DID YOU GET THAT ON HIGH SPEED?

BUT FOR THE "C" WORD OF THE DAY, TORY'S ARRIVING IN STYLE.

Kari: NICE RIDE. THANKS.

BUT FOR THE "C" WORD OF THE DAY, TORY'S ARRIVING IN STYLE.

I GUESS I KNOW WHAT "C" IS FOR.

IN FACT, IT IS PRETTY MUCH

AND TAKING THINGS TO THE MAX.

IN FACT, IT IS PRETTY MUCH

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THE START OF THIS CEMENT-TRUCK CLEANOUT WAS ANYTHING BUT.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT IS? ABOUT A HALF A CUBIC FOOT?

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

IF THAT.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

OH, MY GOD. THAT'S IT, TORY?

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

YEAH, I KNOW. IT'S PRETTY PATHETIC.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKED MOST ABOUT THAT EXPLOSION?

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

IS IT JUXTAPOSES SO NICELY

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

WITH ALL THE LITTLE BOOMS EARLIER IN THE SHOW.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

YOU KNOW HOW ANTICLIMACTIC THAT WAS?

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THE FIRE TRUCK'S LEAVING.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

AND THAT BUILDUP MADE IT EVEN MORE EXCITING.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

Narrator: YEP, IT WAS THE FAILURE OF THE SMALL EXPLOSIONS

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THAT MADE THE BIG ONE SO SPECIAL.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

HOWEVER, THAT IS THE ONE EXPLOSION

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THAT WE DON'T HAVE A HIGH SPEED OF.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

EVERYBODY WAS JUST SITTING THERE WAITING IN ANTICIPATION.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THE CEMENT TRUCK WAS THERE. BOOM -- IT WAS GONE.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

HIGH FIVING, CELEBRATION.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

WE LOOK OVER AT THE HIGH-SPEED OPERATOR,

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING TO CRY.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THERE WAS A TECHNICAL GLITCH.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THE FIRST HUGE EXPLOSION IN "MYTHBUSTER" HISTORY.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

NO HIGH-SPEED SHOT.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

THIS "BLINK AND YOU MISS IT" MOMENT

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

COULD ONLY BE SLOWED DOWN

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

BY LITERALLY PLAYING THE FOOTAGE ONE FRAME AT A TIME.

INDEED BUT WHILE THE ENDING WAS EPIC,

BUT THAT WAS PLENTY ENOUGH FOR IT TO BECOME THE FAN FAVORITE.

WELL, THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM.

Jamie: WHERE DID IT GO?

WELL, THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM.

Narrator: "C" TO "D" TAKES US ON A DATE WITH DANGER.

[ LAUGHS ]

"D" IS FOR DYNAMITE.

Narrator: DYNAMITE.

TRADITIONALLY MADE FROM NITROGLYCERIN,

Narrator: DYNAMITE.

THIS STICKY TRICK HAS BEEN THE WEAPON OF CHOICE

Narrator: DYNAMITE.

FOR MANY A WESTERN.

Narrator: DYNAMITE.

AND IT'S ALSO GONE WITH A BANG ON "MYTHBUSTERS."

OKAY. WE'RE GONNA BLOW OURSELVES OUT OF JAIL

AND IT'S ALSO GONE WITH A BANG ON "MYTHBUSTERS."

WITH ONE STICK OF DYNAMITE.

AND IT'S ALSO GONE WITH A BANG ON "MYTHBUSTERS."

Kari: THIS IS DYNAMITE ARROW.

AND IT'S ALSO GONE WITH A BANG ON "MYTHBUSTERS."

All: IN 3, 2, 1.

AND IT'S ALSO GONE WITH A BANG ON "MYTHBUSTERS."

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

THIS ACTUALLY ISN'T DYNAMITE.

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

IN FACT, NONE OF THE DYNAMITE WE'VE USED ON THE SHOW

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

HAS BEEN DYNAMITE.

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

IT'S A SPECIAL EXPLOSIVE THAT JD MIXED UP FOR US.

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

SIX DROPS OF ESSENCE OF TERROR. FIVE DROPS OF SINISTER SAUCE.

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

IT HAS THE EXPLOSIVE POWER OF DYNAMITE,

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

THE LOOK OF DYNAMITE,

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

BUT IT'S A MUCH SAFER SUBSTITUTE

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

BECAUSE NITROGLYCERIN IS NOTORIOUSLY UNSTABLE.

Narrator: OR HAS IT?

COMING UP ON "MYTHBUSTERS"...

MORE "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIONS.

COMING UP ON "MYTHBUSTERS"...

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

THE OBVIOUS "E" STANDS FOR EXPLOSIONS.

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

BUT WHAT EXACTLY ARE THEY?

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

Grant: NOW, TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, EXPLOSIONS,

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

LIKE THE ONE THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO DO TO THIS CHINA CABINET,

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

ARE A RAPID INCREASE IN VOLUME AND RELEASE OF ENERGY

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

USUALLY RESULTING IN A SHOCK WAVE.

