Wednesday, April 30, 2008 Oprah Show: David Blaine's Record
David Blaine just successfully beat the world record for holding his breath under water live on The Oprah Winfrey Show. David's record time was 17:04.4 minutes, though he said he was uncertain if he would make it at the end. Congratulations for achieving your lifelong dream David!
David shared that the next challenge he whishes to accomplish is staying awake longer than anyone ever has - over 11 days, or 1 million seconds - though David confessed that he is afraid of the mission. While experiencing being inside the block of ice, David expressed that he was awake for 3-4 days and had hallucinations, though the most he has ever been awake was for 5 days.
It was awesome to watch someone push the limits to such an extent - what did you think about David's stunt? Share your comments below.

Can you believe that he held his breath for over 17 min! That’s WILD! Most people can’t even run that long let alone go that long without oxygen! Amazing!
