Water heaters are designed to explode from the top. Experience has found that its better to have a hole in your roof than to have it explode sideways and destroy the entire house, killing everybody inside.
Too bad they only overpressured it. To REALLY blow one, plug the T&P valve opening and fire it up. Then you get a *BIG* boiling liquid /expanding vapor explosion, MUCH bigger than simple over-pressurizing.
Why didn't these idiots consult a plumber first on how to really make a water heater missile???
My neighbor went into a new construction house that had a water heater explode in the basement. It went thru 2 2x10 floor joists the 5/8" plywood floor the cieling drywall the 2nd floor joits that plywood floor and thru the cieling joists into the attic where it was stuck 1/2 way out of the roof. The repairs to the house cost almost 7,000 dollars.
in the same epidsode, they are testing the shrinking jeans myth. When they do that, they also showed a short videoclip from a musicvideo. It's a dark man who sings something "your jeans are so tight" or something like that. Does anyone know the singer and the name of the song? :D