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

NOW, THERE ARE, OF COURSE,

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXPLOSIONS,

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

SUCH AS VOLCANIC ERUPTION, ELECTRICAL EXPLOSIONS,

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

AND NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS.

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

BUT THE KIND THAT WE SEE MOST OFTEN ON OUR SHOW

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

ARE CHEMICAL EXPLOSIONS,

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

WHICH USUALLY INVOLVE A RAPID AND VIOLENT OXIDATION REACTION.

Narrator: BUT WHILE THESE WOULD BE SUITABLE SELECTIONS,

OH, YEAH.

WOW. THAT WAS A THUD.

OH, YEAH.

NOW, THE FIRST EXPLOSIVE EVER DISCOVERED WAS GUNPOWDER,

AND WE HAVE USED A LOT OF IT ON THIS SHOW.

NOW, THE FIRST EXPLOSIVE EVER DISCOVERED WAS GUNPOWDER,

BUT OUR EXPLOSIVE OF CHOICE IS C4.

WHEN IN DOUBT, C4.

BUT OUR EXPLOSIVE OF CHOICE IS C4.

THE EXPLOSIVE IN IT IS CYCLOTRIMETHYLENE TRINITRAMINE.

AND HERE'S THE SCIENCE BIT.

THE EXPLOSIVE IN IT IS CYCLOTRIMETHYLENE TRINITRAMINE.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CAUSES THE BLASTING CAP TO GO OFF.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

THAT CREATES A SHOCK TO THE C4,

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

WHICH IN TURN SETS OFF AN EXTREME OXIDATION REACTION

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

THAT CAUSES THE C4 TO DECOMPOSE INTO A VARIETY OF GASES,

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

ESPECIALLY NITROGEN AND OXIDES OF CARBON.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

THE GASES EXPAND AT 26,000 FEET PER SECOND

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

AND APPLY A HUGE FORCE

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

TO ANYTHING IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

Narrator: SO ULTIMATELY,

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

A C4 BOOM IS JUST A CHEMICAL REACTION TAKEN TO THE MAX.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

ALL RIGHT. YOU GUYS READY FOR THIS?

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

THIS IS "E" IS FOR EXPLOSION.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON,

IN 3, 2, 1. FIRE!

...IT'S "F" FOR FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD.

NOW, AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE FACT

...IT'S "F" FOR FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD.

THAT WE HAVE TO PUT A SIGN LIKE THIS ON OUR REFRIGERATOR,

...IT'S "F" FOR FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD.

"MYTHBUSTERS "AND FOOD HAVE A VERY ODD HISTORY.

...IT'S "F" FOR FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD.

NOW, SOMETIMES WE EAT FOOD.

...IT'S "F" FOR FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD.

SOMETIMES WE BLOW FOOD UP.

...IT'S "F" FOR FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD.

NEXT STEAKS WERE SET TO SIZZLE.

Narrator: THEN CAME POPCORN...

Narrator: WATERMELONS...

Narrator: THEN CAME POPCORN...

...AND WINE.

NOW, THAT'S A PARTY.

...AND WINE.

Narrator: BUT ALL OF THESE FOOD FLARE-UPS

...AND WINE.

DO HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON.

...AND WINE.

Kari: ALL THE FOOD THAT'S DESTROYED ON "MYTHBUSTERS"

...AND WINE.

IS WAY PAST ITS SELL-BY DATE

...AND WINE.

AND IS NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

...AND WINE.

[ SCREAMING ]

...AND WINE.

Narrator: NEXT UP IS SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE "G" IN GEE WHIZ.

Grant: NOW, OVER THE YEARS,

Narrator: NEXT UP IS SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE "G" IN GEE WHIZ.

WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF EPISODES FEATURING THESE

Narrator: NEXT UP IS SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE "G" IN GEE WHIZ.

AND WE'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE, IN FACT, NO JOKE.

Narrator: NEXT UP IS SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE "G" IN GEE WHIZ.

Tory: ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: NEXT UP IS SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE "G" IN GEE WHIZ.

THIS IS TESTING THE BLAST WAVE OF A HAND GRENADE.

Narrator: NEXT UP IS SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE "G" IN GEE WHIZ.

IN 3, 2, 1, FIRE.

Narrator: NEXT UP IS SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE "G" IN GEE WHIZ.

WOW, THAT WAS AWESOME.

ENERGETIC.

WOW, THAT WAS AWESOME.

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

OF PEOPLE WHOSE JOB IT IS TO FACE THESE IN REAL LIFE.

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

BUT THE GRENADE THAT MAKES IT INTO THIS "A" TO "Z"

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

IS THE ROCKET-PROPELLED GRENADE, OR RPG.

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT GAVE US

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

ONE OF THE BEST BOOMS IN "MYTHBUSTERS'" HISTORY.

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

Kari: ALL RIGHT, THIS IS RPG VERSUS TRAILER

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

JUST TO SEE WHAT IT DOES.

