this guy wouldn't have been born yet when I saw the Wallendas at King's Island back in the early seventies. I'm old.
Then guy on tv just said that any sign of lightning would quash the attempt. I would think lightning would make it more fun. And do it at night--there's a big full moon out.

Can I put tightrope walking in the hate thread. It's just silly.
That guy has nads the size of beach balls. You know the old saying, 'there are no atheists in foxholes'? Well, there apparently are no atheists when walking a 1400-foot cable over the Grand Canyon either. I liked what the announcer told him afterward -- "I knew when you stopped thanking God and started thanking the Discovery Channel people, you had it".
Close to a million tweets about this walk on Twitter since he started, so it must have been watched by a whole lot of people. Discovery Channel wins.
