• @pablorenoir I don't think that's fair. He didn't need and didn't want it. It was forced on him. in reply to pablorenoir #
• I'll also try to post a couple of screenshots #
• Well, that's all for tonight. It was a great show. I know a few people who were there tonight, so I'll try to get their perspective #
• The broadcast is over #
• How can you pray for help when you are doing something so risky? God gave me this ability and provides a way #
• "The only technology this guys needs is a pole" #
• What's next? The Grand Canyon! #
• @ClaireMacCMS I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be. Probably have to wait for the broadcast to be over due to the sound in reply to ClaireMacCMS #
• He called his grandmother #
• How does he kneel on the wire?!?! #
• Thank you to the Niagara Parks Commision for allowing the walk to happen #
• I wonder what Jay Cochrane thinks of all of this #
• Here come the commercials again #
• I love you Dad #
• The family legacy has been increased #
• The male broadcaster talks way too much #
• What is the purpose of your trip, sir? To inspire people around the world! #
• He's checking in with customs #
• My wife just asked if he was going to go back the other way #
• Fantastic show! Way to go Nik #
• He ran to the end #
• He's almost there #
• He just waved at the crowd and kneeled #
• He's hearing the crowd now over the roar of the Falls #
• He's drained. His hands feel like they are going numb #
• "the mist was thick" #
• He is now officially in Canada #
• Wow, does he ever look focused #
• He's walking uphill now #
• He feels like an idiot wearing the harness #
• Sometimes it is hard to tell if his "oh God" comments are praise or if something bad is starting to happen #
• @scottandros Did they not divert the water tonight? in reply to scottandros #
• He looks drenched #
• The shots showing the sag in the wire are amazing #
• He just complained about the weather station on one of the pendulums #
• I didn't think the Maid of the Mist went out at night #
• 10 minutes in… So far so good #
• He's hitting the mist now #
• He can't see the wire move because of the other movement in his field of view #
• Great camera shot as he is over the brink! #
• They are asking Nik questions live! #
• You can really see the wire move when they show the shot up the wire #
• No mist yet. No insects. Harness feels fine #
• He is obviously a very religious man #
• The birds flying around must be distracting #
• I'm at the edge of my chair! Really! #
• He's approaching the lip/brink #
• Being able hear what his father is saying is cool #
• The harness does look like it would be a drag (literally) #
• "see you on the other side guys" #
• Here we go! #
• He's waving #
• That seemed like a long 2 minutes #
• I wonder if the Niagara Falls Ribfest was helped or hurt by the crowds heading to Table Rock #
• 2 minutes to go… The last of the commercials… Yay! #
• How can Wallenda not be nervous ?!?! #
• I would definitely say a prayer, too! #
• 5 minutes to go #
• How can you have a broadcast about a wire walk in Niagara Falls and not mention Blondin?!?! #
• David Blaine apparently wished him luck #
• They just said the walk would be shown without commercials #
• 10 minutes to go #
• Are there really 100,000 people there in Niagara Falls? #
• The lighting ABC brought in sure lights up the Falls nicely #
• "I love what I do" – Nik Wallenda #
• I also thought CTV would jump in every once in a while to say their own thing, but it seems to be all simulcast other than the commercials #
• @paintvrules I knew the time had been changed, but hadn't heard he would be watching in reply to paintvrules #
• It just occurred to me that they are probably showing all the commercials now so they can show the walk uninterrupted #
• The first Wallenda's performed in 1780 #
• No goggles #
• There are rescue baskets at each end of the wire #
• Nik feels that the harness is holding him back #
• I didn't realize Nik Wallenda was younger than me #
• Just over 20 minutes to go #
• ABC also could have talked about Niagara Falls NY and how they are suffering #
• I wonder how the Ringo Starr concert was tonight and if he will be watching the walk #
• The segment about the science of the walk was also pretty cool #
• The segment about the Wallenda family and their history was good. #
• I also thought they would mention other Niagara Falls daredevils. Again, nothing so far. #
• There are A LOT of commercials! #
• @adamwhite I still thought something would be said about Niagara Falls as a place to visif in reply to adamwhite #
• There have been a couple of gorgeous shots of the Niagara SkyWheel #
• I don't watch much TV, so I've never heard of the weather guy and the male co-host. I remember Hannah Storm from NBA broadcasts #
• I'm sick of all the DQ and MMVA commercials! #
• An hour and a half into the broadcast and they mentioned the harness for the first time #
• I thought that ABC would show more of the things to do in Niagara Falls (SkyWheel, Marineland, Bird Kingdom, etc). So far nothing. #
• The top twenty stunts of all time shown on ABC was interesting. Some of those stunts were crazy!!! #
• What's the right hashtag… #wirewalk or #walkthewire ? #
• In case anyone is wondering, we decided to avoid the crowd and watch the show at home. So far Niagara Falls looks pretty good tonight! #
