It is amazing! A total of 10,276 people in China's Inner Mongolia have broken the world record for the biggest human domino chain, toppling a record set a decade earlier in Singapore by more than several hundred. The participants in the city of Ordos sat cross-legged and fell backwards in a line that snaked across an enormous square in a record which took an hour and 20 minutes on Thursday. The group of mainly high school students spent more than twelve hours over three days to train for the event. The previous record had been set in 2000 by 9,234 Singaporean students. The ceremony in the Inner Mongolian city of Ordos kicked off with Chinese basketball star and former NBA player Mengke Bateer passing a basketball to the first domino in line, who then all fell backward in turn. The human dominoes were a success with new record is 10,276 people and is also a new Guinness World record. This event also shows that anything could be accomplished if you have the heart to do it.
