The Ropewalker Incident refers to a controversial event during a 1976 performance by tightrope artist Philippe Petit, who famously walked between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. On August 7, 1974, Petit performed his daring act without permission, which led to his arrest and a subsequent media frenzy. The incident highlighted issues of art, law, and the pursuit of personal ambition, ultimately becoming a symbol of creativity and defiance. It was later immortalized in the documentary "Man on Wire" and the film "The Walk."
