Tight rope walk of Niagara Falls


What can I say amazing and thrilling to watch..
I am impressed..
something that will never happen again in my lifetime or possibly my kids..

only negative I have to say is that ABC, pissed me off when they showed the international boarder line.. - boy were they off.. actually the whole horse shoe falls is Canadian.. they made it like it was all theirs. LOL damn Americans.

The Canadian Crossing guards were a comedy routine - trying to speak french..
really?!? does anyone care ? nope a guy just walked across the falls faster than I can cross in my car LOL

only other error in broadcast was they said no one else has ever done it.. but they are wrong
James Hardy in 1896 did it..

James Hardy tight rope walked across the Niagara River gorge, not the falls.

Ok, but you might want to wear reflective clothing.

Look up Blondini. He was the real deal.

Paint drying would be equally intriguing.

It was amazing to see a simple good news story get so much press coverage for a change.

I thought the event was harmless fun. A stunt for sure, but Wallenda's message of pursuing one's dreams and facing challenges head-on were very positive.
