French tightrope artist Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga left thousands of spectators stunned after walking completely untethered between two towering slag heaps in northern France. Around 328 feet above the ground, Bongonga performed splits and even hung upside down during the 1,312-foot crossing, which took about 37 minutes to complete. The daring performance was designed as a tribute to the region’s coal-mining history, with Bongonga saying the human-supported wire represented the idea that 'we can do great things, but we can’t do them alone.' #tightrope #france #news #viral
