Blaine

Blaine in a Box.

On September 5, 2003, David Blaine began his 44-day endurance stunt sealed inside a transparent Plexiglas case suspended 30 feet (9 m) in the air on the south bank of the River Thames near to Tower Bridge in London. The case, measuring 3 feet (0.9 m) by 7 feet (2.1 m) by 7 feet (2.1 m), had a webcam installed so that viewers could observe his progress. During the 44-day period, Blaine went without any food or nutrients and survived on just 4.5 liters of water per day.

Designed by Norman Foster, it was completed in December 2003 and opened at the end of May 2004.

9 Most people (tourists) were supportive of this idiot. The Brits had the right idea and pulled a number of great stunts to annoy him and show how ridiculous it all was. One of the best was a radio controlled helicopter with a McDonalds hamburger to try to tempt him. Brilliant!
