Video: Nik Wallenda Walks Over Niagara Falls On Tightrope

Nik Wallenda exuberant after wire walk across Niagara Falls

“I hope what I do and what I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies,” he said.

He described a breathtaking view during the nighttime walk illuminated by spotlights that “compared to nothing.”

“There was no way to focus on the movement of the cable,” said Wallenda, 33. “If I looked down at the cable there was water moving everywhere. And if I looked up there was heavy mist blowing in front of my face. So it was a very unique, a weird sensation.”

He said he accomplished the feat through “a lot of praying, that’s for sure. But, you know, it’s all about the concentration, the focus, and the training.”
