How I held my breath for 17 minutes | David Blaine | TED

Translator: Raimonds Jaks Reviewer: Ilze Garda

Kā burvju mākslinieks es mēģinu radīt tēlus, kas liek apstāties un padomāt.

As a magician, I try to create images that make people stop and think.

Es cenšos arī izaicināt sevi

ar lietām, ko ārsti uzskata par neiespējamām.

I also try to challenge myself

to do things that doctors say are not possible.

Mani dzīvu apraka zārkā Ņujorkā,

I was buried alive in New York City in a coffin,

apraka dzīvu uz nedēļu 1999. gada aprīlī.

buried alive in a coffin in April, 1999, for a week.

Es tur pārtiku tikai no ūdens.

I lived there with nothing but water.

Un tas izrādījās tik aizraujoši,

And it ended up being so much fun

ka es nolēmu paveikt vairāk tamlīdzīgu lietu.

that I decided I could pursue doing more of these things.

Tad es iesaldēju sevi uz trijām diennaktīm ledus gabalā Ņujorkā.

The next one is I froze myself in a block of ice

for three days and three nights in New York City.

Tas bija daudz grūtāk, nekā es biju iedomājies.

That one was way more difficult than I had expected.

Pēc tam es 36 stundas nostāvēju uz 30 metru augstas kolonnas.

The one after that, I stood on top of a hundred-foot pillar

Halucinācijas bija tik stipras,

for 36 hours.

ka ēkas aiz manis sāka izskatīties pēc lielu dzīvnieku galvām.

I began to hallucinate so hard

that the buildings that were behind me started to look like big animal heads.

Tad es devos uz Londonu.

Londonā es 44 dienas dzīvoju stikla kastē

So, next I went to London.

In London I lived in a glass box for 44 days

un pārtiku tikai no ūdens.

Tas bija viens no grūtākajiem uzdevumiem, ko jebkad esmu darījis,

with nothing but water.

It was, for me, one of the most difficult things I'd ever done,

bet arī viens no skaistākajiem.

but it was also the most beautiful.

BIja tik daudz skeptiķu, sevišķi Londonas presē,

There was so many skeptics, especially the press in London,

ka viņi man apkārt helikopteros lidināja čīzburgerus, lai iekārdinātu.

that they started flying cheeseburgers on helicopters around my box to tempt me.

(Smiekli)

Tāpēc es jutos novērtēts,

(Laughter)

kad Jaunanglijas Medicīnas žurnāls tiešām šo eksperimentu izmantoja zinātnei.

So, I felt very validated

when the New England Journal of Medicine actually used the research for science.

Mans nākamais mērķis bija pamēģināt, cik ilgi es varu izturēt bez elpošanas,

My next pursuit was I wanted to see how long I could go without breathing,

cik ilgi es varu izdzīvot bez nekā, pat bez gaisa.

like how long I could survive with nothing, not even air.

Es nezināju, ka tas izrādīsies visneticamākais manas dzīves ceļojums.

I didn't realize that it would become the most amazing journey of my life.

Kā jauns burvju mākslinieks

es biju kā apsēsts ar Hudīni un viņa zemūdens trikiem.

As a young magician,

I was obsessed with Houdini and his underwater challenges.

Tā es sāku ļoti agri,

sacenzdamies ar citiem bērniem, pārbaudot, cik ilgi varēšu izturēt zem ūdens,

So, I began, early on, competing against the other kids,

Citi nira augšup un lejup pēc elpas kādas piecas reizes,

seeing how long I could stay underwater while they went up and down to breathe,

kamēr es aizturēju vienu elpu.

you know, five times, while I stayed under on one breath.

Pusaudža gados

es varēju izturēt trīs minūtes un 30 sekundes.

By the time I was a teenager,

I was able to hold my breath for three minutes and 30 seconds.

Vēlāk uzzināju, ka tas bija Hudīni personīgais rekords.

I would later find out that was Houdini's personal record.

1987. gadā es dzirdēju kādu stāstu

In 1987 I heard of a story

par zēnu, kas ielūza ledū un bija iesprostots upē zem ledus.

about a boy that fell through ice and was trapped under a river.

Viņš bija zem ūdens, neelpodams 45 minūtes.

He was underneath, not breathing for 45 minutes.

Kad ieradās glābēji un atdzīvināja viņu, smadzenes, izrādījās, nebija bojātas.

When the rescue workers came,

they resuscitated him and there was no brain damage.

