Nik Wallenda completes tightrope walk over Niagara Falls

NIAGARA FALLS: Famed tightrope walker Nik Wallenda completed Friday the first walk over Niagara Falls in over a century, braving winds and heavy spray in his historic feat.

Tens of thousands of spectators were packed on the US and Canadian sides of the falls to watch Wallenda, 33, complete his feat. The walk on a cable suspended 196 feet (60 meters) up over a never-before-traversed rim of the biggest waterfall in North America took less than 30 minutes, less than expected. (AFP)
