Crazed Mob Eats Sandwich

Over 1,000 volunteers spent the past two days in Tehran building the world’s long sandwich—a 1,500-meter ostrich-meat hoagie that would beat the previous record of 1,378 meters set in Italy in May. One problem: a hungry mob destroyed the sandwich before the Guinness representatives had a chance to measure it. The entire sandwich was said to have been eaten within a few minutes. Organizers hope that video and photographic evidence of the sandwich will allow them to still claim the record.
