Niagara Falls, Ontario

 He made it!

For the first time in over one hundred years, someone has crossed the Niagara River on a high wire ~ for the very first time crossing at the brink of the Falls.
With a massive crowd watching, aerialist Nik Wallenda, of the famous Wallenda family, accomplished a life-long dream on Friday.  Walking 1800 feet through heavy mist and changing winds, he communicated with his father and safety crew through a headset. "It's an unbelievable view," he told ABC.
