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.

I like “Mythbusters”. I just wish they had more new shows. Oh well I just watch it for the cute red head anyway. No not Jamie, the girl one.

It was a pretty awesome episode. Dropping cars from 4000 feet should just be a show on its own called “Dropping cars from 4000 feet.”

That explosion at the end was in the news a month or so ago, because it blew some windows out in a nearby town and scared the bejeezus out of the residents.
