In Sydney, more than 300 people climbed to the top of the Harbor-Bridge bridge, breaking two Guinness Records

An unusual flash mob took place in Sydney, which broke two guinness records at once. Several hundred people climbed to the famous Harbor Bridge bridge in the largest city in Australia and deployed hundreds of flags around the world, BBC News reports.

In total, 340 people were simultaneously at the top of the bridge. So the first of the records was beaten - by the number of people on the bridge. Last time, in 2010, when a similar flash mob was carried out, 319 people were climbed to the structure - they were all participants in the show of the famous TV presenter Winfrey.

The second record, which included in the Guinness Book, concerned the number of flags, which the participants deployed at the top of the bridge. 219 people held the flags of the countries of the world, while among them was the Russian national symbol, which can be seen in the video published by Belfast Telegraph . The previous record with flags was also set in 2010: then there were 143.

It should be noted that the purpose of this event was not only to break world records, but also to raise funds for the campaign to combat polio. Together with the Bridge Climb Sydney, which organized ascents to the bridge, a flash mob was led by the International Non -Great Charity Association Rotary International, which fights the disease around the world.

One of the members of the organization said that the purpose of the action was to draw attention to the problem of eradicating poliomyelitis on the globe. According to activists, there are only three countries left, where polio has not yet been liquidated as a massive disease. It is planned that half of all revenue from the sale of tickets for climbing the bridge will be donated to fight polio.

As for Russia, the inhabitants of Vladivostok also have a Guinness record in the pocket related to bridges and flags. In July 2013, a grandiose flash mob was held in Vladivostok on the City Day, during which people made up the largest image of the country's flag. According to official figures, 26,904 people participated in the shares on the Golden Bridge, which exceeded the achievement recorded in Pakistan (24,200 people).
