Here’s a Picture of the World’s Tallest Man and the World’s Shortest Man Shaking Hands

Chandra Bahadur Dangi, from Nepal, the shortest adult to have ever been verified by Guinness World Records, poses for pictures with the world's tallest man Sultan Kosen from Turkey, during a photocall in London on Nov. 13, 2014, to mark Guinness World Records Day.

They met for the first time at the 10th annual Guinness World Records Day in London
At 8'9″, Sultan Kösen, from Turkey, is the tallest man in the world. At 21 and a half inches, Chandra Bahadur Dangi, from Nepal, is the shortest. Today, the two met for the first time— in London, for the 10th annual Guinness World Records Day.
And it was magical. (Or, we assume it was magical.)
Kosen is 31-years-old and works as a farmer. Dangi, meanwhile, is 74 and has a job making placemats and head straps for villagers.

"Even though he is short and I am tall, we have had similar struggles throughout our lives," Kosen, a 31-year-old farmer, told AFP. "And when I look into Chandra's eyes I can see he is a good man."
