An Estonian man crossed a tightrope between Asia and Europe stretched above the 15 July Martyrs Bridge in Istanbul. "Every tightrope walk I did had a different story. Here, I became the first person to cross continents on a tightrope," Jaan Roose said. Roose covered 1,074 metre on the rope at a height of 165 metre above the bridge.
