17 Nov 08 New World Domino Record smashed in the Netherlands – Video of 4 million dominos falling

Well… a record can only be held for so long and they are, of course, made to be broken.

So, here we are – the new world domino record is now 4,345,027 dominos that took a team of more than 85 people from 13 countries working together in the Netherlands to smash the new record. As you’ll see in the video below, it was quite the artistic event with Miss Finland Salima Peippo starting it off (Cirque du Soleil style) hanging from the ceiling.

Some interesting facts; the dominos were set up over 30,000 square feet of space, used over 250 domino types and 300 mechanics… it took 8 weeks to set them up along with a full year of planning!
