2 hour special is actually 1 and a half hour special once you remove TV adverts.

[@heimkhal2.097]

And a 30 minute episode slot is only about 21 minutes of actual episodes. The time checks out

[@Denizyarsuvat]

And only 1 hour if you remove all the repeat recaps after each ad break.

[@pcolax620]

What if I said you get an hour of ads in Australia for this ep

thanks, i couldnt see how long the video was

The 747 used for the car flip stuff is still in active service with the same company. Just checked now, and its latest flight was from Seoul, South Korea to Anchorage in Alaska.

[@nyoomi1483]

I'd love to hear if the people who get to pilot it know it was on Mythbusters, haha.

[@bazzacorps]

Just to make sure I'm on the same page, do you mean the exact 747 in this episode or 747s in general are still used by that company

It is scary how the bus just imploded when it rolled over. No structural integrity there. If it had been a accident with kids, none of them would have survived.

[@natasha8007]

Right? I would have thought it would have a roll cage in it.. although would it make a difference if no one is using a seat belt? 🤔

[@maxxus0923]

it had a hangtime thats why the splashdown squashed the bus top, if it simply rolled over, it would last 2 rolls before it crumples, most of the time it would only tumble on its side due to center of gravity. Your buses are designed with safety in mind, not being jetwashed by a turbofan engine

Well. My guess would be a home-made rocket would have exploded even earlier - while making it. Rocket fuel is nasty. 😬

[@megaverner]

...it kinda worries me that the person who represents the company had an answer right away. "I'm gonna say it overpressurized and went...". ...that means they are aware of the problem, and this exact thing has happened multiple times before. And they did nothing to stop it from happening again. 😮 None of those people have any business building rockets.

Anyone else really think Jess should have been credited as a host/'main cast' member? I know she doesn't have the 'role' of a host contractually or in terms of speaking to camera, but she's directly involved a lot in this season especially. It really feels like she's often on the level of the "B-team" in terms of helping, and those guys are all credited

[@isaacodegard740]

i wonder if that guy who sold that car regrets it

[@SBS24654]

The dolphin mock up is good, but I would also check if the sound of the inner drill scares the sharks, because might be sensitive to weird sounds. They should have conducted one more test with tuna and dolphin mechanics in the water but without the dolphin silhouette

Looked like the second test was without the tail motion on

I don't think the shark was fooled by the fake dolphin, I think it was just freaked out by a weird looking mechanical contraption.

[@drakio404]

sorry to ruin the dolphin story, but one of the real reasons why sharks don't mess with dolphins is: 1 dolphins and sharks' prey are somewhat similar when talking about fish (meaning less food for sharks, more food for dolphins) 2 dolphins hunt in pods while sharks hunt solo 3 dolphins can cause REAL damage to sharks if they fight with their noses 4 Orcas the apex predators of the sea hunt sharks and sometimes only eat the liver of sharks, and dolphins while related they can also hunt sharks but is rare 5 DOLPHINS HAVE A GREAT PR TEAM, dolphins since they are intelligent they can also do some really messed up things, believe me, dolphins are jerks and Hollywood makes them look like nice angels

The animation of the team in the car is awesome, reminds me of the video clip for Hilltop Hoods' music video 'Clown Prince' The name "Holley" would be taken from the carburettor brand that is of the same name I imagine.

[@emzraven666]

The poor Impala. 😢😢 Why did have to be a 67 Impala??

Because they know people would react saying " Oh the myth was using 67 Impala then you used 72 LTD, you guys sucks "

[@kylecharles4333]

A control test animating a fish or seal would have been nice in the shark myth, to see if it's the dolphin or the materials and mechanics making the shark cautious.

[@ryanbuckley3314]

I think that the Whites are not scared of dolphins or people. I think that a defensive dolphin increases the likely energy output in eating the sailor, plus clothed humans in life jackets are not natural prey. The shark judges the situation to be too costly in energy and does some simple math before deciding to find more optimal hunting/feeding conditions.

[@Zorothegallade-gg7zg]

@@ryanbuckley3314 "Ugh, I hate when they have the peel still on."

[@AurelUrban]

@@ryanbuckley3314 I think there's definitely an element of "too much effort" in it, but I wouldn't discount the possibility even great whites simply aren't willing to risk a fight with dolphins. since dolphins hunt in pods, if a shark sees one, there's likely to be more, and dolphins absolutely can do real damage to sharks. dolphins are not pushovers, they are top predators in their own right.

[@tommiejonsson8952]

I was pleasantly surprised by the taxi in a jet-stream bit because usually, the mythbusters team have to increase the effect of whatever it may be to get the same result as in a movie or tv-show, but now we know that a normal unenhanced jet-stream will toss a normal weight car like paper.

[@Dzeroed]

Wacky Races Impala! I must say from a natural world standpoint, the shark-dolphin experiment was pretty damn scientific and really interesting, not to mention excellent to watch! That's definitely now one of my all time favourites

[@pauloalvesdesouza7911]

Those were the good days of cable tv. I live in Rio and vividly remember the blown away taxi story. One detail they did differently by lack of option: on that airport the biggest jets that operate are 737s or A320s.

[@mikul_]

I'm kinda sure my father actually did that once in his youth. Water-skied behind a ferry that went between Sweden and Norway 😃 not the whole way ofc, but anyways. It's definitely possible as long as you have enough speed.

why does the audio quality sound so bad

[@amsivertson]

The way to remember the 4 stages of how a jet engine works: “Suck Squeeze Bang Blow”. That lines up with air intake (suck), compressing the air (squeeze), add fuel to the air and ignite it (bang), exhaust the gasses for thrust (blow).

[@joannem0]

What about a 747 behind a 747?????? 🤔

[@paulwalsh2344]

My question when it comes to the shark vs dolphin result is, are sharks solitary hunters / eaters ? Do all sharks refrain from eating if there are other large aquatic animals around because they are worried that the other animal is a shark that if denied it's prey will attack the first shark ?
