  • Crazy Is Cool: Philippe Petit, full stop. The towers walk wasn't his only crazy stunt, as he previously did the feat at Notre Dame and Sydney Harbor Bridge. The guy loves watching heist movies and also wanted to do something illegal, but took this action instead of a robbery because nobody would get hurt. He even gladly acknowledged the possibility that he might die crossing the towers, saying his death would be worth it if it was while fulfilling his dream.
  • Nightmare Fuel: While it took a suicidal amount of bravery to do what Petit did, any other person would have most likely died of fright being up that high.
