Niagra Falls Tightrope Walker Makes History!

By Shakeeb Muhammad

An American stuntman Nik Wallenda, 33,has become the first person in more than a century to cross the Niagara Falls on a tightrope.
Congratulations to Nik Wallenda, who successfully crossed over the Niagara Falls on a tightrope for more than 1,500 feet!   The water crashed over the precipice at 65mph, 200ft below him. Upon reaching Canada from the New York side:

“Welcome to Canada. May I see your passport, please?” Nik pulls his passport out of a small pouch. They ask him what his purpose of his trip to Canada is and he says


“to inspire people all over the world.”

Wallenda's next stunt will be an attempt to traverse the Grand Canyon !
