Also the furthest fall should something drastic happen.

I bet people will just watch and hope he doesn't make it. personally I don't understand daredevils, I quite like living without taking stupid risks!

The fumes would space him out in less than a min, yeah good luck..

Nutcase.

...Then he will walk over the WH and poo

LOVE! As always, my prayers are with you as you plan for your next victory.

What ? The Grand canyon wasnt big or long enough ?

While reading this and seeing the picture I was pretty sure he died doing a stunt until I got to the end.

This sounds smart. Let's high wire walk above something that is tectonically unstable, creates its own thermal gusts, and spews toxic gasses into the area that will be walked through. Not to mention when you die no one will be able to recover your body.

Stupid

Let's hope that this talented tightrope walker can withstand the heat. I personally would not trust Mother Nature with this one. She may have a morbid sense of humour. ; )

The floor is literally lava.

Who cares? PS. RIP

This sounds illegal 🧐
