WE What's Trending: Stuntman to take on Niagara Falls

Posted: Updated:

(CBS) - Famous stuntman Nik Wallenda will challenge himself once again Friday by walking across the Niagara Falls on a 2 inch-diameter cable, unharnessed.

He is prepaing today to cross the falls without any netting either.  If he slips, his only hope will be to firmly grab the steel cable, or he'll plummet into the swirling rapids below.  Local emergency personnel have been preparing in the event this occurs.  Wallenda said the crossing could take 30 to 40 minutes. 

(CNN) - Apple's "Siri" could be coming to a car near you.  CEO Tim Cook made that announcement this week at Apple's worldwide developers conference in San Francisco.  The new addition to the virtual assistant will come in the form of a button on the steering wheel.

So you could turn the radio or get directions, without taking your eyes off the road.  Apple says its working with several automakers, including Toyota, Honda and General Motors.  The "eyes free" feature is expected to debut within the next year.

(CNN/WFAA) - A city councilman in Dallas is reviving his campaign against saggy pants. Dwaine Caraway first launched his "Pull 'em Up" campaign in 2008.  He reissued his challenge to young men to pull up their pants out of respect to themselves and the people around them.

Caraway says eliminating saggy pants will help improve the city's reputation with tourists.
