Create drama. Get people to watch. Sell more advertising.

What happens if the volcano heats up the wire while he’s on it?

Cool, but it doesn't top Philippe Petit's walk between the Twin Towers.

After 30 or so feet, the hight of a tightrope makes no difference.

Feeling angst doesn’t bode well for him. Expect disaster.

Hasn't just about everyone in his family died while doing that stuff?

I saw Karl Wallenda at the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. I had a family member who played for the Braves so we went to a lot of games, and 'The Great Wallenda' just happened to be there that night.

If he falls in, he’ll be “The Frying Wallenda.”

I’m surprised this is being done, since the last few televised tightrope walks did not attract a high number of viewers.

This is a classic circus act, which takes time to perform and a long attention span to appreciate. I’m guessing most people under 40 have never been to a full blown circus and seen the usual acts. Cirque du Soleill specializes in acrobatics, yes, but mostly while close to the floor, nothing like this.

I remember seeing the news of the death of Karl Wallenda, in 1978.

I just get the feeling this isn’t gonna end well. Volcano + 1800 foot tightrope = Intuition.

Jeff Ross is said to be scheduling a roast for Nik, which will be appropriate regardless of the walk’s outcome.

Sounds like a Darwin Award candidate.

He needs to really look closely at the risk/reward equation.
