Daredevil to walk over Niagara Falls June 15th, 2012
 
Wallenda walking the fine line between danger and safety - Canada - CBC News

Everyone will be watching.. and wondering.. will he fall or not?

Edit. ABC making him wear a safety harness.

JSALES 06-14-2012 10:15 PM

would've been more exciting to watch if he wasn't wearing a safety harness

westopher 06-14-2012 11:22 PM

As much as I didn't want to see him fall and die, the whole harness thing really makes it about as uninteresting as a guy walking across a bridge.

I was there the other day and there was tons of news crews, even 3 days before it's going to happen.

edit: not to mention there was lots of HUGE gusts of wind

Great68 06-15-2012 09:10 AM

I was there on tuesday, and they were just setting up the cranes to get the wire across. Wallenda was saying he was pretty worried of the tether screwing up his balance, moreso than fear of the walk itself.

Excelsis 06-15-2012 09:36 AM

is he walking across with the balancing stick?

dinosaur 06-15-2012 09:40 AM

ABC has been pimping their ads for this shit for daaaays!

Greece's public services are about to collapse, a man is jailed in Indonesia for not believing in their "God", and the Egyptian parliament has been disbanded... but a man on a wire is what makes news.

ABC is the epitome of soft media. But then again, what else could we expect from a Disney-run television network
