Daringly conceived, elaborately planned, and flawlessly executed, the "artistic crime of the century" was committed when French high wire walker Philippe Petit rigged a 200-foot-long cable between the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center and set out on a hair-raising and illegal journey, more than 1,300 feet above the ground, between the skyscrapers on August 7, 1974.
