Fan of Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio, David Blaine, last year buried himself underwater in a plexiglass coffin for a week and survived. Now he encased himself in a six-tonne block of ice and hoped to come out unscathed 58 hours later i.e. two and a half-day. This was the toughest challenge for Blaine. He would have to remain standing in the block in which his contour was shaped surviving only with a tube to suck water and oxygen. He faced several threats, which include frostbite and the possibility of falling asleep and touching the ice wall. Passerby in New York called him crazy to risk his life. |
