Nik Wallenda’s tightrope walk crossing from the United States to Canada event was watched by an estimated 13 million people on ABC TV and affiliates in prime time on Friday 15th June about 10 p.m. East Coast time.
EFSS, Wilmington Del., was selected in an overview role to check the structural engineering of the cable that the Wallenda Group had invested in. It was designed by an engineering company resulting in a two-inch diameter cable, far broader than Nik’s usual tightrope walking using 5/8-inch diameter lines.
