This is not a drill.
On the eve of the 16th of June, there's a minute chance that history books might have become significantly more useless following his titanic feat of man-endurance. Overshadowing key historical events like McDonald's release of the hat trick cheeseburger during Italia '90, it's been predicted that this seminal moment in Stair Climbing history may eclipse the release of the Reebok step in 1992.
The man was Duncan Skehens, and his time was an eloquent 01:55:70. Our team have been busy attempting to use the Time Distance Speed triangle to calculate his ground speed, but the steps are the wrong shape. The only solid comparison available to us suggests a velocity similar to that of Ultra Vox's smash hit 'Vienna' when played on vinyl.
Duncan 'Tour De Force' Skehens is also credited with completing his conquest without the aid of his signature uni-tard and Chris Boardman cycle helmet, which he religiously trains with at Bracknell's state of the art virtual reality stair climbing facility.

Big news. I want to meet this man. What a hero...
