Default Myth Busters Demolition Derby Episode

Saw this episode for the first time tonight. Man, what was the budget they had for the smashed cars, smashed trailer trucks, crane rental, helicopter rentals, and rocket propulsion use?

Demolition Derby (Apr. 8)
Is Keanu Reeve's iconic motoring movie Speed just fake film physics? Will a car dropped from 4,000 feet fall faster than a speeding car? Is the compact conundrum of a two-truck head-on collision a myth?

How would it be? To have a huge budget to break things and try things we did as children. So, my guess is, the car wouldn't fall from the sky faster than the speeding car, unless the speeding car accelerated less than 120 MPH. I didn't see the episode, but let me know if I'm correct.

I prefer Microwave experiments myself lol

Light bulbs, iPods, teddy bears, gun caps...all on youtube. is it a good idea to microwave this?

Mythbusters were a great show until they started 'busting' myths when they're actually true. i can name about 3 times they were wrong then i stopped watching. it started losing it's educational focus and got just like every other show. got all about explosions and blowing up that dummy of theirs. even to the point that you can see reruns of the show on Spike and G4.

One of their old experiments i had fun watching was when they put the two dead pigs in the corvette trying to bust the myth of never being able to get rid of the smell (they couldn't, and neither could a biohazard team) what happened to that?!

Yeah, they do a lot of explosion type stuff now. I don't mind it so much, I find about 75-80% of their experiments pretty interesting.

In one of the following episodes on Saturday night, they took a Porsche convertible and tried to prove whether or not the myth of driving fast enough in the rain would force the rain drops from hitting the interior while the top was down. and it was actually true, I think they hit about 105 MPH, but sure enough, the rain was diverted by the windshield.
