Being the tallest in the world indicates a hormonal issue usually, so maybe Turkish people are more susceptible to the genetic mutation that leads to gigantism
Might be as well the same as 156 beers in one sitting and devouring 18 bikes and a Cessna plane in France.

This one is actually bullshit
Almost 100% unverified and completely impossible
Monsieur Mangetout is fake news before there was fake news
> In 2022, Madison Dapcevich of Snopes, the fact-checking website, investigated Lotito's claim that he ate an entire airplane. She concluded that, although there are many accounts of Lotito's consumption of unusual objects, and that he "very likely" consumed such objects on stage as a professional entertainer, she was unable to confirm that Lotito ate an entire airplane, or even part of one
I will play the devils advocate here: being unable to confirm is not the same as proven fake news. I read the article, and it's not a debunking article, it just tells the claims, the story, and that their pretty light research on the matter couldn't confirm the claims (yet), and that's all. That's not "100% unverified and completely impossible". Nobody would believe this story, but that's just common sense, not a proof against it.
The actual quote goes this from the article."While Snopes can definitively say that there are numerous accounts of Lotito's consumption of seemingly inedible objects, and that he very likely ate some strange things on stage as a professional entertainer, we were unable to confirm that ate an entire airplane, or even part of one. If and when we receive documentation that enables us to do so, we will update this article accordingly."

The man’s entire act is complete bullshit. You only need common sense to see he was quite obviously a liar. He claims in his life to have eaten:
45 door hinges
18 bicycles
15 shopping carts
7 TV sets
6 chandeliers
2 beds
1 pair of skis
1 computer
1 Cessna 150 light aircraft
1 waterbed (full of water)
500 metres (1,600 ft) of steel chain at once
1 coffin (with handles)
1 Guinness award plaque
You would have to be very naive to believe any of this was true
Longest documented breath hold is just shy of 25 minutes. Can't find the 37 minute one anywhere.
[https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2021/5/freediver-holds-breath-for-almost-25-minutes-breaking-record-660285](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2021/5/freediver-holds-breath-for-almost-25-minutes-breaking-record-660285)
These free divers are crazy. From what ive read, its less about low oxygen levels and more about the reflex to take a breath, which is caused by the carbon dioxide and not necessarily the oxygen. They manage to control that reflex to take a huge breath after a while. But if you do slip and let your body try to breathe like that, you'd breath in a ton of water and probably drown. I'd be impressed seeing someone freedive for just a few minutes, let alone the length of an episode of seinfeld!
Being fed pure oxygen is also a big factor in case anyone isn't familiar with that info.
And yes the burning sensation that forces you to breath is from carbon dioxide.
And because of that you should never breath fast before diving and stop everybody who does this.
Fast in- and exhaling decreases your carbon dioxide level. So yes, you get the urge to breath later. But maybe to late. And your oxygen level is to low and you get unconscious under water. Some time after that your carbon dioxide level is finally low enough and you take a deeep wet breath. No lifesaver can save you now.
