    Default Man on Wire.

    Went and saw this film Thursday night, awesome, audible gasps from the audience at some of the pictures shown, made me feel a little queasy.

    Recommended viewing.

    I want to give wire walking a go.

    Interesting. It's odd seeing the Towers again.

    my thoughts are if they can make a good movie out of that they have achieved something.

    I will wait for the DVD.

    Yes, the fact that they no longer exist makes the film all the more poignant.

    There is some incredible footage of the construction of the towers, no safety gear at all apart from the odd hard hat.

    hm, I guess since I was 2 at the time I didnt take much notice, kind of an interesting story, after you are done with the DVD maybe you can send it up this way River?
