Never noticed the dedication at the end before. Mr. Wizard WAS my childhood, before Bill Nye, before Beakman, he made science FUN. Nice to know someone at Mythbusters felt the same way

[@gohawks3571]

Wow, I never noticed that! Probably because you can never see the credits☹️ My husband is distantly related to Mr. Wizard. I never got to watch him growing up, but found a few episodes. Terrifyingly interesting 😁

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.

That really sucks. $10k for custom rockets by experts and they explode... that's beyond frustrating and the company should make up for it.

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.

[@chasm6091]

@@megaverner I thought the guy who said that and the people who built the rockets were not from the same company. The guy may have set the team up with the builders, or be the liaison. That’s often how freelancing works, and that’s what it sounded like from how he talked about it. When Adam wonders if he’s getting his money back, the dude clearly isn’t part of the group he’s talking about.

The cab incident happened in 2002, and the driver unfortunately died. Funny thing is in 2015 it happened AGAIN...

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

[@MayaPosch]

She's listed in the credits as the 'Mythtern', if that's any consolation :)

[@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......

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.

[@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

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.

[@LENZ5369]

@SherlockPies Shark tourism is a major industry in that area; so they would be quite used to it -so much so that it is a concern that (chumming) has made the sharks associate boat/people with food. In addition to the weird sound; the fake dolphin would also have a weird electric field.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@jamesmckenna5453]

The dolphin myth has a lot of believe-ability, were they deterred because of the dolphin or because a large semi-still object was near the bait is unclear. Orca on the other hand DO scare sharks, they have seen Great Whites give up hunting grounds if they find Orcas in the area. There was even an event where people saw a Great White get killed in a one-on-one fight with an Orca in San Francisco Bay! So yeah, this myth is very plausible.