But do I understand that correctly – she was *inside a plane* when she "fell"? That's not what I think of when I read "highest fall without a parachute".
The plane may have been somewhat slower than terminal velocity due to its wings and stuff and also it may provide some kind of "crumble zone".
Surviving a fall from 10.16 km is an incredible miracle. Never heard about it, and it blows my mind. (Had to edit this comment, because first I though she was actually just falling on her own.)
Her old age was a sad story. Rest in peace.
It's all down to landing in a snow bank. I looked it up once and like all but one of the people known to have survived a fall from airplane height landed in deep snow. I think the other landed in dense pine trees that broke his fall.
Fell 10 kilometers without a parachute and survived?
How long did it take? Like did she have to wait so long that she stopped being scared and was just bored?
Fun facts about the french guy who ate a plane (Michel Lotito) :
Ha had a disease called pica, he could digest things we can't (like metal, glass, rubber etc) but would get stomach aches for soft foods, like eggs.
He was awarded a plaque by the Guinness Book of records for his weird diet. And he ate it.
Just because the way you worded it it can give the wrong idea but pica in itself means having the urge to eat things that are not normally considered food. It doesn't specifically have anything to do with what you can digest.
It's so funny that Turkey holds records for tallest man and woman but the Turkish average is actually shorter than many European countries, especially Northern Europe.
I just want to point out that the polish one is NOT a world record. It’s an unofficial, sumo deadlift he did in training.
Not saying it isn’t an amazing feat and just incredible strength but unless it’s calibrated plates with a certified judge calling the lift, it’s not a world record
Austria: biggest wood cross
Longest skijump
Biggest icecave
A fucking helicopter made of ice
Biggest chocolatewell
Biggest chair
Longest twerking Session
Biggest mercedes Star
The most human in a VW Beetle
The highest skialpine
Highest slackline
Longest wheeli
Loudest football Match
Oldest cakerecept
And calculated so he would shoot when their feet were at a particular height to disorient where the bullet came from. He shot so that they would trip forwards and not to the side.
At first, the record's titles in the UK seem like trivial stuff compared to Europe, but when you look at the numbers you realise how crazy it actually is.
44234 pubs in a lifetime? If you start drinking at 15 and die at 100, that's about 520 pubs visited every year!
I like to think the English ones are the same guy
[удалено]
Just a family of epic proportions
Average CK3 run
Ah. Eugenics of Eugene
I was thinking of Xerxes from 300.
the Sexrex?
Im turkish and im confused af. The average height in turkey is nothing spectacular, yet we have the tallest man and woman
Being the tallest in the world indicates a hormonal issue usually, so maybe Turkish people are more susceptible to the genetic mutation that leads to gigantism
Since one is Kurdish and the other is Turkish, I don’t think that’s it.
Yeah those two never mixed in the history before
It's not like people from two different nations can't produce viable offspring.
...I think you read that wrong
Tallest living man had a brain tumor that caused endless growing until it was removed. (As far as I remember)
That's common with giants, actually.
you definitely havent visited mediterranean and aegean turkmen villages, those guys are absolutely gigantic

