Video footage of Robert Wadlow, the world's tallest man, captured in April 1940

[1srelluc]

Wadlow's height was 8 ft 11.1 in while his weight reached 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone (HGH).

My big question is how big were his feet? Go here for a write up on a kid who now holds a record because of his foot size.

God bless you and the boy always!!!