Viņa ķermeņa temperatūra bija nokritusies līdz 25 grādiem.

His core temperature had dropped to 77 degrees.

Kā burvju mākslinieks es domāju, ka iespējams ir viss.

Un, manuprāt, ja kāds kaut ko spēj,

As a magician, I think everything is possible.

tad citi to var atkārtot.

And I think if something is done by one person,

Es sāku domāt –

it can be done by others.

ja zēns spēja izdzīvot bez elpošanas tik ilgi,

I started to think,

if the boy could survive without breathing for that long,

ir jābūt veidam, kā to varētu es.

Es satikos ar izcilu neiroķirurgu

there must be a way that I could do it.

So, I met with a top neurosurgeon.

un jautāju viņam, cik ilgi iespējams iztikt bez elpošanas,

And I asked him, how long is it possible to go without breathing,

cik ilgi es varu iztikt bez gaisa.

Viņš teica, ka pēc sešām minūtēm

like how long could I go without air?

And he said to me that anything over six minutes

ir liels risks iegūt hipoksiskus smadzeņu bojājumus.

you have a serious risk of hypoxic brain damage.

Es nospriedu, ka tas ir izaicinājums.

(Smiekli)

So, I took that as a challenge, basically.

Pirmajā mēģinājumā es domāju, ka darīšu kaut ko līdzīgu.

(Laughter)

My first try, I figured that I could do something similar,

Es izveidoju ūdens tvertni

un piepildīju to ar ledu un stindzinoši aukstu ūdeni.

and I created a water tank,

and I filled it with ice and freezing cold water.

Es iekāpu ūdens tvertnē

un cerēju, ka mana ķermeņa temperatūra nokritīsies.

And I stayed inside of that water tank

hoping my core temperature would start to drop.

Un es drebēju.

Pirmajā mēģinājumā aizturēt elpu es nevarēju izturēt pat minūti.

And I was shivering.

In my first attempt to hold my breath, I couldn't even last a minute.

Es sapratu, ka tas noteikti nestrādās.

So, I realized that was completely not going to work.

Es aizgāju pie kāda ārsta, sava drauga,

I went to talk to a doctor friend --

un jautāju viņam: "Kā lai to izdara?

and I asked him, "How could I do that?"

Es gribu aizturēt elpu uz ļoti ilgu laiku. Kā lai to paveic?"

"I want to hold my breath for a really long time. How could it be done?"

Un viņš teica: "Deivid, tu esi burvju mākslinieks,

radi ilūziju, ka tu neelpo, tas būs daudz vieglāk."

And he said, "David, you're a magician,

create the illusion of not breathing, it will be much easier."

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

Viņš ieteica izveidot elpošanas aparātu

So, he came up with this idea of creating a rebreather,

ar CO2 savācēju,

kas būtībā bija caurule no saimniecības preču veikala,

with a CO2 scrubber,

which was basically a tube from Home Depot,

ar klāt pielīmētu balonu,

ko, viņaprāt, varētu ievadīt manī,

with a balloon duct-taped to it,

that he thought we could put inside of me,

un tad, kaut kā cirkulējot gaisu,

and somehow be able to circulate the air and rebreathe

elpināt mani ar šo aparātu manī iekšā.

To ir nedaudz nepatīkami skatīties,

with this thing in me.

This is a little hard to watch.

bet šis ir tas mēģinājums.

But this is that attempt.

Bija skaidrs, ka tas nestrādās.

(Smiekli)

So, that clearly wasn't going to work.

(Laughter)

Tad es sāku domāt par šķidro elpošanu.

Then I actually started thinking about liquid breathing.

Ir tāda ķīmiska viela kā perflubrons,

un tas ir tik bagāts ar skābekli, ka teorētiski to varētu elpot.

There is a chemical that's called perflubron.

And it's so high in oxygen levels that in theory you could breathe it.

Es dabūju to ķīmisko vielu,

piepildīju ar to izlietni, iebāzu tajā seju

So, I got my hands on that chemical,

filled the sink up with it, and stuck my face in the sink

un mēģināju to ieelpot, kas tiešām bija neiespējami.

and tried to breathe that in, which was really impossible.

Kā ārsts teica, tas ir kā mēģināt elpot ar ziloni stāvam uz krūtīm.

It's basically like trying to breathe, as a doctor said,

Tā kā tā ideja arī atkrita.

while having an elephant standing on your chest.