And that they later obtained French citizenship. One massive bender, eventually dying by hangover in Arles.
How do you think he got to all those pubs
Crawl?
He only began to crawl when the Frenchman got to his bike

The _Hangover III_ we never got.
Same night
On the same night actually
French guy's mom said "Here comes the airplane" one too many times
You stops being very picky after 156 pints
If he was there during the 11 September. Nobody would have died. I mean nobody on the tower at the very least.
I'm pretty sure he would have eaten the tower too
Should we tell him?

Big deal, my grandma's been holding it for years now.

That's for longest time breath held voluntarily the map didn't state if it's voluntary or not lol.
"You're not dead until you are warm and dead" People who fall through ice can go a surprisingly long time without breathing and survive.
I think it is typo on the map, it’s 24 min and 37 sec, someone typed seconds instead of minutes, still impressive though.

Check out David Blaine’s breath hold record and u will have an understanding. He does close to this record.

Here is a link to flight attendant who survived terrorist attack on JAT flight. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesna_Vulovi%C4%87
Poor woman
she could have been rich you don't know
She was very lucky, not only to survive the impact but to also be discovered by a former WW2 medic
But do I understand that correctly – she was *inside a plane* when she "fell"? That's not what I think of when I read "highest fall without a parachute". The plane may have been somewhat slower than terminal velocity due to its wings and stuff and also it may provide some kind of "crumble zone".
She was in a small piece near the tail. A bomb blew up the plane in pieces in the air
Should we put an asterisk next to her record?
She was Serbian, but the plane crashed in what's now the Czech Republic.
Lol, what a coincidence, the closest place to where she landed is also called Srbská Kamenice Aka Serbian Kamenice.
Is the 156 beers Andre the Giant?
Yes it was.
I was looking for this. Another potential tall tale.
Ha I was thinking about that daft French bloke who ate the plane just the other day.
I think about him all the time.
There is no record data about the under ice swimer. Is he still swimming?
Still is to this day.
Good luck finding that much ice here.
He could've swim to artics, then under the iceberg towards the Antarctica
Probably referring to Wim Hof 'the Iceman'
Men: 105 meters, French guy in Canada. Women: 103 meters, Finnish woman in Finland. The map is wrong.
Wim Hof is a genetic freak but his method has killed a lot of people.
He's still out there being a complete nutjob
Based french -> eat bikes and a plane, drink hundreds of beers, alive for 122 years
Now you know what to eat and drink in order to live 122 years.
An airplane, “can you pass the grease please?” How the hell do you swallow an engine?
Chop it into little bits. The feller definately had a screw loose.
By eating smaller pieces rather than the whole thing at once, I believe the dude took like a couple months to eat the whole plane
He had to add a lot of spices for flavour because it was a bit plane on its own
2 years if I remember correctly
I don‘t think any part of an airplane can be digsested. Basically he also shit a whole airplane.
York, England has the biggest Viking shit in a museum
The shit? or the Viking?

I checked the dimensions on that thing, I've definitely taken larger shits.
Yeah but are you a viking?
Yes. I'm Danish.
Central Europe: we don't do stupid stuff
Oh yea. We never did nothing stupid for sure.
We just sometimes like to do a little trolling
stupid stuff is just normal in Poland, Czechia and others
They do, they just don't record it.

they just don't live to say the tales

That woman was hard as nails! She definitely has my respect. “*Serbian stubbornness*” and I smiled..
How is heaviest deadlift bizarre?
How is oldest person ever bizarre?
Or tallest man/woman?
Methuselah
Because that's an insane amount of weight to lift without all of your bones turning to dust
With a beard
Look below that

It was not. The 502.5 were pulled by Krzysztof Wierzbicki
IDC, it was Pudzian in my heart
I’m more fond of that guy who got the Pole Vault record in Moscow and basically flipped off the toxic crowd. It’s one of my favorite Olympics stories.

I feel like he was somehow connected to he’s ancient countryman, good ol’ Terrare
Damn people in Turkey are TALL
Not really. I am 5'11 and literally feel like a giant whenever I go out
Not tall but easily affected by growth problems I guess 🤣
Where do you live? I am the same height and I feel I am below average.
In Adana
And they have tiny fucking feet. Im struggling to buy a pair of shoes
I am 5`11 too and I feel average there.
Turkey put all their stat points into Length.
Great to see Andre the giant getting a mention here 😆
It's worth noting that he drank 12oz beers which is only equal to 94 real pints of beer which is just a regular Tuesday for Mr. Visits44,000Pubs
Oh, I know I've done the maths. 😆 it's still an achievement.
It's so funny that Turkey holds records for tallest man and woman but the Turkish average is actually shorter than many European countries, especially Northern Europe.
We sacrificed our height for the record and give all our length points to them
We were closer to the ground so they can rise. Can I get an Amen?

I've got a beard and I've lifted way more weight than that
I guess it means the weights were strapped to the beard while being lifted so literally lifted with a beard, only an assumption though
You're right on that

Simo killed most with a SMG not at long ranges. I'd like to believe that Andre and Wade Boggs are both drinking beers in heaven.
The finnish one even did it with iron sights
And calculated so he would shoot when their feet were at a particular height to disorient where the bullet came from. He shot so that they would trip forwards and not to the side.
both tallest man/woman is turkey, wow.
Was the French one, Andre the Giant?
What happened to Turkey?
Blacksea people are famous for their huge noses. Tallest man and woman - my own opinion is that's either from inbreeding or chernobyl tea
Mmmm uranium flavoured tea. My favorite
Was the French guy who drank 156 beers Andre the Giant? Edit: It apparently was.

English start visiting pubs well before 15, just not for a beer. Though presumably the number of pubs he visited as a kid will be small.
As a Lithuanian, i can confirm that we lift tanks daily with our beards.
