Did you see the article “Blaine Fails to Set Underwater Record” ? I was surprised with that.  Any way, acording to Yahoo” Blaine was trying to free himselfe from chains and handcuffs while bidding to break the record of 8 minutes,58 seconds for holding one’s breath underwater. The stunt, following a weeklong endurance challenge underwater,was televised live by ABC ” He almost died. I don’t understand why he did do that kind of thing.
