Xan and LB Jeffries FTW!

Re: records - Tom Sietas is the current world record holder for static apnea at 9 minutes and 8 seconds. I think this is the record broken by David Merlini.

On his website it says he was in a "Chinese Water Torture Chamber" and is the first to hold his breath that long "in such conditions".

Seems pretty reasonable for a record to me.

Lost me at "escape artist" which means it was a SCAM.

Lose all the theatrics and do the same stunt in a controlled environment and then I might be impressed.
