Daredevil Nik Wallenda has successfully crossed a gorge near the Grand Canyon on a high wire, becoming the first person to attempt and complete the walk 1500 ft above the Little Colorado River.
A misstep would have meant death for Wallenda, who walked without a safety harness or safety net below him. He carried only a pole for balance and took 22 minutes to walk from one side of the canyon to the other.
Despite strong winds and dust blowing into his eyes, Wallenda safely made it across the wire.
