Syrian Strong Man Pulls Train With Pure Muscle Power

A Syrian strong man has done the impossible. Adnan Ismail Al-awad has pulled a 2,500 kilogram train and 800 feet, amazingly he has pulled this massive train with his raw power while what he believes that the train tracks where at their incline!  If the train tracks were at a incline i would think it would be much harder, 4 times harder which would come to a conclusion that he pulled a 100,000 kg train, this didn't happen but never the less still a amazement. This incredible stunt was pulled of at the Kadam train station in Damascus with hundreds of people at the scene with their mouth wide open with amazement, at least that would be my reaction. I think that this was a event that is just amazing, I certainly think it would hurt with all that pressure on your back and shoulders. When i ride home and my pack pack has a few books in it, it already hurts, now multiply the weight of my back pack times 100 or even more and that will be about how much it would hurt. Here is the video I saw. I have to say his yelling is a bit unneeded and well just weird.

Dirt Movie Reflection



Dirt, it’s dirt useless and just gets our shoes and clothes dirty. Its always in the way, well that what some people think. Dirt isn’t just a dirty messy thing, it is a component of life that we need and can’t live without.

To many people dirt is there life. Dirt makes homes for the people in Africa, Potterists need clay they need dirt. Dirt is made of bare rock. Dirt is even better than cement, when we put asphalt on our roads we are covering the rich and beautiful soil. Dirt is a living substance which means it is cruel to hurt it and lock it up under our asphalt. Dirt is very important because
  • It saves peoples lifes in Africa (Food, Homes,money)
  • It provides a suitable home for trees, trees give us oxygen, trees prevent erosion and take in all the bad air chemicals.



Dirt is in danger in many ways. Dirt if not treated well will dry up and eventually all we will be left with is desert, this is called desertification, the process of becoming a desert. when we put dirt in danger we put ourselves in danger. Think of it if the dirt isnt healthy the plants wont grow, if the plants dont grow animals cant eat and we wont have fruit or veggies. If there is no food there is no US!!!! Some people are to dull to notice this simple cycle that they start to cut down trees which causes erosion or they release pesticides into the ground. When the pesticides are released into the ground the small ground water takes the pesticides with it until it meets a stream which eventually meets with a river, then passed on to the ocean/sea and pollutes the water and killed fish. The pesticides are passed on and on and on until the ocean and that when we have a problem.
Also many of the modern day farmers cannot afford the modern day technology and the pesticides that are being forced to the world. If the farmers cannot afford the pesticides and technology their farm will be confiscated by the government. 200000 farmers cant afford these payments in India and commit suicide by drink the pesticides or hanging them selves.

Some interesting facts that i learned during this movie is
  • Micros provide energy
  • Perrential means a plant that grows yearly
  • Dirt is made up of bare rock
  • Water is a recycle of dinosaur pee
  • Micilyologist studies what makes up dirt
  • Compost is what turns garbage into dirt
  • Sugar in the dirt is given to the plants
