Will you be watching Nik Wallenda's walk across the gorge tonight?

He made it. What a joy to watch -- and it was tense to watch but I'm glad I did watch the walk.

It was amazing watching Nik last nite, just fantastic, and the camera views of the falls were spectacular! That walk must of been the greatest feeling ever, and he had the best view of the falls a person could ever hope to see!

It was amazing to watch.....and his little shuffle/dance at the end was great! I cannot imagine the tension and anxiety his family must have been feeling watching and waiting for him on the Canadian side.

The Canadian guard asked him for his passport when he was safely on the ground! That was funny and lightened the mood.

Yes he does have those permits. He said that last night when they were interviewing him.
