Skyscraper Live with Nik Wallenda

AndonHandon

This is about to occur in the next hour or so. Basically a daredevil by the name of Nik Wallenda is going to walk on a tightrope between two Chicago skyscrapers and the event will be streamed live on the Discovery Channel with a ten second "death delay".

Considering this man has young children, I think he is an idiot for doing this.

Micky Dolenz

Am I the only one thinking, it would be really cool if he fell?

"Death delay".... Jesus.

His life, his choice, but not one I'd ever make.

AndonHandon

I don't think those online streams have the death delay!

Okay if he wants attention that bad I'll give it to him provided there's no safety bull****. Everybody knows its only interesting if he can die.

Death delay, is that like purgatory?

I watched him walk the Grand Canyon, very hard to watch, even when you watch it again it's still nerve wracking! Anyway I think he's fcukin amazing, it's in his blood... I think he'll survive again tonight!? God bless him absolutely awe inspiring.....

Richard tea

Thanks for the reminder op. I watched his last walk with all his jesus thanking:pac: Considering this goes onto 02:30 is it likely he wont start the walk till 2am???

His uncle karl died doing the same thing, the video of him falling is on YouTube, was 30 years ago.

Nib

It was his great grandfather Karl that died.

AndonHandon

One of the camera streams is from his chest, facing his feet.

mikeyjames9

didn't he have a safety device last time out to stop him falling down?

Kerrydude1981

So he is doing one walk up an incline and another walk blind folded with no saftey line

Time to get the Pringles out I think

JONJO THE MISER

Can someone post up what time this gets started as im watching football.

Nabber

DiscoVery channel, filming in USA. I'm sure nothing will be staged.

Take it they got tired of following people while they do their job.

Or is that the history channel?

AndonHandon

I'm not sure how I feel about those corn on the cob buildings.

Dont think it will start untill about 2am

Think he should change his name to Thick Bellenda. Surely he can find another way of getting his kicks.

He's getting well paid by the broadcasters.

Look, there's no hope of him dying, it's all illusion.

Timmyctc

Surely he's gonna have a safety net/cable no?

Is it worth getting out of my cosy bed for and heading downstairs to watch?

I was one of the idiots who sat glued to the TV when that town in Denmark or Norway or wherever opened the buried box. What an anti climax that was!

Richard tea

Looks like he is starting soon. Thank christ. This over hyped yank talk tires me out

Oooh I'm getting up! Anyone for tea and toast?

pablo128

I'll be a little bit disappointed if he doesn't take a tumble, if I'm honest.

swiftman

What or who was buried in the box?

Did he want him to bounce on the tightrope?

I wonder what would happen if someone shone one of those green laser thingies in his eye.

bigtimecharlie
