CHEN:
On a lighter note... a teenage girl in southern India has tried to make her mark in the Guinness Book of World Records in a show of amazing strength. In a few words... she has one strong bite. Let's take a look.
STORY:
16 year-old Apsara participated in the event called '99999 lights out.' It’s a jointly organized event by her school and Exnora international, a non-profit organization working on global warming related issues.
The highlight of the event was when she dragged five vans with her teeth, covering a distance of almost 10 meters.
Even though Apsara is happy about her performance, she's more concerned about global warming.
[Apsara, Student]:
"Today I attempted this record to launch 99999, which is to spread awareness about global warming. Global warming is a very serious threat to our world. I made this record mainly to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.”
The '99999 lights out' campaign aims to persuade people to turn off their lights for 9 minutes at 9 pm on the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year.
