You Indians feel proud about monorails and big roads...I wish you could be proud of honest leaders, an ethics-driven society and corruption-free environment before the fancy roads and malls.

Unfortunately the monorails and the roads are here....the honest leaders and morally respectable society isn't....we have to live in the present....true story

That's my problem with Indian opinions everytime, "we have to live in the present this way"...no you don't.

Yeah right. Monorails and big roads look good only in US. Dont bore us please.

What exactly do you mean? If we dont live in the present where should we be?

About 10 years ago Indians didnt have access to any of this...this is a marked improvement. You cant just expect to blink your eyes and expect things to change in that time frame....Rome wasnt built in a day..

Can you provide some ideas on how we can take the "express" line to development?

To expect a developing country, any developing country-India, China, Af-Pak, Arab Sultanates or Egypt to have honest leaders; isn't it too much, un-realistic!

Nissan Patrol tows 170-tonne cargo aircraft to enter Guinness Book of World -August 22, 2013

Guinness record as vehicle successfully tows cargo aircraft at Sharjah Airport

Nissan Patrol tows 170-tonne cargo aircraft to enter Guinness Book of World Records

The UAE has made it to the Guinness Book of World Records yet again, thanks to the Nissan Patrol.

Today at Sharjah International Airport, Nissan Patrol broke the world record by successfully towing a 170-tonne cargo aircraft for over 55 metres in the presence of officials from Guinness Book of World Record, Nissan Middle East, Arabian Automobiles, Sharjah International Airport and Sharjah Civil Aviation authorities.

The 170 tonnes included weight of the Ilyushin Il-76 plane, fuel and cargo. It smashed the previous record by 15 tonnes.

The previous world record was held by Volkswagen’s Touareg which set the record five years ago by towing a Boeing 747 aircraft in Germany. An official from the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed the record.

The Ilyushin Il-76 plane is known as one of the world’s toughest cargo planes, designed to deliver cargo and take-off and land in some of the world’s most extreme environments.

Nissan Middle claimed a standard production Nissan Patrol was used for the attempt. The only modification done was on a towing hitch compatible with the aircraft to connect the car with aircraft's pushback ring.

Samir Cherfan, Managing Director, Nissan Middle East, said: "Today Nissan celebrates another landmark day in the Middle East with its second Guinness World Record in eight months. When we began this project we encouraged the people of the Middle East to dream up the next and ultimate challenge for the Hero of All Terrain, Nissan Patrol.

"The overwhelming response has been the inspiration for today’s historic events and we thank all who participated and His Excellency and the Sharjah International Airport for their priceless cooperation. The Guinness World Record for Nissan Patrol achieved here motivates us to ensure we deliver 'Innovation that Excites' in everything we do in the Middle East region.”

Nissan and their partner's Renault have $ mega billion plants and operations in India now, including exports. However, this model in not made in India as far as I know.

Off topic, India's upcoming Delhi-Mumbai freight corridor is going to rock.
It will be done in a handfull of yrs. from now. The corridor will change the industrial, population and development dynamic of India to such an extent that India will emerge a fully industrialised nation out of it.

At parity terms, it is budgeted @ $ 1 Trillion per Indian standards as we speak at start-up ( or $ 100 Billion nominal), it is the world's largest such corridor development ever.

Eastern Frieght Corridor

- I Thought the Eastern Frieght Corridor was at Concept Stage Only, Not!
