Circus Artist Makes History Crossing Danube on Tightrope

A Hungarian circus artist crossed the river Danube on a tightrope in Budapest on Saturday. Members of the Capital Circus of Budapest have been preparing for months for this historic event, the first time a person has crossed the river using this method. Award-winning circus artist Laszlo Simet had to walk over 900 feet at a height of nearly 100 feet on a tightrope.