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

Grant: 3, 2, 1.

TO BE HONEST, WE'RE TOTALLY IN AWE

WHAT?

IT'S GONE.

WHAT?

THE TRAILER IS COMPLETELY GONE.

WHAT?

Narrator: IT WAS GONE IN A 60th OF A SECOND.

WHAT?

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

PULL OFF SHOOTING AN RPG IN THE FIRST PLACE?

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

Grant: AND WE'D BEEN TRYING

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

TO GET RPGS ON THE SHOW FOR YEARS.

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

AND THEN ALONG CAME THE MOVIE "RED,"

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

WHICH FEATURED A HEAD-TO-HEAD SHOWDOWN

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

BETWEEN AN RPG AND A HANDGUN,

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

WHICH IS PERFECT FOR "MYTHBUSTERS."

BUT HOW DID THE TEAM

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

AT THE ENERGETIC MATERIALS RESEARCH

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

AND TESTING CENTER AT NEW MEXICO TECH.

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

WE BORROWED THEIR EXPERTISE AND THEIR WEAPONS

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

TO FILM ONE OF MY FAVORITE EXPLOSIVE STORIES EVER.

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

OKAY, THIS IS SURVIVABILITY TEST.

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

RPG SHOOTER VERSUS BULLET SHOOTER.

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

Kari: IN 3, 2, 1.

SO WE HEADED DOWN TO OUR FRIENDS

[ LAUGHING ]

MACKEREL.

[ LAUGHING ]

WOW.

[ LAUGHING ]

THAT WAS INTENSE.

[ LAUGHING ]

Narrator: NOT ONLY WAS IT AN INTENSE DAY IN THE DESERT,

BUT THE RPG WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT.

Narrator: NOT ONLY WAS IT AN INTENSE DAY IN THE DESERT,

AND WHAT'S MORE -- IT'S EPIC SHOTS LIKE THESE

THAT TAKE US SEAMLESSLY ONTO "H" FOR HIGH SPEEDS.

AND WHAT'S MORE -- IT'S EPIC SHOTS LIKE THESE

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

THAT THE RPG HITTING THE TRAILER AND THAT EXPLOSION,

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

CATCHING IT ON A HIGH SPEED IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE COOLEST ONES

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

WE'VE EVER DONE ON THE SHOW.

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

THE REASON WHY IS YOU CAN SEE THE RPG

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

AND IT DOESN'T EXPLODE

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

UNTIL IT HITS THE BACKSIDE OF THE TRAILER.

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

I MEAN, IT WAS AWESOME.

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

Narrator: WHILE THE HIGH SPEED DOES OOZE AWESOMENESS,

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

IT'S IN REVEALING A LEVEL OF DETAIL

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REMAIN HIDDEN

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

WHERE THE HIGH SPEED REALLY COMES INTO ITS OWN.

NOW, I'M WITH KARI AND GRANT ON THIS ONE.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

THE GUYS ARE GOING TO TEAR APART A TV.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

ALL SET? LET'S GO.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

Kari: WE'RE GOING TO PUT A POUND OF C4 INTO THE TELEVISION

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

AND THEN FILM THE EXPLOSION

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

ON TWO DIFFERENT HIGH-SPEED CAMERAS.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

ONE WILL BE FILMING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

AND THE OTHER WILL BE FILMING AT 6,900 FRAMES PER SECOND.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

WE'RE GONNA COMPARE THE TWO AND CHECK OUT THE DETAILS.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

Narrator: AND AFTER A QUICK MUSE OF THE MANUAL,

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

IT'S TIME TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE BOOM.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

Tory: ALL RIGHT, DEMONSTRATING A HIGH-SPEED CAMERA

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

BY BLOWING UP A TV. HERE WE GO

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

IN 3, 2, 1. FIRE.

AND TO PROVE JUST THAT,

[ CHUCKLING ]

NOW, IN REAL TIME, BASICALLY YOU SAY 3, 2, 1.

[ CHUCKLING ]

THE BUTTON'S HIT AND THEN, FOR US, THAT'S IT.

[ CHUCKLING ]

IT'S PRETTY MUCH NOW YOU SEE IT,

[ CHUCKLING ]

NOW YOU DON'T.

[ CHUCKLING ]

Narrator: YEP, REAL TIME...

[ CHUCKLING ]

...IT'S A "BLINK AND YOU MISS IT" MOMENT.

BUT FOR THE HIGH SPEED, YOU SEE A LOT MORE.

...IT'S A "BLINK AND YOU MISS IT" MOMENT.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE THE BLOOM OF DESTRUCTION.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

THE GLASS SHATTERING. THE PLASTIC FLYING.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

Kari: BUT NOW CHECK OUT THE DETAIL YOU CAN SEE

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

WITH THE 6,900 FRAMES PER SECOND.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE SHOCK WAVE MOVING OUT FROM THE CENTER.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

YOU CAN SEE THE TELEVISION PULLING APART

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

AS IT STARTS TO EXPLODE.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

NOT ONLY THAT, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE GASSES EXPANDING

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

AND THEN RUSHING BACK IN

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

TO FILL THE VOID WHERE THEY'VE JUST LEFT.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

THIS IS A MUCH MORE DETAILED COMPLETE STORY OF THE EXPLOSION.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

Narrator: AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH?

