''Skyscraper Live with Nik Wallenda'' is a Discovery Channel special that aired on November 2, 2014. The special was billed as a highwire walk by Nik Wallenda across the city of Chicago in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Skyscraper Live with Nik Wallenda )〕 Specifically, he walked wires between three skyscrapers "all of which are taller than the Washington Monument." On one of the walks he was blindfolded; on the other the wire was at a 19 degree incline. The event was broadcast live on the Discovery Channel in the United States, and in over 220 countries around the world. Viewing figures for the special ranked it as one of the most live watched broadcasts on American television since 2010. Critical reaction to the event was largely positive. ==The act and telecast== Even Wallenda's training and preparation for this event received substantial attention. In the special, highwire artist Nik Wallenda walked along a tightrope between three buildings in Chicago, without a tether or net to catch him if he fell.〔 After completing the first walk, he undertook a second attempt while blindfolded.〔 Wallenda completed the first walk in seven minutes, and did the blindfolded walk in a little over a minute. The telecast was on a ten-second delay in case something went wrong with Wallenda's walk.〔 Nik Wallenda is a seventh generation member of The Flying Wallendas, and this event was billed as an homage to his great-grandfather.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skyscraper Live」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
