Daredevil walks on tightrope across Niagara Falls

In a TV interview seen yesterday before he made the walk, he seemed calm and cool. Glad to see he is keeping his family tradition alive by completing a dangerous walk on a highwire. Always have been a Wallenda highwire fan ... even in the face of death they take on the odds of getting safely to the other side ...

You have to admit, that is a great photograph.

wow, humans are amazing.

I remember the Wallenda's being on television from way, way back.

Amazing! Made in the mist!

I seem to recall a video of the TV event where his great-grandfather failed and died after falling off the tightrope.

This tradition goes back 7 generations in his family. Crazy stuff.

Well, not my cup of tea, but good on him -- especially since it was a childhood dream. Would indeed be a spectacular view if you have the stomach for something like that.

ahhhh......oops........ahhhh----oops......ahhhh-----oops----ahhhh---hee----geee--done it?---yeah, he has done it!

It may have been a little further downstream, but most people regard Blondin to have been the first:

Well isn't that special!

I was so excited, I forgot to clap!