Tad es iedomājos,

So, that idea disappeared.

vai būtu iespējams pievienot iekārtu, kas aizvieto sirdi un plaušas,

Then I started thinking,

would it be possible to hook up a heart/lung bypass machine

un ķirurģiski ievietot caurulīti manā artērijā,

and have a surgery where it was a tube going into my artery,

un tad izlikties, ka neelpoju, kamēr iekārta asinis apgādātu ar skābekli.

and then appear to not breathe while they were oxygenating my blood?

Tā, protams, bija vēl viena vājprātīga doma.

Which was another insane idea, obviously.

Tad man ienāca prātā pati trakākā no visām idejām:

Then I thought about the craziest idea of all the ideas:

tiešām to izdarīt.

(Smiekli)

to actually do it.

Tiešām aizturēt elpu ilgāk,

(Laughter)

To actually try to hold my breath past the point

nekā ārsti uzskata, ka smadzenes spēj izdzīvot.

that doctors would consider you brain dead.

Tā nu es sāku pētīt pērļu zvejniekus,

So, I started researching into pearl divers.

jo viņi ar vienu elpu ienirst uz 4 minūtēm,

un, pētot pērļu zvejniekus, es atklāju frīdaivinga pasauli.

You know, because they go down for four minutes on one breath.

And when I was researching pearl divers, I found the world of free-diving.

Tā ir viena no satriecošākajām lietām, ko es dzīvē esmu atklājis.

It was the most amazing thing that I ever discovered, pretty much.

Frīdaivingam ir dažādi virzieni.

There is many different aspects to free-diving.

Ir dziļuma rekordi, kur cilvēki nirst, cik dziļi vien var,

There is depth records, where people go as deep as they can.

un ir statiskā apnoja.

Tā ir elpas aizturēšana, cik ilgi vien var, pilnīgi nekustoties.

And then there is static apnea.

That's holding your breath as long as you can

Tas bija tas, ko es pētīju.

in one place without moving.

Pirmais, ko iemācījos,

That was the one that I studied.

ir, ka, aizturot elpu, nedrīkst kustēties nemaz,

The first thing that I learned is when you're holding your breath,

jo tas tērē enerģiju un skābekli un uzkrāj asinīs CO2.

you should never move at all; that wastes energy.

And that depletes oxygen,

Tā es iemācījos nekustēties

and it builds up CO2 in your blood.

un iemācījos, kā palēnināt sirdsdarbību.

So, I learned never to move.

Bija jāpaliek pilnīgi nekustīgam un jāatbrīvojas, un jādomā,

And I learned how to slow my heart rate down.

ka neesmu savā ķermenī, un jākontrolē tas.

I had to remain perfectly still and just relax

and think that I wasn't in my body, and just control that.

Es iemācījos arī attīrīties.

Tā būtībā ir hiperventilēšana, elpojot iekšā un ārā...

And then I learned how to purge.

Purging is basically hyperventilating.

(Skaļi elpo)

You blow in and out --

(Breathing loudly)

To darot, noreibst galva, tu jūti tirpoņu un atbrīvojies no CO2.

You do that, you get lightheaded, you get tingling.

Tāpēc, kad aizturi elpu, ir daudz, daudz vieglāk.

And you're really ridding your body of CO2.

So, when you hold your breath, it's infinitely easier.

Tad es iemācījos, ka dziļi jāievelk elpa

Then I learned that you have to take a huge breath,

un vienkārši jātur, un jāatslābst, neizlaižot gaisu,

and just hold and relax and never let any air out,

tikai jātur un jāatslābst caur visām sāpēm.

and just hold and relax through all the pain.

Tā katru rītu, mēnešiem ilgi, uzreiz pēc pamošanās,

Every morning, this is for months,

I would wake up and the first thing that I would do

es trenējos aizturēt elpu.

No 52 minūtēm es aizturēju elpu 44 minūtes.

is I would hold my breath

for, out of 52 minutes, I would hold my breath for 44 minutes.

Principā tas nozīmēja, ka es attīrījos,

vienu minūti dziļi elpojot,

So, basically what that means is I would purge,

un uzreiz pēc tam aizturēju elpu uz piecām ar pusi minūtēm.

I'd breathe really hard for a minute.

And I would hold, immediately after, for five and a half minutes.

Tad es elpoju atkal vienu minūti, cik vien var, attīrīdamies,

Then I would breathe again for a minute, purging as hard as I can,

uzreiz pēc tam es atkal aizturēju elpu uz piecarpus minūtēm.

then immediately after that I would hold again for five and a half minutes.

