Pulling double-decker buses or Boeing 737 aircrafts isn’t something I’d particularly volunteer to
do. The idea of pulling the two using one’s hair just makes me want to fall out and faint.
Excuse me? Come again? The man known to Malaysians as “Mighty Man,” Letchemanah Ramasamy who first made national fame
in 1990, for dragging a Boeing 737 nearly 56 feet and later the
Guinness World Records in
1999, for tugging a double-decker bus using only his hair, passed away at the age of 55 due to heart
complications.
Good, strong hair genes run in the family as this
Mercury News piece notes his youngest
daughter, Jayabarathy to have performed a similar feat in 2002 when she pulled a truck with her hair. Survived by
his wife, son and two daughters I’m sure Ramasamy will be missed and held in the memories of many.
