Nik Wallenda Completes Utterly Terrifying Tightrope Walks In Chicago Sunday Nov 02,2014

 
This is the truly frightening moment Nik Wallenda wowed Chicago and the world on Sunday with two hair-raising skyscraper crossings on high wires — without a safety net or a harness, and even performing one blindfolded

Thousands of cheering fans packed the streets around the city's Marina City towers to watch the 35-year-old heir to the Flying Wallendas' family business complete the back-to-back walks.


"I feel incredible," Wallenda said after completing the tightrope walks.


Wallenda said strong winds and the steeper-than-expected angle of the first high wire caused him to hurry his performance. He had practiced at a 15-degree angle but said the wire was actually at 19 degrees.


"That cable looked like it was going straight up," he said.
