Record Breaking Pulling a Jumbo Jet

The International airport serving Hong Kong was the scene of a recent Guinness World Record attempt. This task involved hauling a huge Boeing 747 airliner over 100 meters.



A team of 100 pulled the airliner which had a weight of 218 tonne across the tarmac at Chek Lap Kok. The strong team included members of the Immigration Department, Police Force and Fire Service Department as well as other Government services.

The Government of Kong Kong is making small steps to reduce pollution at the airport. It is not clear if this is an attempt to reduce emissions by having teams of residents pull aircraft around the airfield.

The record is still an admirable feat and too place as part of a celebration of 100 years of aviation in Hong Kong.
