Still Probably Safer Than Trying To Cross Broadway On The Ground
-
Good luck to Nik and Lijana Wallenda, the brother and sister tightrope walkers who plan to cross Times Square on highwires 25 stories above the ground on prime-time TV. Here's the thing: They're amazing daredevils, the whole family is, and I wonder if they suspect that some people watch just to see them fall. Yes, that's kinda sick, but you KNOW there are people out there who are watching purely in case something bad happens. Also, I wonder what it's like to discover that your family business, into which you're likely expected to go, is that risky, like the Wallendas of the Gruccis of fireworks fame.
