...sentence: death by hanging for Jamali and three others. On hearing the verdict, Jamali seemed almost to lose his balance, then leaned wearily on the railing of the prisoner's box.

The break point came at 32,000 ft. in this experiment; only one volunteer wore down the researchers by failing to black out. The rest...
