director james signorelli assisted with creation of the book "to reach the clouds" (2002), about the twin towers walk. petit not only wrote about his feat, and events that led to the performance, but also expressed his feelings following the september 11 attacks, during which the twin towers were destroyed. he wrote that on that morning, "my towers became our towers. i saw them collapse – hurling, crushing thousands of lives. disbelief preceded sorrow for the obliteration of the buildings, perplexity descended before rage at the unbearable loss of life." petit paid tribute to those who were killed and supported rebuilding the towers, promising that "when the towers again twin-tickle the clouds, i offer to walk again, to be the expression of the builders' collective voice. together, we will rejoice in an aerial song of victory." a different complex of buildings has been developed on the site, and does not offer this opportunity.
