shashlab is the worst show ever, rofl. and CO2 is not carbon monoxide.. any highschool kid would know that. what a failure.

[ihmen]

i dont know what is more retarded, the fact that they called it a CO2 cop car when carbon monoxide is CO1 or just CO. or the fact that they think a guy running from the cops is gonna stay still let the fucking cop car spray that shit from 2 feet away for 30sec until his car stops... and also it looked like it didnt even work. not to mention its a bad idea to be spraying poisoness gas around a street to try to stop one fucking car. everyone at smashlab should kill themself

@ihmen With that gas)

@flectz That "2" at the end of formula is not there by accident)

@LOLDISNEYLAND You can still breathe in a large amount of co2 without being poisoned. It's used in fire extinguishers. It's fairly harmless.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

@iwan0t0smith CO2 is a poison. It will suffocate you. Anything that chemically inhibits your system or directly affects your system is a poison. CO is a more direct poison as it enters the blood stream.

CO2 isn't a tragic byproduct of metabolism however as many biological systems use CO2 to develop sugars or food and keep carbon products within a cycle.

When you hear of climate change, think of a glut of carbon based chemicals in a system and that system can't cope with it. Read about it too.

The rock music just fucking irritates me. I actually love Kyuss so much that I would fight someone if they hated it. But this music is cheap generic bullshit just like the fucking show. Shame on Discovery Networks. SHAME!! BOOOO!! ?In the 90's Discovery was a household name. Now it is completely brainless.

@unclepoepoe Not necessarily. I do agree with you, but if implemented a certain way.. once disabled, they could keep a stream of CO2 on the car even easier to KEEP it off and allow it to be boxed in, halting the chase.

@firstmonopolopolis CO might have come into the argument because the description of the video says "The crew attempts to disable a speeding car using a jet of carbon monoxide."

[unclepoepoe]

@ihmen not to mention, all the guy that was running would have to do is start the car again....

[jpelczar]

@firstmonopolopolis I guess they'd have to literally fill the engine are with CO2. By spraying some gas at the engine they don't accomplish anything. Lots of gas will disperse quickly and the engine air intake would also suck in lots of air along with the CO2 ... I guess it would be easier to fire some rocket which would cause small explosion under the hood just to rip some of the wires and pipes apart.

the car would NOT actually follow the cop car that long, and while the driver is being nice and obedient, just ASK him to stop!
