Nik Wallenda Chicago tightrope walk live blog
Nik Wallenda completed his two Chicago highwire feats Sunday, walking first over the Chicago River between the Marina City west tower and the Leo Burnett Building on a tightrope stretched at a 19 percent incline, then blindfolded between the east and west towers of Marina City. He set two new world records and thrilled Chicago and Discovery Channel audiences. Here is a recap of the event captured live through tweets, photos, videos and other commentary.
