Meet the world’s tallest teenager
Bradon Marshall is 16 years-old, 7 feet and 4 inches tall and still growing. Meet the world’s tallest teenager as doctors try to learn how someone so young is growing to such dramatic heights.
The world’s tallest woman was able to make her first trip on an airplane after an airline removed six seats.
"This was my first flight, but it certainly won't be the last. From now on, I will be very honored and happy to fly to different parts of the world with @turkishairlines. A heartfelt thank you to every single person involved in my journey," Rumeysa Gelgi wrote on Instagram of her flight on Turkish Airlines.
The Turkish woman, who stands at 7 feet, 0.7 inches tall, had never flown before her ride in September from Istanbul to San Francisco. Photos posted to her Instagram account showed how the airline removed six seats to make room for a stretcher that Gelgi laid on during the flight.
The 25-year-old plans to spend the next six months in the U.S. and has been documenting her time in California on her Instagram account.