Es atkārtoju šo procesu astoņas reizes pēc kārtas.

I would repeat this process eight times in a row.

No 52 minūtēm es elpoju astoņas.

Out of 52 minutes, you're only breathing for eight minutes.

Beigās tu, tavas smadzenes ir pilnīgi izsmeltas,

tu staigā apkārt pilnīgi apstulbis, un stipri sāp galva.

At the end of that you're completely fried, your brain.

You feel like you're walking around in a daze.

Principā, kad to darīju, ar mani labāk bija nerunāt.

And you have these awful headaches.

Basically, I'm not the best person to talk to when I'm doing that stuff.

Es uzzināju par pasaules rekordistu.

Viņa vārds ir Toms Zītass.

I started learning about the world-record holder.

Šī puiša augums ir kā radīts elpas aizturēšanai.

His name is Tom Sietas.

And this guy is perfectly built for holding his breath.

Viņš ir 193 centimetrus garš. Viņš sver 73 kilogramus.

He's six foot four. He's 160 pounds.

Viņa kopējā plaušu kapacitāte ir divreiz lielāka nekā vidējam cilvēkam.

And his total lung capacity is twice the size of an average person.

Es esmu 185 centimetrus garš un resns.

I'm six foot one, and fat.

Teiksim tā, ar smagiem kauliem.

(Smiekli)

We'll say big-boned.

Man bija jāzaudē 23 kilogrami trijos mēnešos.

(Laughter)

I had to drop 50 pounds in three months.

Tāpēc visu, ko liku sevī, es uzskatīju par zālēm.

So, everything that I put into my body, I considered as medicine.

Katrs ēdiena gabals bija tieši tik, cik bija tā uzturvērtība.

Every bit of food was exactly what it was for its nutritional value.

Es cauru dienu ēdu ļoti mazas, kontrolētas porcijas

I ate really small controlled portions throughout the day.

un sāku patiešām pielāgot savu ķermeni.

And I started to really adapt my body.

[Individuālie rezultāti var atšķirties]

(Smiekli)

[Individual results may vary]

(Laughter)

Jo tievāks es biju, jo ilgāk spēju aizturēt elpu.

The thinner I was, the longer I was able to hold my breath.

Tik labi ēdot un tik kārtīgi trenējoties,

And by eating so well and training so hard,

mana sirdsdarbība miera stāvoklī nokritās līdz 38 sitieniem minūtē.

my resting heart-rate dropped to 38 beats per minute.

Tas ir mazāk nekā vairumam olimpisko sportistu.

Which is lower than most Olympic athletes.

Pēc četru mēnešu trenēšanās

es spēju aizturēt elpu vairāk nekā septiņas minūtes.

In four months of training,

I was able to hold my breath for over seven minutes.

Es gribēju mēģināt aizturēt elpu visur.

Es to gribēju pamēģināt visekstrēmākajās situācijās,

I wanted to try holding my breath everywhere.

lai redzētu, vai varu palēnināt sirdsdarbību nelabvēlīgos apstākļos.

I wanted to try it in the most extreme situations

to see if I could slow my heart rate down under duress.

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

Es nolēmu pārspēt pasaules rekordu

TV tiešraidē visskatītākajā laikā.

I decided that I was going to break the world record

Pasaules rekords bija 8 minūtes un 58 sekundes,

live on prime-time television.

The world record was eight minutes and 58 seconds,

ko uzstādījis Toms Zītass,

tas manis pieminētais puisis ar vaļa plaušām.

held by Tom Sietas, that guy with the whale lungs I told you about.

Es nospriedu, ka varētu novietot ūdens tvertni Linkolna centrā,

I assumed that I could put a water tank at Lincoln Center

un, ja es tur nosēdētu nedēļu bez ēšanas,

and if I stayed there a week not eating,

es iejustos tajā vietā un palēninātu vielmaiņu,

I would get comfortable in that situation and I would slow my metabolism,

kas, pēc manām domām, palīdzētu aizturēt elpu ilgāk,

nekā es to varēju pirms tam.

which I was sure would help me hold my breath

Tie bija pilnīgi maldi.

longer than I had been able to do it.

Es iekāpu lodē nedēļu pirms plānotā tiešraides laika,

I was completely wrong.

I entered the sphere a week before the scheduled air date.

un man šķita, ka viss rit pēc plāna.

