[misterbonzai08]

[Tyco200]

Hah! Battle Of Midway = Japan worst nightmare? SBDs with these things.

[iamspeedy0323]

[Mopja100]

jamie and whats-his-face are totally gay for eachother!

[Zalamedas]

he's falling.. he's falling.. he's going towards it - KPOOOOOOWWWWNNNN!!

[FTSinclair]

Cushioning shock-wave bwahahahaha!!!

[ctbram0627]

what are the google map coords?

[TheThetromboner]

Jamie want big boom

[IsTheCoW]

Now that...

*Puts on sunglasses*

Is what i call a big bang..

YYYYYAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW

[PresidentDRCI]

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this the largest explosion ever for a tv show?

[chobits389]

"You can't get that off"

"No we're gonna cut it here and here and display it proudly"

God I love these guys XD

[Loo0Lzz]

1:30, Yeah, you would get an AWSOME steel necktie

[Kopihucky]

called a compression wave. If you are near that it will break eardrums, bones, knock you off your feet and possibly kill you. Pretty much a big sonic boom moving your way as the air is displaced.

[naruto77758]

i know how ya fell, loving all that BIG booms hahahaha xD

[MrJoBilly]

Adam: "It's plausible"

Jamie: "C4"

Adam: "But"

Jamie: "C 4 !"

[lastxwriter]

Whatever firefighter said that the explosion point is awesome made this clip.

[mikeMusic00]

The concussion would have killed him

[MrSpEeDrUn]

is the shockwave so intense that it courese the light?!?!

[Disgorge2b]

Sludge

[EphraimFuchs]

@idontknow164 this is awsome but this explosion used 500 pounds of explosions and cement truck is 800 but there was one with 5000 trying to make diamonds with explsoions

[the0barak]

who's ted?

[vigo894]

@the0barak= Buster's brother.

[idontknow164]

I know this was pretty damn big but it isn't awesome as the cement truck. The cement truck will always have the spot of best Mythbuster explosion of all time (to me anyway just because at the time, that was nothing we ever seen before)

[piberata89]

@idontknow164 Totally agree !!!

[Braydenr69]

anybody else feel like wtf booming this vidÉ

[Soothfish]

I prefer MOABs myself. Keep one under my bed for emergencies.

[LazyBoy159741]

Ted. Like in Bust-ted. Or annihilat-ted.

[HolyReaper123]

I love how out of all the things that could have gone wrong, it was a malfunction of the guide line.

[Npeo]

):53, probably my most favorite clip ever, the shockwave being so strong it sweeps away the camera.

[godofmajora]

BOOM HEADSHOT

[valkyrie1960s]

thats not very good explosives!! This bomb is not very strong!

[RoseCrush]

0:46 "And they dumped on..." "And they dumped on..." (Glares at Adam)

[CrzayMazy]

Well actually, this myth has to be confirmed looking at the description under this video. Cause the only thing hitting the ground would be some pieces of meat, which is different from a soldier imo.

[MrGreatmoviemaker]

this is not 1,000 Lb. Its 500

[demonchil2009]

if the shockwave is frikking visable then god danm its a masive boom!

[G777GUN]

American divebombers in WW2 dropped 1000 lb bombs on the Yamato battleship.

[ZGJDJD]

freeze at 0:31. its the map of china

[zombieX111222333]

oh im so gonna sue you!!!

[bantheidiotsplz]

the bomb that destroyed oklahoma federal building was 7 times bigger

[Cropredy02]

@bantheidiotsplz - And made of a lower-powered explosive.

And blast doesn't scale linearly.

[adamberg666]

oh so they start all the cali wildfires.lol

[mattrocks182]

nope not just you mythbuster9- noticed that also

[iorixs]

this is genius

[sam199919]

ja ist klar. das metall hat sich um den ast gewickelt. der bricht natürlich nicht, wenn da ne metallstange mit mach 3 durchfliegt. ne aber immer doch. nicht das die vielleicht schon vorher da war ;-)

[RoPl0xRo]

poor insects

[Mythbuster9]

is it just me or when he says "lets check the high speed" theres a black bubble looking thing right before it explodes

[howcum4y]

@Mythbuster9 yeahh i saw that

[jmm1233]

thats the contents 1 milisecond being pushed out by the initial ingratiation then the oxygen in the atmosphere combines with the rest of the mixture making the explosion larger

[longlostgus]

Hey listen dude, I never called no one asswhipe, I said asses thrilled like in getting all excited, not in offensive or pejorative way, but I can take the heat, I really try not to get offended by some really nasty comments, to each his own, being that way I dont enjoy nothing man.

So looking back if I offended someones tastes hey I am the first apologizing man, ok?

Still I dont care much for explosions, dont we have enough of that in real life?

