Woman Holds Police Hostage on Williamsburg Bridge

The Masked Lady Threatens Not to Jump

In a wonderful and playful distraction from the woes of the world, aerial artist Seanna Sharpe climbed some 285 feet into the bridge structure to perform some acrobatic suspended ballet, without a net, or harness, to the delight of chance passers by.

On arrest, the police weren't too happy to discover her happy ability as an escape artist as well.

She and her partner were initially charged with Class A felonies for the performance.

I rather enjoyed watching Seanna perform and it's a welcome distraction from a life that's all too often too serious.

Here she is in a different video. The article video is Vimeo which I don't know how to embed, thus, also this video of a different performance.

Thanks for sharing this.

Yes she is a very gifted artist. The bridge performance is mind blowing. The spectators were loving it. Seems like even the cops let her off lightly in the end.

So funny when they both run away like naughty fairies. The contrast of her elegance so high up among all the steel work is very stunning visually. She is a gifted choreographer, too. A slick performance with no rehearsal on the actual bridge before hand. Serious moves. No option for getting anything wrong. Acrobatic genius.

Must be hard work for friends and family who have emotions invested in her. Bet she keeps them biting their nails with worry. Naughty Fairy.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen.

And yet...

The little men with big badges tells us it's illegal?

Living, expressing our life/joy is now illegal. Who is she hurting?





@%#^ em!

Peace

Cool
