  • I find this show entertaining, however there are certain myths where I am left scratching my head and can't help to feel that they did not account for separate variables. The airplane flying in the air with 300+ Mph of wind moving across its exterior creates a very low pressure on the outside of the plane. The air inside ( no velocity) hasmuch higher pressure than the high velocity air just outside the window(bernoulli's principle). They missed this, and the 300mph wind pushing on the damage

  • all of sudden everyone becomes an expert lol

  • '... has some explosives left over. so decides what happens with a really big bang' I love you mythbusters!

  • @CooCurrent Like?

  • @marioo360

    you're a smart one aren't you ?

  • The explosive did most of the damage! This was not a proper experiment.

  • The only thing they left out and would have to be tested is, Well that plane is standing still and not traveling at a cruising speed of 300+ knots. I Guarantee you their Findings would change drastically on a plane that they had turned into a drone and did their test(s) at actual altitude and speed. .

  • hmmmm yeh this is really bad its at ground lvl

  • Yeah thanks for teaching terrorist how to do it!

  • Too many factors not accounted for????

    43 people need to search google for "OUT-FLOW VALVES"

  • @venter234

    Thats why they pressurized the airplane to simulate being at 10,000 meters or 33,000 feet.

  • there not 38000 feet in the air
