Oh… Dave nearly died!

Blaine escaping the tankWell, turns out David Blaine did almost die last night. Having been in his bubble for nearly around a week, he decided to go for the world record of holding his breath underwater for 9 minutes. He passed out at 7 minutes and had to be rescued! Not only that but his skin is peeling, one of the many side effects of long term submersion in water. Other side effects include nerve damage, blackouts, sleep deprivation and skin problems. What a muppet! You can watch a video clip of his failed attempt on BBC News.
