SkyscraperMan™ is the true story of Dan Goodwin, a renowned American rock climber who scaled many of the world’s tallest buildings, including the Sears Tower and the World Trade Center, dressed as Spider-Man.

On the surface, his actions may seem to be that of a publicity seeking stuntman; however, nothing could be further from the truth. In 1980, after witnessing the MGM Grand Hotel fire in Las Vegas, where scores of guests were left on their balconies to die a horrific death, ‘Spider-Dan’ set out to warn the world of shortcomings in high-rise firefighting and rescue. He soon discovers however that he has stumbled upon a secret so well guarded that some are willing to stop at nothing to keep the world from finding out, even it means committing murder. Despite the odds he persists, even developing techniques and equipment that, had they been available in the World Trade Center, 9/11 could have had a different ending. Underlying it all is Dan Goodwin’s relentless pursuit of the very comprehensive Skyscraper Defense Act, the first draft of which he wrote in the aftermath to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

This non-fiction thriller will surprise, inspire, and educate you.
