HOW TO PACK NINE MINUTES INTO JUST TWO HOURS — by Steve Nadis
The magician/illusionist David Blaine will attempt to break the world’s record by holding his breath while under water for at least nine minutes. ABC will broadcast this feat, or attempted feat, a week from Monday in a two-hour special called “Drowned Alive.” I don’t intend to watch this show and don’t, as a matter of practice, watch breath-holding programs, but I am curious about one thing: How can ABC take an event that won’t last much more than nine minutes, if that, and stretch it out into a two-hour program? In my book, that feat is even more impressive than the one Blaine is trying to accomplish.

Now if Blaine could hold his breath for the whole two hours, THAT would be worth watching.
I agree. It might be enough to prompt me to break with my usual policy of not watching breath-holding shows.