And I thought everything seemed to be on track.

Divas dienas pirms mana lielā elpas aizturēšanas mēģinājuma

Two days before my big breath-hold attempt, for the record,

televīzijas producenti nosprieda,

ka skatīties, kā kāds aiztur elpu un gandrīz noslīkst,

the producers of my television special

thought that just watching somebody holding their breath, and almost drowning,

televīzijai ir pārāk garlaicīgi.

(Smiekli)

is too boring for television.

Tā nu man vajadzēja pievienot rokudzelžus,

(Laughter)

no kuriem atbrīvoties, kamēr aizturēju elpu.

So, I had to add handcuffs, while holding my breath, to escape from.

Tā bija dramatiska kļūda.

This was a critical mistake.

Kustību dēļ es zaudēju skābekli.

Because of the movement, I was wasting oxygen.

Ap septīto minūti man sākās briesmīgas konvulsijas.

And by seven minutes I had gone into these awful convulsions.

Pie 7.08 es sāku zaudēt samaņu.

By 7:08, I started to black out.

Un pie septiņām ar pusi minūtēm

viņiem nācās mani izvilkt un atdzīvināt.

And by seven minutes and 30 seconds,

they had to pull my body out and bring me back.

Es biju cietis pilnīgu neveiksmi.

(Smiekli)

I had failed on every level.

Tāpēc, protams, vienīgā izeja, ko es varēju iedomāties,

(Laughter)

So, naturally, the only way out of the slump that I could think of was,

bija piezvanīt Oprai.

(Smiekli)

I decided to call Oprah.

(Laughter)

Es viņai teicu, ka gribu paaugstināt likmi

un aizturēt elpu ilgāk, nekā jebkad kāds cilvēks to darījis.

I told her that I wanted to up the ante

and hold my breath longer than any human being ever had.

Tas bija cits rekords.

Tas bija tīrs skābekļa statiskās apnojas rekords,

This was a different record.

kur Ginesa pasaules rekords bija 13 minūtes.

This was a pure O2 static apnea record

that Guinness had set the world record at 13 minutes.

Tātad vispirms elpo tīru skābekli,

So, basically you breathe pure O2 first, oxygenating your body, flushing out CO2,

apgādājot ķermeni ar skābekli un atbrīvojoties no CO2,

un tā var izturēt daudz ilgāk.

and you are able to hold much longer.

Es sapratu, ka mans īstais konkurents ir bebrs.

I realized that my real competition was the beaver.

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

(Smiekli beidzas)

2008. gada janvārī

(Laughter ends)

Opra man deva četrus mēnešus laika priekš sagatavošanās un treniņiem.

In January of '08,

Oprah gave me four months to prepare and train.

Es katru nakti gulēju hipoksiskajā teltī.

So, I would sleep in a hypoxic tent every night.

Tā ir tāda telts, kas simulē 4500 metru augstumu.

A hypoxic tent is a tent that simulates altitude at 15,000 feet.

Tas ir kā Everesta bāzes nometnē.

Tas veicina sarkano asinsķermenīšu veidošanos,

So, it's like base camp, Everest.

What that does is, you start building up the red bloodcell count in your body,

kas palīdz organismam labāk vadīt skābekli.

which helps you carry oxygen better.

Katru rītu, pēc iznākšanas no telts,

Every morning, again, after getting out of that tent,

smadzenes ir kā iztukšotas.

Pirmajā tīra skābekļa mēģinājumā es varēju izturēt 15 minūtes.

your brain is completely wiped out.

My first attempt on pure O2, I was able to go up to 15 minutes.

Tā bija visai liela veiksme.

So, it was a pretty big success.

Neiroķirurgs izvilka mani no ūdens,

jo, pēc viņa domām, pēc 15 minūtēm smadzenes ir jau mirušas.

The neurosurgeon pulled me out of the water

because in his mind, at 15 minutes your brain is done, you're brain dead.

Mani izvilka, bet man nekas nekaitēja.

So, he pulled me up, and I was fine.

Bija viens cilvēks, kas noteikti nebija ar to apmierināts.

There was one person there that was definitely not impressed.

Mana bijusī draudzene.

Kamēr es pirmo reizi pārspēju zemūdens rekordu,

It was my ex-girlfriend.

While I was breaking the record underwater for the first time,

viņa caurlūkoja ziņas manā Blackberry.

(Smiekli)

she was sifting through my Blackberry, checking all my messages.

