A Triumph After Last Year's Failure

In front of a studio audience and live TV, and after inhaling pure oxygen for 30 minutes, David Blaine broke the world record for holding one's breath. He remained underwater in a glass sphere for 17 minutes and 4 seconds. The former record was 16 minutes and 32 seconds.

"I feel great," Blaine says in a Reuters story after being pulled out of his tank. "I actually started to doubt I was going to make it because I'd never done it with such a high heart rate."
