On Friday October 21st, hundreds of people gathered at the Kadam Train station in Damascusto witness fellow Syrian, Adnan Ismail al-Awad, pull off an incredible stunt - Move an 800 feet train with his own muscle power.
While the train weighed 2,500 kilograms, the strongman believes that because he was pulling up an incline, it becomes lot heavier - almost four times as much, or about 100,000 kg. While that may be a slight exaggeration, even pulling 2,500 kilograms using sheer body weight sounds incredible to us!

- shannonover 13 yearsI think that is so unbelievable!I am starting not to believe it. That is imposible. he probaly had to go to the gym to pull that heavy weight train. if I saw that I would. Not be able to look at the man struggling to pull that train and at the same time go sweat and like beat the world record for sweating. I think that he probaly won a prize of about 234$ for pulling that.