Mans brālis to nofotogrāfēja. Tas tiešām ir...

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

My brother had a picture of it. It is really --

(Laughter)

(Smiekli beidzas)

Tad es paziņoju, ka es publiski pārsitīšu Zītasa rekordu.

(Laughter ends)

I then announced that I was going to go for Sietas' record, publicly.

Viņš uz to atbildēja,

Ridžisa un Kellijas šovā pārspēdams savu veco rekordu.

And what he did in response, is he went on Regis and Kelly,

Tad viņa galvenais sāncensis pārspēja viņa rekordu.

and broke his old record.

Then his main competitor went out and broke his record.

Tā viņš pēkšņi paildzināja rekordu līdz 16 minūtēm un 32 sekundēm.

So, he suddenly pushed the record up to 16 minutes and 32 seconds.

Tas bija par trim minūtēm ilgāk, nekā es biju gatavojies.

Tas bija ilgāk nekā rekords.

Which was three minutes longer than I had prepared.

It was longer than the record.

Es vēlējos, lai Science Times to dokumentē.

I wanted to get the Science Times to document this.

Es gribēju, lai viņi par to uzraksta.

Tāpēc es, kā jau jebkurš,

I wanted to get them to do a piece on it.

So, I did what any person

kas nopietni vēlas veicināt zinātnes progresu,

seriously pursuing scientific advancement would do.

aizgāju uz New York Times biroju un visiem rādīju kāršu trikus.

I walked into the New York Times offices and did card tricks to everybody.

(Smiekli)

(Laughter)

Nezinu, vai tie bija triki vai Kaimanu salu vilinājums,

So, I don't know if it was the magic or the lure of the Cayman Islands,

bet Džons Tīrnijs atlidoja un uzrakstīja par elpas aizturēšanas nozīmīgumu.

but John Tierney flew down

Kamēr viņš tur bija, es, protams, mēģināju izrādīties.

and did a piece on the seriousness of breath-holding.

Es ieniru 50 metru dziļumā,

While he was there, I tried to impress him, of course.

And I did a dive down to 160 feet,

kas ir aptuveni 16 stāvu ēkas augstums,

which is basically the height of a 16 story building,

Nirstot augšā, es zem ūdens zaudēju samaņu,

kas ir ļoti bīstami, tā var noslīkt.

and as I was coming up, I blacked out underwater,

Par laimi, Kērks mani redzēja un uzvilka augšā.

which is really dangerous; that's how you drown.

Luckily, Kirk had seen me and he swam over and pulled me up.

Tad es sāku pilnībā koncentrēties,

uz tādu elpas aizturēšanas ilgumu,

So, I started full focus.

I completely trained to get my breath-hold time up

kāds man bija vajadzīgs.

Bet nebija iespējams sagatavoties tiešraides aspektam Opras šovā.

for what I needed to do.

But there was no way to prepare for the live television aspect of it,

being on Oprah.

Treniņos es to darīju ar seju uz leju, nekustīgi peldēdams baseinā.

But in practice, I would do it face down, floating on the pool.

Bet televīzijā viņi gribēja, lai es būtu stāvus un mana seja būtu redzama.

But for TV they wanted me to be upright so they could see my face, basically.

Vēl viena problēma bija tā,

ka zemūdens tērps mani tik ļoti cēla augšup,

The other problem was the suit was so buoyant

ka bija jāpiesprādzē manas kājas, lai es neuzpeldētu augšup.

that they had to strap my feet in to keep me from floating up.

Man bija jāizmanto kājas, lai noturētu pēdas vaļīgajās sprādzēs,

So, I had to use my legs to hold my feet into the straps that were loose,

un tā man bija liela problēma.

Tas mani darīja ļoti nervozu un paātrināja sirdsdarbību.

which was a real problem for me.

That made me extremely nervous, raising the heart rate.

Vēl viņi izdarīja ko tādu, ko mēs nekad agrāk nebijām darījuši:

Then, what they also did was,

pievienoja sirdsdarbības monitoru.

which we never did before, is there was a heart-rate monitor.

Un tas bija tieši blakus man,

tāpēc katru savu sirdspukstu es dzirdēju kā pī pī pī pī, ļoti skaļi.

And it was right next to the sphere.

So, every time my heart would beat, I'd hear the beep-beep-beep-beep,

Tas mani darīja vēl nervozāku,

you know, the ticking, really loud.

un es nevarēju palēnināt sirdsdarbību.

