The Man Who Walked Between the Towers Review by Tamara West

I thought they were very clever to dress up as construction workers to get into the building. How did they do that? Did anyone ask them questions on their way from the door to the top of the tower? I wonder if they created a story about why they were in the building and did the other 2 people do the same thing in the other tower?

"He made fake identification cards for himself and his collaborators (claiming that they were "contractors who were installing an electrified fence on the roof) to gain access to the towers." As the target date of his "coup" approached, he claimed to be a journalist with a French architecture magazine so that he could gain permission to interview the workers on the roof".
I found these answers on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Petit

I also think they must have been very strong and exercise a lot to be able to carry that cable and their tools all the way up 181 stairs. Did they have anything to eat or drink? Didn't they want dinner? I would've been very hungry.

I wonder what happened to the other 3 people that were on top of the roof and helped him. Who were they and where did they go?
