David Blaine holds breath for 17 minutes, breaks world record

David Blaine broke the Guiness World Record for holding one’s breath. David held his breath underwater for 17 minutes 4 seconds.
The AP reports:
The feat was broadcast live during The Oprah Winfrey Show and the studio audience cheered as divers pulled the 35-year-old magician from a water-filled sphere.
Blaine looked relaxed afterward and said the record was “a lifelong dream.” Before he entered the sphere, Blaine inhaled pure oxygen through a mask to saturate his blood with oxygen and flush out carbon dioxide.
