Pretty scary...But in no part of the article does it say she was holding her breath. Indeed the references in the bottom say "scubadiver sucked in to a pipe survives".

I don't think a "mundane" person would survive a 10 minute breath hold, especially while in panic

its amazing what the body can do when the adrenaline rushes.. my brother stopped a machine from falling on someone's hand one day. It would have sliced it off if he hadn't.
It took four guys to lift that machine under normal circumstances.

Hmm I somehow start to disbelieve that pipe-story.

Its said that she has been sucked in and she could escape when she reached a canal. That means that she escaped through an opening which physically makes a suction at the other end of the pipe impossible

:hmm
