Drowned Alive
Tuesday, May 02, 2006
Picture courtesy: BBC NewsYou know its sweeps when Diane Sawyer interviews David Blaine from his giant aquarium. Blaine is spending a week in an eight-foot sphere that can only be described as a human goldfish bowl. The bowl is on display outside Lincoln Center in New York. The magician is using oxygen and feeding tubes to keep him alive. On Tuesday, GMA's Diane Sawyer (and former hard newswoman) spent several segments interviewing Blaine while he was still inside the tank. He told her that he trained with the military for the stunt. He's even trained himself to sleep underwater, at the bottom of the tank. One downside: with all the exposure to water, he expects his skin to be as sensitive as paper when he emerges from the tank. In a dramatic finale, Blaine will attempt to hold his breath for nine minutes while trying to escape from chains. Conveniently enough, it will all air in a special on ABC next Monday.