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

IT'S THE HIGH SPEED THAT REALLY GIVES THAT DETONATION DETAIL

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

AND IN FULL HIGH DEFINITION.

THIS CAMERA IS RUNNING AT 1,000 FRAMES PER SECOND.

COMING UP ON "MYTHBUSTERS," THE "A" TO "Z" OF BOOMS.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

COMING UP ON "MYTHBUSTERS," THE "A" TO "Z" OF BOOMS.

COMING UP ON "MYTHBUSTERS," THE "A" TO "Z" OF BOOMS.

OH, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

COMING UP ON "MYTHBUSTERS," THE "A" TO "Z" OF BOOMS.

Man: LOCKDOWN!

Narrator: IT'S THE "MYTHBUSTERS" "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIONS.

Man: LOCKDOWN!

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I GOT THE MEMO

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

THAT WE WERE GONNA BE REVISITING IMPLANTS,

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

THIS IS THE LAST THING I PICTURED.

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

YEAH, ME TOO. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

WE'RE HERE TO REMINISCE, SO LET'S REMINISCE.

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

EXPLODING IMPLANTS

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

WAS ONE OF THE FIRST EXPLOSIVE STORIES WE EVER DID.

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

ADAM AND JAMIE TESTED WHETHER BREAST IMPLANTS WOULD EXPLODE

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

ON A PRESSURIZED AIRPLANE.

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

AND DID THEY?

AND FOLLOWING "H" FOR HIGH SPEED, "I" IS FOR IMPLANTS.

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

ALL RIGHT, SHALL WE TAKE IT UP TO LET'S SAY 30,000 FEET?

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

IN WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TIME

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

THAT MEN WERE EVER DISAPPOINTED, WITH IMPLANTS

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

THEIR PADDED POCKETS FAILED TO BLOW.

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

I DIDN'T REALLY NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL.

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

BUT THE MYTHBUSTERS DID LEARN AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

ADAM, HOW ARE THEY DOING? ARE THEY GETTING BIGGER?

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

MY BREASTS ARE EXPANDING. REPEAT.

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

BREASTS ARE EXPANDING.

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

YOU DON'T ALWAYS NEED A BLAST TO HAVE A BLAST.

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

OHH!

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

GOD, THAT -- GOD!

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

NEXT UP, IT'S BACK TO THE BOMB RANGE...

Narrator: WELL, IN A WORD, NO.

...WHERE "J" IS FOR JD.

WHAT I THINK YOU NEED IS THE MYTHBUSTERS' CONCERTO IN C4.

...WHERE "J" IS FOR JD.

IF THERE'S A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE,

...I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME

I DO A RENDER-SAFE PROCEDURE FOR IT.

...I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME

IF SOMEONE'S DOING CONSTRUCTION AND FINDS A MILITARY ORDNANCE,

THEN IT'S MY JOB TO MAKE IT SAFE.

IF SOMEONE'S DOING CONSTRUCTION AND FINDS A MILITARY ORDNANCE,

IT'S PRETTY COOL, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S DANGEROUS.

IF SOMEONE'S DOING CONSTRUCTION AND FINDS A MILITARY ORDNANCE,

IF SOMEONE'S DOING CONSTRUCTION AND FINDS A MILITARY ORDNANCE,

JD'S THE ULTIMATE MASTER BLASTER.

IF SOMEONE'S DOING CONSTRUCTION AND FINDS A MILITARY ORDNANCE,

IT'S THE KITCHEN.

THEY SAY THE KITCHEN IS THE ROOM

AT "MYTHBUSTERS," DEFINITELY TRUE.

THEY SAY THE KITCHEN IS THE ROOM

"L" IS FOR LOUD!

OH, SORRY.

"L" IS FOR LOUD!

EXPLOSIONS ARE SERIOUSLY LOUD.

"L" IS FOR LOUD!

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

THAT WAS A THUD.

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

Jamie: THAT WAS SOMETHING ELSE.

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

BUT SEE, THE PROBLEM IS

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

WE CAN'T SHOW YOU HOW LOUD THESE EXPLOSIONS ARE

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

BECAUSE IF WE PLAYED THEM AT FULL VOLUME,

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

YOU'D PROBABLY BURST YOUR TV SPEAKERS

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

OR AT LEAST DISTORT HORRIBLY.

Adam: WOW. [ LAUGHS ]

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

WE'RE GONNA TURN ON THE LAWN MOWER

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

AND USE THIS DB METER

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW LOUD IT IS.

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

THEN WE'RE GONNA GET A POUND OF C4,

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

PARK THE LAWN MOWER ON TOP OF IT, BLOW IT UP,

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

AND FIND OUT HOW LOUD THE BOOM IS.

