04.13.09 HOORAY, ROCKET SLED CAR EXPLOSION!
One of the more memorable episodes of “Mythbusters” was when Jamie and Adam smashed a stationary car between two semis colliding head-on. Well, they weren’t satisfied that the car wasn’t completely pancaked, so they went out to the New Mexico desert to smash a car with a steel rocket sled traveling at 650 miles per hour. Using this precise scientific methodology, they determined that explosions are empirically f-cking awesome.
And if you don’t “Mythbusters” doesn’t show you 800 replays from various angles of a steel rocket sled smashing into a car and a thick concrete wall at close to the speed of sound, then you, my friend, have never seen an episode of “Mythbusters.” My favorite part is the smashing.
