So we have it on. What's most disturbing to us right now are the commercials for shows Discovery will be running.

Something is telling me that there's going to be some kind of last-minute cancellation. If not, I wish Nik all the best. Seems like a good guy.

"live" event. The family was able to back engineer the rigging that Karl Wallenda used in Puerto Rico and determined that the death was a result of the bad rigging. KW relied too much on others for his rigging. That is sad, because if his family had overseen the rigging there is a good chance that he would have made it.
