Earlier today we received a cryptic email alerting us to something called "Risk Life for Flight" happening during rush hour on the Williamsburg Bridge. The alert was mysterious, saying: "For anyone inspired by Philippe Petite there will be a stupid, illegal, and probably beautiful aerial stunt happening on the Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge tonight." We've got a staffer over there now documenting the crazy scene, and will have a full post tomorrow—but for now, did you witness an acrobat hanging over the bridge on your way home? Send in your accounts and photos. According to people on the scene, acrobats have been swinging on ribbons sans safety nets or harnesses, and cops are currently flooding the bridge.
