I fucking love how of all the time Jamie gets comfortable and dances it's while he's sitting in a shark cage which would be terrifying to most people, watching these episodes back again I'm amazed I didn't realize sooner that Jaimie is hella autistic like Adam being ADHD like he is felt more obvious to me somehow but there's so many moments I'm like oh yeah I get why he is how he is now and I love him even more for it lmfao I gotta get over to M5 while it's still around and get a picture of the place

Absolutely love Mythbuster

[@chriswatson6231]

In the 747 cockpit, check out the number of meters and controls on the engineer's panel. No monitor glass screens, just "steam guages" and multi position switches. You dont get to see it here but I love the pinball machine technology of barber pole flags and literally, little pop up warning flags on the guages. Easy to read a watch, try 3 or 4 hands on a clock face, and read it intuitively and instantly. And the the icing on the cake - everything has a circuit breaker with an a mechanically induced warning "pop". One other gem is the stick shaker. A vibrator in the yoke, as a "feel it" based warning. Like a rumble box for a 1990s nintendo controller, except its made of metal and acuated by the same type of hydrolics used on a fork lift truck. And all this was considered a walk in the park when flying a jet, as compared with the last iteration of the piston engine. The engineer had to deal with aprox. 100 spark plugs, double supercargers, multi turbo chargers and highly complex cooling and lube setups. Get it wrong, and......

The engines are large. So large, they fit a full Richard Hammond in the intake with room to spare.

[@elizondorj]

Jet engines are powerful. Some years ago I was in Sint Maarten (Lesser Antilles) and on Sundays one could go to the beach which is precisely across a narrow road from the takeoff position for the direct flight to Paris, an Airbus A330 with twin engines, each one producing over 60’000 pounds of force. One is actually picked up from the beach and thrown into the ocean, which is as close as you can get to flying by flapping your arms! Of course, I spent quite some time afterwards picking sand from every orifice in my body because you get sandblasted as part of the process.

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

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.

Dolphins are hardly the 'good guys' of the ocean, they legit might hassle sharks because they hate them and it's fun (when they can gang up on it). The fake dolphin is too fake to fool the sharks; the sound, smell and electric field would have been all extremely odd to the sharks. Would a shoplifter proceed as usual; if randomly there is a dude in a giant Snoopy consume -just silently standing in the middle of the store? Odds are they are just being thrown off by something new and weird.
