Estonian daredevil Jaan Roose successfully completed the world’s longest single-building slackline, walking 150 metres across, 185m above the ground in Doha.
Recently released videos showed Roose, undeterred by windy conditions, crossing a slackline between the Raffles and Fairmont hotels in Qatar’s capital.
