Teller was really drowning on SNL

Penn describes how the trick failed and Teller had to hold his breath for over 2 1/2 min which was not the plan. Penn and the safety crew knew there was a problem, but Teller never gave the hand signal to stop the act, so they kept going. He describes it during this podcast starting around 39:00
