Tall - But True - Tales of the Towers
In 1977, George Willig, a.k.a. "The Human Fly", climbed to the top of the World Trade Center. Coincidentally, Willig's mother worked in the Empire State Building in 1945 when a U.S. B-25 bomber crashed into what was then the tallest building in the world. Thirteen people in the office where Willig's mother worked were killed, but she survived.
