@ripleysbelieveitornot: Would you walk across Niagara Falls for a plate of eggs? 🍳 In 1859, French tightrope walker Charles Blondin became the first person to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope. He stunned crowds by performing daring stunts high above the roaring falls, from pushing a wheelbarrow to riding a bicycle, and even cooking an omelet on a rope less than an inch wide! See Blondin’s unbelievable gear up close at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Niagara Falls. @allysoneye #Ripleys #BION #RipleysBelieveItorNot #History #niagarafalls #tightrope
