Default Nik Wallenda Crossing the Grand Canyon

Did anyone watch this? I grew up watching the Flying Wallendas and their pyramid. This was very scary watching, and I'm thankful he made it.

I remember when the Wallendas had that horrible accident. I can't stand to watch any of that. I really see no sense in it.

I tuned a couple times, but watching him made my stomach do flip flops. I don't like heights. I did watch the last minute or so to see that he made it.

I'm glad he made it OK but don't see the point in it.

I watched some but couldn't take it. Think he is just doing it for publicity. WHY in the world would a human do this? All the time he was thanking, praising God, Jesus, asking for help (which I think he needed a whole lot of). Crazy. To me it was like watching paint dry.

I don't like suspense. I was working on my Dresden Plate quilt blocks. I was listening to talk radio.

I woke up at 1 am to watch. Must admit had to look away for some of it especially when you could see the drop. New walk is in New York am I right the Criisla building to forgot. Some people do amazing things although not sure why. Not me.
