I saw this on TV, and he did die. His grandson (or maybe son, I forget) did the exact same tightrope in the exact same place a few years after this incident, and despite having difficulty in the same place this guy did, he made it across safely.

I personally don't see the thrill of walking between two buildings 100ft off the ground on some string...

I remember in my World History class, my teacher starting talking to us about this, then he showed us this clip. Its Karl Wallenda. The Wallenda's were circus performers. And yes, he died. He was 73.

His scream was hilarious that's why we laughed... and isn't there some law... that we can't have videos like these to watch (deaths)? And if you guys saw it on TV... I think it's too extreme to have something like this aired... I dunno O_o

crossing between two buildings is a lot different than doing it at circus performance. there is a lot more wind up there and you never know what's going to be thrown at you. One good gush can throw you off balance and cause you to fall just like this guy did.

Tip: If you are in a public bathroom just pull up your pants, walk out all nonchalant, get some of the heavy duty hand towel, wet it down, go back in the stall and wipe clean.....repeat as needed.

If more of us would do this, it is likely, that through evolution we will eventually begin to develop some flight capability. Oh the lemmings do this to cut down their population? I guess we already evolved then.
