The Smoke that Thunders!!

Victoria Falls is a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty. The falls are on the Zambezi River,a river that runs for almost two miles before dropping off the edge of the 354 drop. The tribes in the 1800’s called the falls ‘Mosi-o-Tunya’ which means “The Smoke that Thunders”. The mist from the falls can be seen almost 14 miles away! Now, Victoria Falls is the longest curtain of water in the world. So do you want to go to Zambia and be the first human ever to go over the falls in a barrel?

    I would not fall off Victoria Falls in a barrel. Victoria falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world. Two Million years ago homo habilis roamed around Victoria Falls. The Zambezi River is 1.25 miles long. Victoria Falls is in Zambia and Zimbabwe. I wish I could visit to Victoria Falls.

    No way, I would never fall off! Due to it's 180 degree fall, it's a death plunge. Due to its mist, you won't find your way out, and you will drown. Due to its really wide width, it's the largest flowing water sheet in the world! Plus, the 355 foot height aspect, and gravity won't be on your side for that plunge. With these aspects, will you jump off?
