Italy’s Dario Costa made a unique record, the video is going viral on social media
Italian pilot Dario Costa broke the Guinness Book of World Records by flying his plane in the two longest tunnels. Renowned energy drink producer Red Bull has shared on its official social media handles, seeing which everyone is clenching their fingers under their teeth. Dario Costa has become the first person to achieve this feat. On the morning of September 4, he flew his race plane through the country’s famous Catalca Tunnels. Darione covered the distance of 730 meters (5675 ft 10.23 in) at an average speed of 250 km/h.
Costa said, “It seemed like everything was going so fast, but when I got out of the first tunnel, the plane started moving to the right because of the crosswind and everything slowed down at that point in my mind. I Responded and focused on getting the plane back on the right track to enter the second tunnel. Then, in my mind, everything accelerated again.”
so Dario Costa just became the first person to fly a plane through TWO tunnels and we are literally speechless???? #givesyouwiiings #worldrecord pic.twitter.com/Uk3RFqeVPZ

Netizens were stunned to see Daario flying so smoothly between the two tunnels. One user wrote: “This is totally different madness!!!” While another wrote: “This is an example of absolutely dangerous flying skills.” Wondering how the video was shot. Some netizens wrote on the lines of Red Bull, alluding to the energy drink company’s tag line ‘Red Bull Give You Wings’ getting spectacular wings. Although some people also called it a futile act.
