Breathless Blaine fails underwater test
Stunt artist David Blaine was pulled from an aquarium in New York by divers nearly two minutes short of his goal of setting a world record for holding his breath underwater.
Blaine was trying to free himself from chains and handcuffs while bidding to break the record of eight minutes, 58 seconds for holding one’s breath underwater. The stunt, following a week-long endurance challenge underwater, was televised live by ABC.