Which was making me more nervous.

And there was no way to slow my heart rate down.

Parasti es sāku ar 38 sitieniem minūtē,

Normally, I would start at 38 beats per minute,

un, aizturot elpu, tas nokrītas līdz 12 sitieniem minūtē,

and while holding my breath, it would drop to 12 beats per minute,

kas ir visai neparasti.

(Smiekli)

which is pretty unusual.

(Laughter)

Šoreiz es sāku ar 120 sitieniem, un tas nenokritās.

This time it started at 120 beats, and it never went down.

Pirmās piecas minūtes zem ūdens

es pavadīju, izmisīgi cenšoties palēnināt sirdsdarbību.

I spent the first five minutes underwater

Es tur sēdēju un domāju:

desperately trying to slow my heart rate down.

"Man tas jāpalēnina, citādi nekas neizdosies."

I was just sitting there thinking,

"I've got to slow this down. I'm going to fail."

Un es kļuvu vēl nervozāks.

Sirdsdarbība aizvien paātrinājās

And I was getting more nervous.

līdz pat 150 sitieniem minūtē.

And the heart rate just kept going up and up,

all the way up to 150 beats.

Būtībā tas pats noveda pie neveiksmes Linkolna centrā –

Basically it's the same thing that created my downfall at Lincoln Center.

tā bija skābekļa izniekošana.

Pusceļā, pie astoņu minūšu atzīmes,

It was a waste of O2.

es biju 100% pārliecināts,

When I made it to the halfway mark, at eight minutes,

ka man neizdosies.

I was 100 percent certain

Nebija nekādu iespēju to paveikt.

that I was not going to be able to make this.

Es prātoju, ka Opra bija veltījusi veselu stundu šai elpas aizturēšanai,

There was no way for me to do it.

I figured, Oprah had dedicated an hour

un, ja es salūztu ātrāk,

tas būtu vesels šovs par to, cik es esmu nelaimīgs.

to doing this breath-hold thing, if I had cracked early,

(Smiekli)

it would be a whole show about how depressed I am.

Tāpēc es nolēmu, ka labāk cīnīšos un palikšu, kur esmu, līdz zaudēšu samaņu,

(Laughter)

So, I figured I'm better off just fighting and staying there until I black out,

tad viņi vismaz varēs mani izvilkt, atdzīvināt un tamlīdzīgi.

(Smiekli)

at least then they can pull me out and take care of me and all that.

(Laughter)

Es turējos līdz 10 minūtēm.

Pie 10. minūtes sākās stipra tirpoņa

I kept pushing to 10 minutes.

At 10 minutes you start getting all these really strong tingling sensations

roku un kāju pirkstos.

Es zināju, ka tā ir asins atplūšana,

in your fingers and toes.

kad asinis aizplūst no ekstremitātēm,

And I knew that that was blood shunting,

lai apgādātu ar skābekli dzīvībai svarīgos orgānus.

when the blood rushes away from your extremities

to provide oxygen to your vital organs.

Ap 11. minūti es sāku just pulsēšanu kājās,

At 11 minutes I started feeling throbbing sensations in my legs,

un lūpās bija jocīga sajūta.

and my lips started to feel really strange.

Ap 12. minūti es sajutu ausīs džinkstoņu,

At minute 12 I started to have ringing in my ears,

un man sāka tirpt roka.

Es esmu hipohondriķis un zinu, ka rokas tirpšana nozīmē sirdtrieku.

and I started to feel my arm going numb.

And I'm a hypochondriac, and I remember arm numb means heart attack.

Tāpēc mani pārņēma stipras bailes.

So, I started to really get really paranoid.

Ap 13. minūti, varbūt hipohondrijas dēļ,

es sāku just sāpes visā krūšu kurvī.

Then at 13 minutes, maybe because of the hypochondria,

I started feeling pains all over my chest.

Tas bija briesmīgi.

(Smiekli)

Ap 14. minūti man sākās briesmīgas kontrakcijas,

It was awful.

(Laughter)

At 14 minutes, I had these awful contractions,

tāda kā tieksme pēc elpas.

(Smiekli)

like this urge to breathe.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli beidzas)

Ap 15. minūti sirds sāka ciest no akūta skābekļa trūkuma,

(Laughter ends)

At 15 minutes I was suffering major O2 deprivation to the heart.

un man sākās sirds išēmija.

Sirdsdarbība lēkāja no 120 līdz 50,

And I started having ischemia to the heart.

uz 150, uz 40, uz 20 un tad atkal uz 150.

