kong was on the Chrysler building instead?

Check out the true story, Man on Wire . Great documentary. Amazing stunt, and I didn't know that it had been unofficial, covert, guerrilla, whatever. I really have to see the movie now.

I am not talking about that. I felt the same way. My beef with this trailer was that several shots which were what the victims would have seen as they dove out the windows near the top of the towers.
