More than 75 teams raced to pull a 82-ton cargo jet across the Dulles Airport runway Sunday to raise funds for the Special Olympics Virginia.
Each team had only seconds to pull the plane over 12 feet at the 21st annual event, trying to tally the fastest time.
GW’s team – comprised of students in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers – put up a time of 8.78 seconds.
The event was expected to raise more than $225,000, according to event organizers.
