WTOP Entertainment Report Jason Fraley chats with legendary high-wire artists Philippe Petite, who performs death-defying stunts this Thursday and Friday at the National Building Museum in Washington D.C. They discuss his stunning career, including his 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers in New York City, a feat that inspired the 2008 documentary “Man on Wire” and the 2015 narrative film “The Walk.” (Theme Music: Scott Buckley’s “Clarion”)
