Title
George Willig, Climber at WTC [Archival Radio Broadcast]
Description
Amateur rock climber George Willig scaled the south tower in 1977. He was arrested when he reached the top, but his stunt generated such a positive response that the city only fined him $1.10--a penny for each story he climbed. This clip includes audio from press conferences held shortly after the event.
