Rathakrishnan Velu sets world record

Rathakrishnan Velu bettered his world record for pulling train with his teeth.On eve of Malaysia's 50th Independence Day, Raja Gigi, as he is known locally, broke his own world record by pulling a train with 6 coaches attached weighing 297.1 tons over a distance of 2.8 metres at the Old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station. Raja Gigi, from Tampin in Malaysia learned a technique of concentrating his powers to any part of his body from an Indian guru at a young age of 14.

so many jealous ppl on this planet, just can't see any1 doing well, how the fuck is this fake? its real!

[chrisabrahamjr]

Hi Manjot, there are much more supportive people also. We have to live with the others as well.Thanks for the observation.

interesting.

i wonder if the company knows about him...

[chrisabrahamjr]

KTMB ( the Malayan Raiways) was kind enough to give him the opportunity to pull their trains. The Managing Director and all the top management were there to witness it including a Deputy Minister.

hahaha. didnt mean that company. I mean the one in Odessa, Texas. the paper company that specializes in finding "special" people.

[chrisabrahamjr]

Tried searching for the paper you mentioned. It sounds interesting. Could you send me a link. Thanks.

[Vangali]

no its not.. 1/2 a ton vs. 297 tons?

[remz2000]

He is not actually pulling 300 tons, he is fighting against the friction of those 300 tons on the ground, which is smaller. Still, my teeth would totally break if I tried to do that lol.

[lambmaster27]

you've all idiots who don't understand simple physics. The train is standing still and he applying pressure, any pressure no matter how small will eventually move the train that way, the wheels are lubed up so they can roll easily

[TrinityAlex]

@stonedbanshee ok.. physics lesson 1 on 1 - lets take a rigid sphere 1 meter in diameter - lets say it weighs about 5 tonnes if it stands on a very rigid flat surface, and you give it a slight push, why does it rotate? its the same principle, the man can push with his legs on the "wooden" piece between the rails a maximum of 200 kgs [lifting record is 235 kg for a 90 kg man]. He can't pull with his teeth with more force than he can push with his feet.

[stonedbanshee]

@TrinityAlex I think the person was talking about the wood in between the rails where he is using his legs to push. I was kind of thinking how that one piece could withstand that.

[TrinityAlex]

@OdikosGamias You're an idiot... he doesn't LIFT 297 tonnes, he just pulls them... - if its a good train, with very low friction in the wheels it doesn't really matter how much the train weighs - you should be sorry for skipping your physics lessons ...

and wtf do you mean the rails are wooden ? dumb nut...

[OdikosGamias]

This is impossible to be done for one reason.The rails can't stand 297 tonnes of pushing pressure,they are wodden , even if his teeth could stand 297 tonnes of pressure and not pop out, the wooden rails would't..

[fakeplasticks]

If this is "fake" why is there a world record for it?

[lascabras69]

He is a super sayan??

[Lakilester00]

MALAYSIA BOLEH! MALAYSIA BOLEH!

@MaxEagle50

also the way his back is pulling 300 tonnes would surely pop a disk in your spine 0.o
