Guinness World Records
A Canadian minister and record-setting strongman cried out to “Live with Kelly and Ryan” viewers this week, dragging a New York City bus 16 feet down West 67th Street.
The bus weighs 33,400 pounds, giving Kevin Fast the world record for the heaviest vehicle pulled using only his upper body, according to Guinness Word Records, which was on hand to document the feat.
Fast, 58, sat on the road, his feet propped up on wooden blocks, and slowly pulled the electric MTA bus toward him using a heavy rope.
