Thames Wire Walk Flyer (1 of 2) - 14th September 1997

On evening of Sunday 14th September 1997, 2 stuntmen crossed the River Thames in London, both walking across the same 1,000 feet steel wire, 150 feet about the Thames.

 

Jade Kindar-Martin aged 23 from American and Didier Pasquette, aged 29 from France, took half-an-hour to cross the one-inch wide wire without a safety net. When they met in the middle Kindar-Martin stepped over Pasquette who sat sideways on the wire.

 

They were the first to cross the Thames by tightrope from opposite ends simultaneously.
