In the clip, many people surrounded the man as some whipped out their phones to capture the moment.

After some seconds of great exertion, the man slowly gets the truck in motion. His type of activity, called vehicle pulling, falls under what is known as the strongman sport of strength athletics. In such a sport, an athlete's strength is tested in many non-traditional ways, according to Wikipedia.

Many people wondered how he was able to carry out the task. There were, however, some people who doubted his strength, asking why a person was in the truck's driver seat.