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

Narrator: BECAUSE ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS,

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

GRANT FIRES HER UP AND KARI GETS A READING AT GROUND ZERO.

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

ABOUT 90.

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

AND THEN AGAIN 100 FEET AWAY.

Kari: SO WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE TEST.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

YEAH, WE'RE STICKING AT ABOUT 40.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

IT'S NOT EVEN LOUDER THAN THE AMBIENT NOISE AROUND HERE.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

SO WITH THE BASELINES IN THE BAG,

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

THE BOMB TECHS BRACE FOR THE BOOM.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

BUT HOW WILL C4'S CRACK COMPARE?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

OKAY, KARI BYRON, ARE YOU READY?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

I'M READY.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

OKAY, LET'S DO THIS.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

THIS IS "L" IS FOR LOUD

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

IN 3, 2, 1, FIRE.

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

WELL, THE NEAR MIKE GOT MAIMED AND THE FAR ONE MAXED OUT.

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

THAT WAS LOUD.

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

THAT WAS. IN FACT, IT WAS SO LOUD,

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

IT MAXED OUT THE METER.

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

YEAH. I HAD A FEELING THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN.

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

MEANING ALL WE KNOW IS

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

THAT THE DIN WAS AT LEAST 130 DB,

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

MAKING IT LOUDER THAN THE BLAST OF A JET.

IT SURE WAS A ROAR, BUT AS FOR DATA,

MEANWHILE, AS KARI'S ABOUT TO CONFIRM, "M" IS FOR MOVIES.

"M" IS FOR MOVIES.

MEANWHILE, AS KARI'S ABOUT TO CONFIRM, "M" IS FOR MOVIES.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH EXPLOSIONS?

MEANWHILE, AS KARI'S ABOUT TO CONFIRM, "M" IS FOR MOVIES.

WE CAN'T DO A "MYTHBUSTERS" "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIVES

MEANWHILE, AS KARI'S ABOUT TO CONFIRM, "M" IS FOR MOVIES.

WITHOUT TAKING MOVIES TO TASK

MEANWHILE, AS KARI'S ABOUT TO CONFIRM, "M" IS FOR MOVIES.

BECAUSE IF THERE'S ONE THING WE'VE LEARNED ON "MYTHBUSTERS,"

MEANWHILE, AS KARI'S ABOUT TO CONFIRM, "M" IS FOR MOVIES.

IT'S THAT HOLLYWOOD WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE.

MEANWHILE, AS KARI'S ABOUT TO CONFIRM, "M" IS FOR MOVIES.

THERE ARE STILL SO MANY CLASSIC MISTAKES

THAT YOU CAN JUMP OUT OF THE WAY OF AN EXPLOSION.

OR THAT EVERY EXPLOSION HAS TO END IN A FIREBALL,

Tory: OR THERE'S THE IDEA

WHICH IT DOESN'T.

Tory: OR THERE'S THE IDEA

NOT TO SAY MOVIES ALWAYS GET IT WRONG.

Tory: OR THERE'S THE IDEA

NO, I MEAN, WE WERE ABLE TO BLOW UP IN A SAFE

Tory: OR THERE'S THE IDEA

USING WATER AND A CHARGE.

Tory: OR THERE'S THE IDEA

AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE LIQUID NITROGEN

TO SLOW DOWN A BATTERY-TRIGGERED EXPLOSION.

AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO USE LIQUID NITROGEN

YOU KNOW, FOR THE MOST PART, MOVIES SHOULD JUST GET REAL

WHOA! NICE.

BECAUSE EVEN WITHOUT SPECIAL-EFFECTS TRICKERY,

CAN YOU GUYS STOP TALKING?

THAT EXPLOSIVES TECHNICIANS ARE AT THEIR MOST BRAVE.

Narrator: IT'S ALSO WHEN NOTHING HAPPENS

THIS IS LIKE THE WORST EXPERIMENT EVER.

BUT THAT'S WHY THE MYTHBUSTERS USE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

Narrator: IT'S ALSO WHEN NOTHING HAPPENS

I'D SAY A BOMB TECH HAS THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

BUT WHEN NOTHING HAPPENS, THAT'S REALLY WHEN THEY EARN THEIR PAY.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

OH, LOOKS LIKE THAT'S MY PROBLEM.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

Narrator: NEXT IT'S O-VER TO GRANT.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

NOW, ONE OF THE KEY PARTS OF MYTHBUSTING IS DATA.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

I AM TOTALLY PSYCHED ABOUT NUMBERS.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

NOW, EXPLOSIONS ARE NO EXCEPTION.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

BUT USUALLY THE TYPE OF DATA WE'RE TRYING TO GET

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

IS WHETHER A PERSON LIVES OR DIES.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

Kari: WHOA!

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

WELL, THAT WAS DEFINITELY THE DEATH ZONE.

