Only reason people will watch this is to see him fall.

CHICAGO (AP) — The tightrope is waiting for Nik Wallenda in Chicago.

The 35-year-old high-wire artist plans to perform two nail-biting walks that will be televised around the world Sunday.

The Discovery Channel will use a 10-second delay for the broadcast, allowing producers to cut away if Wallenda falls. He plans to perform the walks without a net or harness.

First, Wallenda will walk uphill at a 15-degree angle from the west Marina City tower to the top of a skyscraper on the other side of the Chicago River. Next, he’ll walk between the two Marina City towers wearing a blindfold.

Steven Dahlman lives in the east Marina City tower. He says his neighbors are a little worried, but excited to be “in the middle of a world event.”

That was the craziest thing about watching his grandpa or whoever fall. It took awhile. Dude obviously could have grabbed the rope if he wanted to. That was some Lt Dan this is my destiny shit.
