The Flying Wallendas did their tightrope walk over Times Squre last night.
It was 25 stories high, between two skyscrapers, for 1,300 feet. It’s a brother and sister, and they both were safety harnesses, it was the sister’s first walk since her 2017, when she fell 40 feet and broke every bone in her face.
They completed the walk successfully.

The 31st annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest went down this weekend in northern California and the winner this year is a small mutt named Scamp the Tramp.
His signature features are beady eyes and wild, disheveled, multicolored hair, some of which has matted into dreadlocks. He also has short, stubby legs and zero teeth.
Scamp the Tramp’s owners will get a trophy, $1,500 in cash, and an appearance on the Today show. The contest will also make a $1,500 donation to an animal shelter in Scamp’s name.
Watch out world, a new ugliest dog has been crowned.
