Nik Wallenda successfully completes longest high-wire walk EVER over Milwaukee Mile

Ahead of the wire walk, there was one question on the minds of nearly everyone gathered at the Milwaukee Mile. Will he make it?

“What if he falls? You just don`t know what`s going to happen and I think that`s exciting.” Mary Downing said.

...Wallenda’s death-defying wire walk was the main event at the Wisconsin State Fair on Tuesday evening.

...There seemed to be more nerves among the crowd on Tuesday evening than up on the high wire.

“I was pretty sure somebody was going to die. Probably him — but you know, maybe somebody else — but definitely him,” one spectator said.

After about 40 minutes, Wallenda calmly reached the end of the wire — and the answer to everyone’s question was answered: He made it.

Nik Wallenda is a seventh-generation member of a famous family of daredevils. He’s made a name for himself — walking across Niagara Falls and between skyscrapers in Chicago.

His longest walk prior to the walk at the Wisconsin State Fair was across the Grand Canyon.

I'm glad this spectator was wrong:

“I was pretty sure somebody was going to die. Probably him — but you know, maybe somebody else — but definitely him,” one spectator said.
