Let's see the North Koreans top this!
In commemoration of the 564th anniversary of the Ottoman conquest
of Istanbul in 1453, the contractor building the third Istanbul airport
organized a 1,453 dump truck parade (!) to break the Guinness world
record for the "Longest Truck Parade".
The CEO of İGA Airport Construction Yusuf Akçayoğlu explained
the details of the record-breaking event, which was held on the new
airport's number 1 runway, as follows: "Preparations took two months.
We started with a computer simulation because any hiccup in the flow
of the trucks would foil our effort. We even had a special radio frequency
for the drivers to monitor. We had mostly Turkish drivers, but Pakistanis
and Vietnamese ones, too."
Our motto: "Killing Time Productively!"
The previous record of 416 trucks was set in Holland in 2004. Guinness
record-keeper Prof. Dr. Orhan Kuran and other officials were on hand
to document the momentous event.