Tory: MOST OF THE TIME,

FOR THAT, OUR FAVORITE TOOL IS THIS,

THE OSECO RUPTURE DISC.

FOR THAT, OUR FAVORITE TOOL IS THIS,

AND THIS IS A CAREFULLY ENGINEERED METAL DISC

FOR THAT, OUR FAVORITE TOOL IS THIS,

THAT'S DESIGNED TO BURST WHEN IT EXPERIENCES A CERTAIN PRESSURE.

FOR THAT, OUR FAVORITE TOOL IS THIS,

DUDES. THE BURST DISC'S TOTALLY INTACT.

NOW, THE BEAUTY PART IS THAT IT'S A BINARY SYSTEM.

DUDES. THE BURST DISC'S TOTALLY INTACT.

THERE'S NO COMPLEX GRAPHS TO INTERPRET.

DUDES. THE BURST DISC'S TOTALLY INTACT.

THERE'S NO NUMBERS TO CRUNCH.

DUDES. THE BURST DISC'S TOTALLY INTACT.

IT'S EITHER NOT BURST OR BURST.

DUDES. THE BURST DISC'S TOTALLY INTACT.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE AND YOU GET YOUR ANSWER RIGHT AWAY.

DUDES. THE BURST DISC'S TOTALLY INTACT.

Narrator: SIMPLE AND QUICK.

JUST THE WAY THE MYTHBUSTERS LIKE IT.

THAT'S AWESOME. I LOVE RESULTS.

JUST THE WAY THE MYTHBUSTERS LIKE IT.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE BUNKER, KARI'S FEELING THE PRESSURE.

JUST THE WAY THE MYTHBUSTERS LIKE IT.

BACK WHEN WE WERE ON THE LETTER "E,"

JUST THE WAY THE MYTHBUSTERS LIKE IT.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF EXPLOSIONS,

JUST THE WAY THE MYTHBUSTERS LIKE IT.

WHERE WE CONCENTRATED ON CHEMICAL EXPLOSIONS.

JUST THE WAY THE MYTHBUSTERS LIKE IT.

LOVELY.

BUT THERE'S ANOTHER KIND OF EXPLOSION.

LOVELY.

PRESSURE VESSELS.

LOVELY.

NOW, WE DO THESE A LOT ON "MYTHBUSTERS,"

LOVELY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO ONE RIGHT NOW.

LOVELY.

Narrator: AND FOR THAT, THEY NEED THREE THINGS --

LOVELY.

A PRESSURE VESSEL, A HEAT SOURCE,

LOVELY.

AND A "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME" WARNING.

LOVELY.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

IS A MECHANICAL EXPLOSION.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

AND THE WAY IT HAPPENS IS YOU TAKE A SEALED VESSEL

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

AND YOU INCREASE THE PRESSURE INSIDE OF IT TO THE POINT

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

WHERE THE VESSEL CAN NO LONGER HOLD THAT PRESSURE.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

WHEN IT RUPTURES, IT CREATES AN EXPLOSION.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

WE HAVE NEVER DONE A CAN OF SHAVING CREAM.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

Narrator: UNTIL NOW.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

YOU KNOW WHAT MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT PRESSURE VESSELS ARE?

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

WAITING FOR THE BOOM.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

YOU NEVER KNOW QUITE WHEN THEY'RE GONNA GO OFF.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

I LOVE THAT.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

BY MY CALCULATION,

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

IT SHOULD EXPLODE IN 3, 2, 1.

Tory: A PRESSURE VESSEL EXPLOSION

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

MAGIC.

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

OH, MY GOD, IT WENT EVERYWHERE.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

"Q" IS FOR QUAGMIRE.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

THE ONE DISADVANTAGE OF WORKING AT THE BOMB RANGE

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

IS THAT WHEN IT RAINS,

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

IT BECOMES A HORRENDOUS PLACE TO WORK.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

AND IT RAINS A LOT.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

Narrator: KARI'S RIGHT.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

"GAS CANISTER ROCKET" WAS A DELUGE DISASTER.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

I THOUGHT THE DANGEROUS PART

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

WAS GONNA BE THE EXPLODING PROPANE TANKS.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

YOU ALL RIGHT? OH, NO.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

"SOUNDS BOGUS" WAS A SEASONAL MONSOON.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

Kari: ALTHOUGH I LOVE THE BOMB RANGE,

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

I DON'T LOVE IT SO MUCH WHEN IT RAINS.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

THE MUD IS BASICALLY CLAY.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

WHEN YOU WALK AROUND, YOU GET STUCK.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

WHEN YOU DRIVE AROUND, YOU GET STUCK.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

DO YOU THINK WE GOT AWAY WITH THAT ONE?

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

Q's ARE REALLY HARD.

Narrator: NEXT UP, TIME TO JOIN THE QUEUE.

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

[ EXPLOSION ]

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

...MORE THAN THE MYTHBUSTERS.

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

BUT IN THEIR EXPLOSIVE ENCYCLOPEDIA,

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

"R," SOMEWHAT SURPRISINGLY, STANDS FOR ROCKETS.

