I was struck by the fact that Phillipe did this at all. He seems a bit crazy, but in a fun kind of way.
I wonder if Phillipe had to do this illegally, or if there was a way that he could have gotten permission. I was listening to npr the other day and they were talking about a guy who wants to do the same thing but at Niagra Falls and he is doing it (or trying to do it) legally. Here is the link:

I am guessing that it never would have been legal then, but maybe now there is a possibility of it being legal because of all the publicity from his story.
I've read an article at home about flag pole sitting, which is similar. I know that he did that legally, so Phillipe MIGHT have been able to get persimmision. Here is a very short wikipedia article about the fad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole-sitting