[longlostgus]

Oh now you are an art lover ha? LOL, how in the world can you compare the beauty of a dancer with that of an explosion or whatever man, are you kidding me? Are you serious here?

Man you just dont get it, I dont give a rats ass about explosions, period.

[longlostgus]

Sooo, what is cool in it? I just dont get it man, I mean explosions are just that b. f. explosions, and all you guys are getting their asses thrilled by watching them over and over, so good for you man I was only venting my damn opinion.

I might add, I like some of the myth busters tricks but I dont get that strange high they do when seeing something blown away, they be good working for the detonation squad or something of that sort. (right)

[poitertoip]

i really like the sound. the explosions are mainly all the same. i guess it just kinda works with the opinion of the viewer. the reason the explosion was so big is because it was a very powerful explosive... i think? i'm only twelve. you probably know more than me

[longlostgus]

You see? is all in the eye of the beholder, you enjoy the big booming sound is fine,I really dont care much for it since is just that, another big explosion. Whats the art in it? I dont know, but listen is fine with me, I just vented my opinion regarding the subject here, hey by the way youre young but smart and open minded not like other guys over here.

Stay out of trouble ok?

[poitertoip]

kk and thx

[longlostgus]

is it UW right?

take care

[longlostgus]

@baaeh

Ignorance is the mother of filth like you.

Sorry but I dont care for your comment.

[baaeh]

@Longlostgus

you sir, really sound like a fag..

[longlostgus]

Oh man you often play with fire? be real careful, it burns and is nasty, leaves a big scar and hurts like crazy so be real careful.

I was out a lot as a kid. No trouble there.

[lolliepop90]

i see a problem with the title. It was only 500LB

[longlostgus]

I just dont get it man. Whats the big deal in getting all turned on about watching big explosions? Just dont get it.

ANd then they become all aroused when they explode something, can you believe these asswhipes?

Sorry but BUSTED

[sindude300]

Jamie wants big Boom...........! lol

[omegajak12]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aamn

[DragonOmegaX]

Lol they have the best job in the world!

[camokid01]

look at the good side, at least if the shock wave doesnt save him, the explosion will end his pain quicker.

[eatsandsleeps]

Muchacho64's comment scares me badly because they can't even spell.

[Arshunter]

they >?

[onepice1234]

new ground zero

[Xcelcio]

Whoever originally came up with such a myth is....clearly not very bright.

The shock wave did a really good job in preventing the soldier from reaching the ground.....by sending him to oblivion before he lands.

[him050]

The myth was that a soldier fell out of where the bomb gets dropped after one was released. So the bomb hit the target, blew up, then stopped him falling to his death. Pile of bull shit if you ask me :L

[theflidgeface]

@Xcelcio yea i guess Ted is in Cyrodill

[chitoryu12]

@Xcelcio

Well it DID save him from dying from the impact.

[CyberZak619]

@Xcelcio Yeah, but the actual myth itself is true; there are documented reports from the time that say a WWII soldier did in fact fall from a bomber plane at 20,000 feet, land over an exploding train station and survived.

[Ludd3332]

@Xcelcio Yeah, if the shock wave was powerful enough to reduce the fall it would make mush out of the soldier anyway, still wounderbar boom! ^^

[wonsnot]

what is the music playing in this episode?

[DGHamma]

all for public televison

[TheTocksic]

0:43

Jamie didn't have a chance of talking haha :P

[extremists123]

ya i laughed at taht :D

[coppicebrad]

here comes the shockwave

[Ginobi666]

boom

[WolksVagon449]

Now imagine a dozen of those out of a B-17.

[Kingrex16]

b-17s those were the world war 2 planes right

[rdvd7]

yeah american 4 engine heavy bombers

[Kingrex16]

wait a sec my history teacher said that those were built in canada, specifically malton ontario

or am i mistakeing theme with the lancaster another WW2 heavy bomber

[Depthhider]

probably the Lancaster what if i am not mistaken was four engine also.

[Kashrlyyk]

They should really try to do that steel wrapping around something in a more controlled fashion, so that it can be observed.

[AbieticAcid]

my fav explosion is still the one where they use the "powdered milk" or w/e...

[lebbo88]

The creamer?

[MagnusvonYoshi]

The "Creamer Cannon o' Death."

[livinpie]

whoa holy shit!

[serzhik]

What amazes me is how they are able to do all this "environmentally unfriendly" stuff in the insanely liberal, tree-hugging, global-warming-obsessed, anti-progress San Francisco area!

[scunner3rd]

*sues*

[CrypticCrypsis]

this is actually the biggest explosion on mythbusters. but alot of ppl think its the cement truck

[GunNslinger501]

i find the cement truck explosion to seem more impressive though.

[blackshado223]

[yankeesfan1021]