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

AND THAT'S SURPRISING BECAUSE TECHNICALLY,

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

ROCKETS ARE NOT EXPLOSIVES.

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

BUT THIS BEING "MYTHBUSTERS," THINGS CAN AND DO GO WRONG.

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

THAT'S WHY OUR ROCKETS TURN INTO EXPLOSIVES SOMETIMES.

Narrator: NO ONE LIKES A GOOD BANG...

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

WATCH OUT!

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

...HAVE FLOWN STRAIGHT AND TRUE.

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE.

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

FIRST THERE WAS THE SALAMI ROCKET.

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

I'M MAKING A ROCKET OUT OF MEAT.

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

Narrator: WHICH WAS LESS MEAT MISSILE

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

AND MORE BALONEY BOMB.

TO BE FAIR, MOST MYTHBUSTERS' ROCKETS...

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

IT'S TIME TO INSTALL THE ROCKETS.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

Narrator: THE "JATO ROCKET CAR" REVISIT.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

THE GOAL OF THE EXPERIMENT WAS TO GET A '67 IMPALA TO FLY.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

SO ADAM AND JAMIE SPENT UPWARDS OF $20,000

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

ON SUPER-SIZE ROCKETS,

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB DONE.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

Narrator: GRANT'S RIGHT.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

THESE ROCKETS HAD POWER A PLENTY.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

Adam: IT'S GOOD. IT'S ON THE HOOK.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

MOVING WELL. HERE IT GOES. IT'S HEADING TOWARDS THE RAMP.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

Narrator: BUT WITH THAT POWER CAME NO RESPONSIBILITY.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOST EPIC ROCKET FAIL.

OR NOT.

SO WE BUILT A BIG ROLLING BOMB INSTEAD OF A ROCKET.

OR NOT.

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

[ LAUGHTER ]

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

I THINK SOMEONE OWES ME 10,000 BUCKS.

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

Grant: NOW, IT TURNS OUT THERE WAS A GLITCH,

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

WHICH MEANT THAT THRUST COULDN'T ESCAPE FAST ENOUGH

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

AND THAT MEANT...

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

Tory: THE MOST EPIC

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

OF EPIC FAILURES IN THE HISTORY OF "MYTHBUSTERS"

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

AND ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR EXPLOSIONS EVER.

DO WE GET OUR MONEY BACK?

Narrator: WITH "R" DEFINED BY A MENACING MISHAP,

"S" IS FOR OUR NUMBER-ONE PRIORITY -- SAFETY.

Narrator: WITH "R" DEFINED BY A MENACING MISHAP,

Grant: NOW, PEOPLE OFTEN ASSUME THAT EXPLOSIONS

Narrator: WITH "R" DEFINED BY A MENACING MISHAP,

ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS THING THAT WE DO ON OUR SHOW,

Narrator: WITH "R" DEFINED BY A MENACING MISHAP,

BUT, IN FACT, THEY'RE SOME OF THE SAFEST THINGS WE DO.

Narrator: WITH "R" DEFINED BY A MENACING MISHAP,

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

AND A STRICT SET OF SAFETY PROTOCOLS

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

THAT WE FOLLOW.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T GET SCARY SOMETIMES.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

LIKE THE TIME I CARRIED A BAG FULL OF EXPLOSIVE GAS

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

IN A BOMB SUIT JUST LIKE THIS.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

Narrator: IN A SCENE THAT'S NEVER AIRED UNTIL NOW...

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA START FILLING IT.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

Narrator: ...A SUITED-FOR-SAFETY TORY

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

ONCE CARRIED A BUBBLE OF TROUBLE...

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

Tory: THIS ISN'T TOO DANGEROUS, RIGHT?

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

Narrator: ...KNOWING THAT ONE SMALL SPARK

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

COULD SPELL DISASTER.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

SUDDENLY I WISH I WERE WEARING A BOMB SUIT, TOO.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

ALL RIGHT, ARE YOU GUYS READY

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

TO SEE WHAT THIS BAG OF GAS IS CAPABLE OF?

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

HERE WE GO. CAMERA READY?

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

Man: SET. OKAY.

BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ARRAY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR

WHOA!

HOLY MOLY.

Narrator: SO, UNLIKE YOU'D THINK,

HOLY MOLY.

EXPLOSIONS AREN'T NECESSARILY FRAUGHT WITH DANGER,

HOLY MOLY.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM RISK-FREE.

HOLY MOLY.

IRONICALLY THE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT

HOLY MOLY.

THAT HAS CAUSED THE MOST SERIOUS INJURIES ON THE SHOW

HOLY MOLY.

ARE THESE SAFETY BALLISTIC SHIELDS.

HOLY MOLY.

THEY ARE OVER 200 POUNDS A PIECE.

HOLY MOLY.

THEY'VE CRUSHED A COUPLE OF FINGERS

HOLY MOLY.

AND DEFINITELY PUT OUT A FEW BACKS.

