50-children bound in world record-breaking bubble

London, Nov 24: A bubble enclosing 50 children has set a new record of having the highest number of kids bound in a bubble before bursting.

The bubble was 11ft across and more than 5ft high before it burst.

The creator of the bubble was ‘bubbleologist’ Sam Heath who shaped it at the Science Museum in London.

The children, all of whom had to be over 5ft, squeezed on a stage surrounded by a moat of soapy water, reports the Daily Mail.

Heath, then, dipped a wand - a metal hoop with a 36ft circumference - into the solution, before raising it above their heads.
