I SAW one of the 'Wire Walkers' at the Falls in the early 1960's when I was a lad of about 9 years old. I also saw 'Pole Sitters' in Atlantic City in the 60's. Those were the days!

Half the water in the river is diverted by the US and Canada for hydroelectric power, so imagine what the falls would look and sound like at 100% flow.

I find incredible that the people who rode on the walkers backs didn’t get more credit. They were the real “DareDevils”

I thought same thing! Maybe Nick saw this program and it inspired him to go for it? Still a cool documentary, and there’s also the barrel crazies. Haven’t seen that trick attempted in a while either! Haha

Is the movie 🎥 they play at the Greg Frewin theatre? Instead of going to Harvey Lalonde's celebration of life ( June 11), I camped out overnight of the Greg Frewin theatre in Niagara Falls to buy a ticket for the 1030 film. The theatre opened at 930 am and the staff said they were closed for renovations. It was first time in my lifetime that I decided to be like one of those crazy TIFF members camping overnight to buy a movie ticket . I can't get the internet to work a lot of the time to buy online tickets! R.I.P Harvey Lalonde!

Going over the falls is illegal. A tightrope crossing is approved “once every generation”.

I was born and raised in Niagara Falls and lived there for 36 years before I fled the Democratic People's Republic of New York. I knew 4 people who were killed by the river. 3 drowned and 1 jumped the falls because his ugly wife cheated on him. The Niagara River is no joke. Since they built casinos on both sides of the river....many suicides of degenerate gamblers. I still have nightmares about the river. The first man to swim the English Channel challenged the lower river at the rapids, which are most dangerous in the world, they never found his body. From time to time there would be stories in the newspaper about a human torso discovered at the Coast Guard Station at Fort Niagara. The Niagara River killed one of the Coast Guardsmen, you ever hear of members of the Coast Guard drowning? The river is no joke.

I LOVE it!! Democratic People's Republic of New York!! So appropriately put!!! WOW - smart! I have never been to Niagara but always wanted to visit (safely LOL). I would love to see the Canadian side, not the NY side. Would like to do the Maid of the Mist. But I hate huge huge huge crowds - like Disney type crowds. So I may do it in the dead of winter - although now I think that it is getting popular too. Oh how do I escape the ugly of the human race?? LOLOL
