Re: MythBusters and HTF...

Last nights Demolition Derby had some absolutely cool mythbusters.. that has to be one of the best jobs ever.

I think they missed the point a bit on the "Speed" one with the bus; both made it around the turn, yes, but Jamie's try at it was way more out of control and he slowed down coming out of it as a result.. which would violate the rules of the movie that no matter what, it had to be going "faster then" or else there would be an explosion. So, it wasn't just about the flip, but the speed.

Re: MythBusters and HTF...

I kept thinking the same thing Matt. Once around the corner it looked like the bus was going below 50mph and as we know, that means *BOOM*. It was pretty cool when Adam did it the first time and it almost replicated the movie stunt exactly, even with the wheels barely coming off the ground. Nice stunt!

The pancaked car was spectacular especially the amped up rocket sled version. Holy moly! That was one of the coolest things on Mythbusters.

Re: MythBusters and HTF...

I was really surprised and watched the car-into-convertable a couple of times. That was pretty amazing. They were lucky that car didn't really get away, the way it bolted out of there.

My kids loved the fruitstand. I may have to save this one on the DVR for a while, because it was the best looking HDTV stuff I've seen.

Re: MythBusters and HTF...

I hope they revisit the rocket sled again. That was by far the coolest thing they have ever done. That second stage acceleration was massive!!!

Re: MythBusters and HTF...

And that compact car disappeared so quickly! The destruction was so efficient, it looked like a video wipe!

How many Korean era rockets do they have left? Can they make more of them?

Re: MythBusters and HTF...

I thought they missed a bet on pancaking the compact without the rocket sled. Several versions of the myth I've run across (including an illustrated version) specified that the car was not in line with the trucks, but at right-angles to them. (Disabled and without lights in the middle of an intersection.) Thus it was flattened in a way that a car being crushed front-to-back. along the strongest part of the structure, would not have been.

But rocket sled was really cool.
