Weird Wide Web - Strong women pull an Airbus | News Article

Looks like Mienke found another record breaking story. While the rest of us jump onto airplanes and travel around the world, these two ladies decided to rather pull it. These are definitely strong women.

A WOMAN from Barry who only started training two years ago has broken a remarkable world record this week.

On Sunday Sue Thomas-Franklin and her wife Sam Taylor broke the world record for the fastest time to pull an Airbus A320 more than 20 metres, at an astonishing 37.63 seconds.


Their 10-year-old son Ollie and coaches cheered them on at an otherwise deserted St Athans eCube as the pair hauled the 48-tonne plane to victory.
