This is interesting:

"Mark Harris of the British Free Diving Association spoke out, saying that Blaine will have an unfair advantage. "[Since] he will be breathing compressed air under water... he will have a much higher concentration of oxygen molecules... in competitive freediving, we are positively banned from breathing pure oxygen before the event."[3]

Even if Blaine succeeds in holding his breath for more than eight minutes and fifty-eight seconds, it is unlikely that the feat will be officially recognised as a new world record. This is due to the fact that judges from the International Association for the Development of Apnea (IADA) would have to be present to verify that Blaine breathed no pure oxygen for at least two hours prior to beginning his attempt at the world record. The world record for holding one's breath after having breathed pure oxygen is actually closer to fifteen minutes.[4]"

so... in conclusion... what a douchebag.

So in other words, David is wasting his time even doing this stunt.

am I the only one who can't see any responses after shyslantedeye's? this shit has been going on for days now... I thought everyone was experiencing the same weird org glitch.

Perhaps they can take him to a secure room when he's done. And crank up the air conditioning.

Not I, I can see everyone's posts just fine.

u2prnce said:

Damn, can't believe this show has been on for like a hour and a half now! Sheesh, I thought it was only going to be an hour long.

Why say "drowned alive"?

Certainly, you can't be "drowned dead" ....you'd have to already be dead.

I see you have a rational mind. What are you doing here?

Yikes! He's underwater now, let's see if he can break the record.

Aww, damn, he didn't make it to 9 minutes, he last 7 minutes and 8 seconds, Watching him underwater like that for so long, made me feel like I was having trouble breathing. They have him out of the water, and have an air mask on his face. He looks kinda dazed which is understandable for being stuck in a tankful of water for a whole week (177 hours, they just said on TV).

psychodelicide said:

Moonwalkbjrain said:

like Marina Abramović

SammiJ said:

I can't belive he failed. i'm emotional today and I cried.

Moonwalkbjrain said:

i couldnt help it
the pictures meant nothing but that he's a lil wrinkly right now
a nice body massage after the whole ordeal and he'll be back to his old freakishly sexy but creepy self!

SammiJ said:

I'll agree with all you said exceptI don't thnk he's creepy, just intense.

Moonwalkbjrain said:

On Tv they said that it was gatorade in the bag,not pee.

Sweeny79 said:

very true
and theres nothing more intense than that glare that he has...

SammiJ said:

JasmineFire said:

hell, the man is gettin' paid. I'd be more than happy to drop out of school to get the money he's gettin' for sittin' in a box

Sweeny79 said:

Me too! I think that it was truly an emotional event, though.

I like David Blaine's intensity, inovation, and insanity - I hope he's OK.

There was 10 minutes left after they pulled him out. I seriously thought he would try again.

I was so hurt when they pulled him out. Im sure he feels bad. I hope his health is ok.
On another note...
Goodness gracious he is so freakin hot! When they showed him working out,I couldnt stop smiling.

I dont think I would be able to look into his eyes,If I did,I'd probably strip naked and do him on the spot

Oh Lordy this man is sooooo purdy! We'd have some mighty purdy babies too ! As I said from a thread before http://www.prince.org/msg/7/167215 that I think David kinda reminds me of Prince, kinda sorta a little bit! Honestly though, David is way hotter than Prince, and just the right weight/height, plus he's a natural hottie, he don't gotta wear all that make-up like Prince does ;P! All the haters are just jealous of his looks, determination, creativeness, positivity, and did I mention HOTNESS?! I'm always up for watching anything that's got him half naked in it! I can't wait for his next stunt.

One question for you all. This man is been in this fishtank for several days. Where's the bathroom? Do you think that water is filtered?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

TRUE!! There´s something mysterious in his eyes! He´s beautiful.

Poor thing, I hope he´s OK.

Did you all see this on Carson Daly show whre he "rips" his heart out:
