Grand Canyon National Park wants visitors to stop leaving love locks behind. The practice involves locking a padlock on a fence and throwing away the key.
Park officials are trying to identify some idiot who lured a squirrel to the edge of a cliff at the Grand Canyon recently...and for no reason, kicked it INTO the Grand Canyon. All they know right now is he was speaking French.
Just a few months back Nik Wallenda crossed the Niagara Falls in front of millions of spectators. As a 7th generation member of the daredevil 'Flying Wallenda's Family' Nik likes to push the envelope. This time he set out to cross the Grand Canyon, 1,400 feet across and 1,500 feet up.
I've marveled at the lunacy of going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. It's been tried a handful of times in the last hundred years, and a couple of people have actually survived. They went over the falls on purpose.
But driving your car over the edge of the Grand Canyon and surviving is pretty much unthinkable, by accident or deliberately.
