You Can’t Unsee These Photos That Captured The Moments Right Before Tragedy Struck

A True Daredevil’s End

Karl Wallenda was a true daredevil and often worked without a safety net. In 1978, at age 73, the circus legend and famed high-wire walker embarked on a walk 121 feet above the ground, between two hotel towers in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, he did not complete this walk. He fell to his death all while the accident was captured on film… this photo is from the beginning of Wallenda’s ill-fated walk.
