Daredevil Nik Wallenda walked across Niagara Falls on a tightrope

US tightrope walker Nik Wallenda has fulfilled his dream of walking on a tightrope across Niagara Falls and into the history books as
Nik Wallenda, a member of the famed "Flying Wallendas" family of aerialists, took a little more than 25 minutes to walk 1,800 feet (550 metres) from the U.S. side in the dark of night over treacherous waters and rocks in a nationally televised event.

"wind coming from every which way," mist so powerful it clouded his vision and an unfamiliar wire beneath him,

but Nik Wallenda didn't let that stop him from becoming the first person to walk on a tightrope across the Niagara Falls.

He took steady, measured steps Friday night for 1,800 feet on a wire across the widest part of the gorge of the roaring falls separating the US and Canada,

accomplishing what Wallenda  said was his childhood dream — albeit wearing a tether. "I feel like I'm on cloud nine right now," an exuberant Wallenda told reporters after his feat.
