Tug of war with airplanes
To mark 100 years of aviation in Hong Kong last month, 260 volunteers — including children — lined up for a tug of war against a Boeing 747, two Airbus 303s and a Zlin Z242L. The 100 people pulling the 218.56-tonne Boeing forward by 100 metres set a Guinness record for the heaviest craft pulled that distance by a team.
