Mainly curious about how difficult that was.
Thanks.


After viewing it and the runup to it, it's not a stunt that is
that life threatening. He had a whole group of experts to help
him all along the way. They knew, with certainie, that it would
be successful. NO errors could be made though which could have
had disastrous affects. He didn't make any and it was successful.

I note that many of have stated that he is more than a little
nuts. Not in this case. He is a craftsman and surrounds himself
with other craftsmen that makes what appears to be impossible to
be possible.
