World’s tallest woman flies for first time in her life thanks to special bed

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

The tallest woman on the planet has finally taken her first-ever flight after the airline adapted one of its planes so she can fit into it.

Rumeysa Gelgi, 24, flew with Turkish Airlines to San Francisco and six seats were removed, replacing them with a specially designed stretcher.

She was officially named the tallest woman alive by the Guinness World Records this year and she is 7ft 1inches in height.

Her huge stature is as a result of having a condition called Weaver syndrome – which among other things causes accelerated growth and means Rumeysa mainly gets around in a wheelchair.
