The bore of the cannon is far too small, an average cannon would have a bore of about six inches in diameter, such a wooden cannon would then probably explode

I think they said the researchers contacted the guys who told them it was cgi just to stop people trying this at home.

This Episode was great

They drowned on the night escape

❤😊🌍

I forgot how annoying Adam was.

You knew from the start it was fake because the water in the kiddie pool was too sballow to afford meaningful protection.

Why couldn't they have just bought a pump? Am I missing something?

Yeah they are paddling all right when they should be rowing. 😂

7:20 7:37 😂😂😂😂

this was a awesome myth

I've been looking for that soundtrack for like 10 years lol... help

How do they know the design if it was never found? I can see how they figured out the materials, but I have to think the design is speculative.

What is song on fone ????

Tik tok brought me here

R.I.P. the 4th guy that helped build and plan everything but got trapped in his cell

Pretty wierd, everyone is rooting for the guys to have made it. If you ask everyone here, most of us would agree criminals should be behind bars and yet... all the mistery, inventiveness and genious coupled with a daring escape makes that everyone here hopes they made it out alive

6:36 that start sound though

7:17 whole reason I'm here, have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard😂😂😂

I wonder if they really did make it if their watching this saying thank God we did it when we did 🤣

That model is off the chain.

My step brother and I lost our shit the first time we watched this as kids when Adam says at 7:40 “We’re escaping Alcatraz at Mach 1!” 😂

They hit the Golden Gate so fast in that raft! I think Morris and the Anglin brothers made it!

What he talking about at night dudes be joking and so loud at night before lights out I'm talking yelling until they eventually konk out

I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve “busted in cyberspace.”

This made me laugh so hard as a kid. Still gets me

It is incredible how some of these criminals are so ingenious and able to not only stealthily conceal everything but especially crafting a life raft and the vacuum drill.

Looking back at this is painfully obvious how scripted their conversations are but back then I had no idea lol.

2:30 pause

you don't even slide to go faster that'd just be stupid you do it to dodge the baseman

Gads, Jamie and Adam look so young.

8:08 60% of making it 20% total catastrophic failure 20% slow descent into the depths of hell

Of course you would make your heading towards Angel Island! IF you make it there, GREAT! If the tide pulls you west and south, you'd end up as far north as possible on the north side of the bridge. Aim for the north side of the bridge, and you'll go out to sea. These guys were criminals. However, as a human you somehow feel compelled to route for them getting out. It's almost like The Running Man.

there was a supposed DREAD weapon system that never was fully developed that was an electric version of this. with refinement and a spinning blade it could be an incredibly damaging siege weapon

I wish they had put a camera under the water to see how deep Adam went.

Just fyi but Roger Clemons pitches well over 80mph.

Would have liked to find the "butter" velocity for peeling the skin off the baseball. Not questioning the outcome, just what is the minimum (range) to achieve the desired result. I'm going to wager 237 mph because that just popped into my head...

3:40 The thing these guys are completely missing is the expected behavior. If you see an object traveling at a particular speed, you will expect it to drop along with gravity. If that is disrupted by backspin, the ball won't actually rise, but where the batter expects it to end up will differ.

Someone told the FBI the size of the raft: probably West.

tell ya what tho if i was charging with my 200 pals behind me aswell and we had this gun shoot at us and break bones crush windpipes mutilate eyes mouth and noses and possibly if it hit the head good enuff to kill a few you 100% won that fight ya know most of us are on the ground with broken bones so bad we cant stand the pain some are dead and the rest are still hurt but can hold a gun yea you won you can just pick us off with a few muskets and call it a day then with the people on the ground just kill them with swords like picture your running at a fucking weird looking machine thats spitting out steam and is makeing a weird ass sound and all of a sudden your getting punched by like 20 iron balls that break your bones n shit i rekon you wont be able to fight

if they were smart enough to do this then they would have been smart enough to leave some stuff behind to try and fool authorities the fact is they did have access to materials to make a raft.

Why didn’t they just ask NASA while they were there

I'm here because I've been to Alcatraz and can't wait to get back to San Francisco.

I guess this episode was sponsored by NASA. Never knew Mythbusters where soldouts

If they are alive one of them will contact the police before he dies just to prove they made it

I think people dumb down previous generations way too much. They did laser etchings without a laser 😕 in granite. Drilled near perfect holes and cut 90° corners in solid granite, on the inside. Yeah, they cut them with wooden spoons dipped in wild berry juice. 😂

Why make it that complicated just use a tee and your swinging machine.

So in portal 2, the white walls are made of regolith rocks that are very toxic

Nobody tell the moon is covered by multiple light sources stars, earth and moon.

You know if I were going to do this escape, one thing I'd do is drump random stuff in the Water to convinced them I'd drowned. Also seen as the 9 names lead to nothing at all, I doubt the validity of those names, especially as why did they even write them down just remember the names...
