The Shredded Plane Mystery... | MythBusters | Season 4 Episode 6 | Full Episode 

20:04. First time i hear someone count and multiply imperial measurements out loud like this and its completely unhinged 😭

20:16 for someone using metric, the imperial system is horrible

I love it when both teams work together on a myth

Oh... HiBler. Glad they decided to spell that out in letters....

"In 2001 in New York two planes collided on the runway ..." which would go on to be the most significant event including two planes colliding with something in New York in 2001. Never forget.

Love how lopsided the budget is in this episode basically, One team got a plane engine and multiple plane bodies and probably took the whole budget and then the others just get assigned; "start some fires." Kek.

I love those old mythbusters episodes.

19:55

The amount of mental and manual labor those guys put into these episodes is incredible!

The genius of uploading aout of order.. "Never let them see your next move"

A slightly older (pre firing cap) musket would have just had the flint and steel needed to make a fire...

thanks a lot for all the uploads. this is national treasure of the states and a gift to the world.

It was likely the 3rd prop blade that made the cuts shorter

"Never leave your house without an umbrella." Albert Einstein.

This calculation with miles and yards and inch seems to be really complex. With kilometers and centimeters, you would just have to shift the decimal steps.

Classic episode.

Yes, keep em coming!!!

Those 2 mechanics were so damn cool

I'm English and in the building trade for long time, we use imperial and metric measurements according to what we're doing. You have to bear in mind that a huge amount of our housing stock was built before we went partially metric. Window and door sizes ceiling heights, brick sizes, plywood sizes, even today relate more easily to humans than the metric system. I mean our land measurements, like building plots are stated in acres. our allotment system is measured in rods. Who cares what a kilometre is! We weigh ourselves in stones, our food in ounces, our horses in hands. Base ten is for people who count on their fingers. Temperature is for the older of us is thought of in Fahrenheit.

I love this show.

we call the "firing cap" a primer, mate.

After adding Kari, Grant and Tori they changed 30 years of experience in special effects to 50 :D

While watching them sweep in front of the car, I found myself thinking, 'Hurry Hard.' Curlers will understand.

That cut up plane happened at my uni, I can confirm it was a runaway plane that did this!

holy shit, i severely underestimated the power of that propeller. or overestimated the durability of aviation grade aluminum

11:50 a flintlock would be a good fire starter

Ah these O.G episodes are just so nostalgic... Like a time machine back to my high school years. I had the biggest crush on Kari (and still do). Pure memberberries.

11:06 that's the most Jamie moment I've ever seen

They should continue using the imperial system. I prefer my measurements at the size of "One King's loaf".

10:15 I thought "idle speed" meant the minimum speed the engine can run at.

The plane that was shredded was in Adelaide, South Australia, I was working in a hanger next door the day after it happened. Every one was amazed when we saw the carnage. Certainly not an agro wife.. It belonged to a University.

The funny thing is that Les Stroud actually made fire using a rifle, bullets and tinder.

20:25 LMAO

28:31 I actually made a parabolic mirror like this as a scout when I was younger. Although I used real polish and then then cut the bottom off the can and filled it with epoxy to make it soild. An to this day its still in my camping pack.

I watched this episode years ago and used toothpaste to polish the bottom of a can xD

God damn it.. i always say i'm not going to watch the whole video, just bits.. yet here i am..

I want to turn that plane engine in to an aircooled hotrod..

sucks that they had to remove the full episodes in the US, at least it works with VPN😂

Funny how back in the day they had the hosts talk to each other about Information they wanted to tell the viewel, instead of just saying it to the camera 😂

Wait, where did the rest of season 4 go? They were all here but did they suddenly get geo-restricted? I think some of the other seasons got affected too.

Those cuts didn't look exactly the same. My money is on a very angry girlfriend with great upper body strength, a steady hand, and a chop saw with a good diamond blade.

when did we go from '30 years' to '50 YEARS of special effects experience' in just 4 seasons and the back again?

When do you get the zombie episodes?

Ok, I'm buying a Flint fire starter, just in case.

Earl WHAT?

22:10 never knew his nose twitches and tries to talk at the same time...

also instead of chocolate.... maybe toothpaste

22:40 did tori just made a really spicy round and no one stopped him?

24:50 unfortunate last name

You know, I’m deathly afraid of ants, but I still have yet to use a magnifying glass to burn any. Seems a little fucked up to me.

You not blowing to get smoke

la guerre du feu. scène tournée 3 cameras a l épaule. 1 take. le gars fait ca live

Even nearly 20 years later, i still dont understand what the point of that fire starting myth was. Some of the methods were neat, but most of them just seem pointless filler.

8:59 “dec4pitation advice” Adam: start laughing

All those people clearing the tracks on the railway. They haven't heard of water blasters? 😆

For the fire by ice myth. They should of been in a freezer with artificial sunlight so the air temperature would of been freezing. That way the ice lens may of not melted do fast

25:00 Was his Name realy Earl - HITLER?!? LOL XD

13:08 some teeth

First!

Why no tailplains ? Rubbish and rigged
