Topic: David Blaine
After a week-long test of endurance submerged in a giant round aquarium, New York stunt artist David Blaine was unable to set a new record for holding his breath underwater during his Monday night finale.
After seven minutes and eight seconds, Blaine began to convulse and had to be rescued, falling just under two minutes short of the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds.
But after 177 hours underwater, Blaine did set the record for the longest person submerged under water consistently.