My heartbeat would go from 120 to 50,

to 150, to 40, to 20, to 150 again.

Dažreiz tā izlaida sitienu, atkal iepukstējās, reizēm apstājās,

It would skip a beat.

un es to visu jutu.

Biju drošs, ka man būs sirdstrieka,

It would start. It would stop. And I felt all this.

And I was sure that I was going to have a heart attack.

tāpēc ap 16. minūti es izlaidu kājas no sprādzēm,

So, at 16 minutes what I did is I slid my feet out

jo zināju, ja zaudēšu samaņu un man būs sirdstrieka,

because I knew that if I did go out, if I did have a heart attack,

viņiem būs jālec iekšā un jāizvelk manas kājas, lai dabūtu mani ārā.

they'd have to jump into the binding and take my feet out

Es biju ļoti satraukts.

Es izlaidu kājas un lēnām cēlos augšup.

before pulling me up.

I was really nervous.

Un es neizbāzu galvu.

I let my feet out, and I started floating to the top.

Es tikai peldēju un gaidīju, kad mana sirds apstāsies,

And I didn't take my head out.

tikai gaidīju.

But I was just floating there waiting for my heart to stop,

Tur sēdēja un gaidīja ārsti, gatavi rīkoties.

just waiting.

They had doctors with the "Pst," you know, sitting there waiting.

Un tad es pēkšņi dzirdēju kliedzienus.

Es domāju, ka noticis kaut kas dīvains,

And then suddenly I hear screaming.

ka esmu nomiris vai kaut kas tamlīdzīgs.

And I think that there is some weird thing --

that I had died or something had happened.

Tad es sapratu, ka esmu nonācis līdz 16:32.

And then I realized that I had made it to 16:32.

Ar visu klātesošo enerģijas palīdzību

So, with the energy of everybody that was there,

es nolēmu turpināt.

Un es izturēju līdz 17 minūtēm un 4 sekundēm.

I decided to keep pushing.

(Aplausi)

And I went to 17 minutes and four seconds.

(Applause)

(Aplausi beidzas)

It kā ar to vēl nepietiktu, tūlīt pēc tam es nodevu analīzes,

(Applause ends)

As though that wasn't enough, what I did immediately after

un liku viņiem paņemt visus iespējamos asins paraugus,

is I went to Quest Labs

lai visu pārbaudītu un iegūtu pilnu asins ainu,

and had them take every blood sample that they could

lai ārsti to varētu izmantot atkal.

to test for everything and to see where my levels were,

Es arī negribēju, lai kāds to apšaubītu.

so the doctors could use it, once again.

Es biju uzstādījis pasaules rekordu un gribēju būt drošs, ka to apstiprina.

I also didn't want anybody to question it.

I had the world record and I wanted to make sure it was legitimate.

Nākamajā dienā es devos uz Ņujorku,

So, I get to New York City the next day,

un, izejot no Apple veikala,

I'm walking out of the Apple store,

pie manis pienāk kāds puika un saka: "Klau, Dī!"

Es atbildu: "Nu?"

and this kid walks up to me he's like, "Yo, D!"

Viņš saka: "Ja tu tiešām tik ilgi aizturēji elpu,

I'm like "Yeah?"

kāpēc tu no ūdens iznāci sauss?"

He said, "If you really held your breath that long,

Es teicu: "Ko?"

why'd you come out of the water dry?"

(Smiekli)

I was like "What?"

Tāda ir mana dzīve.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

And that's my life. So --

(Laughter)

Kā burvju mākslinieks, es cilvēkiem mēģinu parādīt to,

kas liekas neiespējami.

As a magician, I try to show things to people

Un, manuprāt, burvju māksla

that seem impossible.

– vienalga vai aizturu elpu, vai jaucu kārtis –,

And I think magic,

whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards,

ir diezgan vienkārša.

Tā ir vingrināšanās un treniņš, un tas ir...

is pretty simple.

(Šņuksti)

It's practice, it's training, and it's -- (Sobs)

Tā ir vingrināšanās un treniņš un eksperimentēšana,

It's practice, it's training and experimenting,

(Šņuksti)

un izturēšana caur sāpēm, lai kļūtu tik labs, cik vien spēju.

(Sobs)

while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.

Un tā ir mana burvju māksla.

And that's what magic is to me, so, thank you.

Paldies.

(Aplausi)

(Applause)
