I studied this subject and spoke about it with some people close to me. I reflected in thought to write about it here. I was one year old when Karl Wallenda plunged to his death on March 22, 1978, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. His attempt: Cross a tight wire between the tallest hotel buildings on the island at 120 feet, 10 floor stories high; with absolutely no protection underneath. Wallenda had successfully done this many times in the past, and at 73 years old he was confident that he could do it once more, just one more time. Are they brave? Certainly.
