	CNN - Flying Wallendas to build pyramid on Detroit high wire - March 6, 1998
		DETROIT (CNN) -- More than three decades after a spectacular circus stunt ended in tragedy, the famed Flying Wallendas will try the same maneuver again Friday night -- in the very same arena where two members of the troop once plunged to their deaths.
		The family high-wire act will be attempting to build a seven-person pyramid, in which four members on one layer use poles to support two on a second layer who in turn support one on a top layer.
		The Wallendas are scheduled to perform the pyramid 38 times during the 17-day run of the Shrine Circus in Detroit.
