Local Team Counting Toppled Dominoes After Attempt To Break World Record
WESTLAND (AP) -- Thousands of dominoes were being counted following an attempt in the Detroit area to break a Guinness World Records toppling mark.
About 70,000 were set up for Saturday's effort at Westland Shopping Center for the largest domino circle field.
The record of 54,321 was set in 2014 in Germany.
Saturday's project is called the "Zeal Credit Union Incredible Science Machine: World Edition."
Zeal spokeswoman Tiffany Sweet says organizers believe the 2014 record has been broken. She says Saturday's count has to be recorded and confirmed by witnesses before results are sent to Guinness World Records.
Organizers also were seeking Saturday to top a national mark by toppling 250,000 dominoes. They say the previous national record of 197,598 dominoes toppled was set last year by the Incredible Science Machine.
