The attacker and his accomplices arrived in a white van in a nearby street and while two of them distracted guards, the third used a ladder to scale a fence and make his way towards the water tower.

I’m going to go out on a limb and speculate that beer was involved.

As yet there is no explanation for how the man, who is thought to have been in his thirties and was dressed in a striped white T-shirt and jeans, managed to reach the scaffolding tower.

How about this explanation: Blaine hired him to rejuvenate the sagging publicity for his boring stunt.

There were some guys on Fark.com suggesting bombarding Blaine with beams from laser pointers, but nothing near as outlandish and potentially dangerous as this...

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Today's outburst provoked a groundswell of sympathy for the illusionist from worried onlookers who hurled a volley of abuse at the attacker.

I'm guessing there's a large number of Londoners who just have absolutely nothing to do.

OK .. I don't get it

Why are they going off the deep end because he's sitting in a box for 44 days??

As a magician, David Blaine is vastly overrated. His skills are mediocre at best. But he is one of the best in the business as self promotion, PR, and getting his face on TV.

>>>the incident caused frantic scenes as security guards shone a torch in the man's face and tried to persuade him to come down. <<<

The other stuff was funny. This was attempted murder.

Just think, if David Blaine bulked up to Michael Moore size he could have gone without food for 44 years.
