Strange..

Those wacky Germans. Who else would think of creating the world’s "strongest artificially generated tornado" inside an old car museum?

The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, and the twister has been officially given the thumbs up by the Guinness Book Of World Records. The tornado measures 34.4 metres high and, in typical German fashion, was designed not as an attraction or an installation but as an innovative way to channel smoke out of the building during a fire. As fire fighting technologies go, this has to be one of the coolest looking.
