They crossed the Crossroads of the World — hundreds of feet above the pavement.
A brother and sister from the famed Flying Wallendas circus family on Sunday night successfully crossed a tightrope suspended between two skyscrapers 25 stories above Times Square.
Seventh-generation daredevil Nik Wallenda, 40, and his sister Lijana, 42, started at opposite ends of the 1,300-foot wire between 1 and 2 Times Square and crossed in the middle, in a sweat-inducing stunt aired live on ABC.
This was Lijana’s first high wire feat since a 2017 near-fatal accident in Florida that left her and four other members of the Wallenda gang injured.
The duo wore safety harnesses required by the city.
