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!

      That guy is crazy strong! Most men and women can't pull an 800ft. train with only their muscle going up hill. the train weighed about 2,500 kilograms, which means is about 2,500.000 grams! Plus going up hill which makes it feel much heavier. How can a human do that?
