[quote]Daniel J. Calhon, of Snohomish, Washington, told investigators he fainted Sunday afternoon while holding his breath in the Highway 26 tunnel near the community of Manning, according to a news release.[/quote] [quote]The tunnel, called the Dennis L. Edwards Tunnel, was completed in 1940 and carries the highway through the Northern Oregon Coast Range mountains. It's 772 feet long, meaning that [u]a car traveling at the posted speed limit of 55 mph would get through it in about 10 seconds[/u].[/quote] Passing out when holding your breath for 10 seconds? Something stinks.
