Saving Hope Sneak Peek Video
Nik Wallenda, Niagara Falls Tightrope Walker, Crosses 1,800-Foot Chasm Between U.S. & Canada
Nick Wallenda completed the ultimate (tightrope) walk of fame last night.
His insane 1,800-foot journey over the roaring waters of Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three waterfalls that constitute Niagara Falls and separate Canada from the U.S. in Western New York State, makes the term "daredevil" sound almost passe.
An estimated 112,000 people watched in person. Here's the video:
"I hope what I I just did inspires people around the world to reach for the skies," Wallenda, 33, told reporters after his fear, which aired on ABC.
He said he was "on cloud nine" after braving blinding mist and "wind coming from every which way" on his 30-minute international tightrope walk.
"There was no way to focus on the movement of the cable," he said. "If I looked down at the cable, there was water moving everywhere."
Conversely, he added, "If I looked up, there was heavy mist blowing in front of my face. So it was just a very unique, a weird sensation."
That's putting it mildly. So how did Nik, who paid homage to his circus family, the Flying Wallendas, possibly make it through such a harrowing stunt?
"A lot of praying," he said. "A lot of praying. That's for sure."

Pacman Jones Ordered to Pay $11 MILLION to Strip Club Shooting Victims
NFL star Pacman Jones, the poster child for pro athletes behaving badly, must pay $11.6 MILLION in damages to the victims of a Las Vegas strip club shooting.
Pacman (real name Adam) had been sued by Aaron Cudworth and Thomas Urbanski, two security guards who were shot outside Minxx strip club in February 2007.
The now-famous incident began when Jones "made it rain" with THOUSANDS of $1 bills ... then got pissed when a stripper began taking it without his permission.
A fight ensued outside the club and three people were shot, including Cudworth and Urbanski. Pacman was sued, even though he was not the actual shooter.
A Nevada jury found Pacman Jones responsible and awarded Cudworth $1.3 million in damages. Urbanski, who was paralyzed from the waist down, got $9.6 million.
Urbanski's wife sued for loss of marital relations and won $750,000.
At the time Pacman pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, receiving just a year's probation and 200 hours of community service.
He was suspended for the entire 2007 NFL season and part of 2008 as a result, and is currently a member of the Cincinnati Bengals ... at least for now.

Miranda Cosgrove: Off to College!
Miranda Cosgrove is leaving the television world for the real world.
The actress spoke to E! News last night at the Young Hollywood Awards and talked about the final season of iCarly, which is currently shooting.
"Everybody's been crying," Cosgrove said. "But it's nice because everybody's moving on to new things. But we've all had so much fun doing the show. It's definitely sad."
And where is Cosgrove off to now? College!
"I'm going on a little summer tour and then I'm going to start at USC in August," she said. "College is awesome. I guess I really don't know what to expect because I've been home schooling a long time. So I think I'm just excited to be back in a classroom with kids and stuff."
We wish the rising (life) star all the best.
