This was an excellent film with a great deal of tension in anticipating his accomplishment - event though we already know he will do it. Quite amazing - security would not such a feat these days. I great tribute to the towers themselves.

saw the movie recently. phillipe is one of the greatest storytellers in the history of man!

Genius.

It wouldn't make a difference if there were no laws at all.

Even Petit could have failed. This was a huge amount of skill combined with quite a bit of good fortune. Petit himself states in "man on wire" that death is right there, close.
It doesn't make sense to create a different law for one person. Also, if he happened to fall and winds would take his body away from the towers he could fall on someone.
Again, this was a once in a lifetime poetic endeavor, which is why the laws are just fine the way they are..

I've seen someone getting pulled at his jacket when he tried to basejump from the wtc, almost causing a failed jump and maybe his death because he would get out of balance from the start. The guy and later police doing that, did so because of the law.

Haha but do you really think many people would get up there to try that except from talented persons like Petit? Even if so (wich i doubt) wouldn't mean they would attempt it after looking over the edge once. When you're allowed or just free to do something don't mean you do it. Also someone who want to commit suicide and jump off a building won't be bothered by the law i think.

Well, since it would be bad for anyone other than an extremely talented person like Petit to try and do it, you can't really say the law is wrong.
It was a beautiful achievement that is even bigger because of the adversity that had to be overcome. Clearly the story could have gone wrong; that's why no law would ever allow this.

No that our rules and laws are not that ok.
