Tightrope walker, Nik Wallenda crosses Niagara Falls on a wire, June 15, 2012. Famed tightrope walker Nik Wallenda completed June 15, 2012, the first walk across 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 the stunt. Wallenda's walk on a cable suspended 196 feet (60 meters) up over a never-before-traversed rim of the biggest waterfall in North America took under 30 minutes, considerably less than expected.
