www.electrictv.net
A team of Union workers from O'Connell Electric and IBEW 1249 installed the cable for Nik Wallenda's high wire walk in Chicago which took place on 11/2/14. Installing the cable from the Leo Burnett building to the Marina City Towers and again between both Marina City Towers (east and west) was no small feat. Go behind the scenes and see how they helped to setup for this world record-setting performance.
