Daredevil casualties, Lincoln Beachey and Robert Overacker, the 1969 de-watering of the American Falls, are the basis for this story… how they came together.

SYNOPSIS:

In the early days of aviation, setting records was easy for the brave flyers because none had been set before. Lincon Beachy became one of those dare davils, an aerobatic genius. In 1969, governments thought that Niagara Falls should be de-watered in order to check for erosion. Much money was spent looking at the talus, but ultimately the removal cost was too high and tourism business could resume. In 1995, Robert Overacker dreamed of driving his Jet Ski over the falls. He died trying. Lincoln, Robert, and the de-watering have contributed to the story of the Falling of Niagara.
