Criss Angel - Cement Block

June 4th, 2007.
Criss Angel is attempting a death-defying demonstration in New York City’s Times Square. He is encased in a 4x4x4 feet glass box with steel bars and cement that is raised 40 feet above the ground. He will try to escape from it in 24 hours. Either if he can escape the block or not, it will drop after 24 hours.

He arrived in Times Square at 6:45 am (local time)and at 7:30 the countdown has officially started. After saying goodbye to his family in case he won't make it, and being shackled by an NYPD officer, Criss goes inside the box and buckets of concrete are being poured.

I'm currently watching it live on A&E's website and so can you:

The items that Criss has with him are: a small camera (from which we are getting the live feed), a blanket, an ipod, and a sharpie.

They encountered a small problem because they got pounded by the remnants of the tropical storm Barry. Some water was dripping into the box through the breathing holes so Criss was given some towels so he can mop up some of the water that got inside. In an interview from the box Criss said that is concerned that this effort is going to take up too much energy and he wants to save as much of his energy as possible for the escape.
After about 8 hours they have stopped puring the cement and Criss is totally sealed in.
After 12 hours from his imprisonment he gets rid of his handcuffs and over the next couple of hours he is using them to poke a hole through the box.

At this point this is all I know about his situation, but I'm ready to make a prediction. My prediction is that sometime in the last hour (depending on how dramatic they want it to be), Criss Angel's camera will run out of power or lose feed in some way and Criss will disapear from the block. The thing is, they do not show the live feed from inside the block that much so he might be doing stuff we're not supposed to see. I'm sure he'll make it out in a spectacular way as usual.

Anyhow, I know it will be something amazing. Don't miss it! Just so you won't get bored with the live feed of a suspended box or just seeing Criss Angel inside the box (though I would like to see that more so we can see what he's doing at all times), they are showing previews of the new season and fragments of his previous ones.
Unfortunatelly I don't think the Cement Block will be shown in this comming season (Season 3 - airs June 5th at 10 pm), but maybe a special will be made and it will be aired sooner than the 4th season.

The 24 hours have now passed and I am pleased to inform you that Criss Angel successfully escaped in the last minute.
(As I predicted -> he shot off his camera before he escaped)