HOLY MOLY.

BUT STILL MUCH BETTER THAN GETTING BLOWN UP.

HOLY MOLY.

Narrator: MEANWHILE, "T" IS FOR TOILET.

HOLY MOLY.

WHEW!

HOLY MOLY.

NOW, THE KITCHEN ISN'T THE ONLY DANGEROUS PLACE

HOLY MOLY.

HERE ON "MYTHBUSTERS."

HOLY MOLY.

THE BATHROOM CAN BE JUST AS DANGEROUS.

HOLY MOLY.

WHY? BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A TOILET MIGHT EXPLODE.

HOLY MOLY.

Narrator: WITH AN UNSAVORY SUBJECT MATTER...

HOLY MOLY.

THIS OUGHT TO CLEAN OUT THE PIPES.

HOLY MOLY.

Narrator: ...LET'S NOT HANG AROUND.

HOLY MOLY.

WHETHER IT BE THANKS TO C4.

Jamie: WOW.

OH HO HO!

Jamie: WOW.

...BLACK POWDER...

...OR EVEN ALKALINE METALS.

Kari: THE MAYOR OF RUBIDIUM TOWN. 3, 2, 1.

...OR EVEN ALKALINE METALS.

Narrator: THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH LOO LUNACY

ON "MYTHBUSTERS."

Narrator: THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH LOO LUNACY

NEXT, "U" IS NOT FOR U-BEND BUT FOR UNDERGROUND.

RIGHT NOW I'M BURYING A FIRECRACKER.

NEXT, "U" IS NOT FOR U-BEND BUT FOR UNDERGROUND.

WHY? BECAUSE I LOVE UNDERGROUND EXPLOSIONS.

NEXT, "U" IS NOT FOR U-BEND BUT FOR UNDERGROUND.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S JUST MORE OF AN ANTICIPATION,

NEXT, "U" IS NOT FOR U-BEND BUT FOR UNDERGROUND.

BUT THEY JUST SEEM TO BE A LOT MORE FUN.

NEXT, "U" IS NOT FOR U-BEND BUT FOR UNDERGROUND.

Narrator: BE THEY GOLFING GAGS...

NEXT, "U" IS NOT FOR U-BEND BUT FOR UNDERGROUND.

THAT WAS AWESOME!

...DRAIN DISASTERS...

THAT WAS AWESOME!

ALL RIGHT, SEWER EXPLOSION, 3, 2, 1.

THAT WAS AWESOME!

[ SCREAMS ]

THAT WAS INSANE.

[ SCREAMS ]

...OR SIMPLY MOVIE MADNESS.

[ SCREAMS ]

FIRING 4 POUNDS OF ANFO IN 3, 2, 1.

[ SCREAMS ]

[ LAUGHS ]

OH, HO.

[ LAUGHS ]

YEAH, I SAW IT GO ALL THE WAY UP THE HILL THERE.

[ LAUGHS ]

HO! [ LAUGHING ]

[ LAUGHS ]

THE UNDERGROUND BOOM

[ LAUGHS ]

IS SOMETHING WORTH SEEING AGAIN AND AGAIN.

[ LAUGHS ]

SO IT'S BACK TO KARI.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND NOW FOR A COMPLETELY GRATUITOUS EXPLOSION.

UNDERGROUND.

AND NOW FOR A COMPLETELY GRATUITOUS EXPLOSION.

IN 3, 2, 1.

AND NOW FOR A COMPLETELY GRATUITOUS EXPLOSION.

WELL, THAT WAS A NICE LITTLE THUD.

Narrator: "B" WAS FOR BOMB RANGE. "A" WAS FOR AUDIT.

"N" WAS FOR NOTHING.

Narrator: "B" WAS FOR BOMB RANGE. "A" WAS FOR AUDIT.

FIRE. UH-OH.

Narrator: "B" WAS FOR BOMB RANGE. "A" WAS FOR AUDIT.

Narrator: AND "G" WAS FOR GRENADE.

Narrator: "B" WAS FOR BOMB RANGE. "A" WAS FOR AUDIT.

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

AND THE BANGS CONTINUE RIGHT NOW.

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

UH-OH.

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

ALL RIGHT. NOW, I KNOW ALL THIS

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF AUTOMOTIVE JUNK,

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY WHAT'S LEFT OVER FROM A CAR WE EXPLODED.

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

SO I'M GUESSING "V" IS FOR VEHICLE.

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

EXACTLY. NOW, WE HAVE PROBABLY TOTALED

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

AROUND 130 VEHICLES ON THIS SHOW.

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

A LOT OF THEM, WE'VE CRASHED.

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

SOME WE'VE DESTROYED WITH THE ROCKET SLED

AT NEW MEXICO TECH.

SOME WE'VE DESTROYED WITH THE ROCKET SLED

BUT A LOT OF THEM, WE'VE BLOWN UP.

SHALL WE ROLL THE MONTAGE?

BUT A LOT OF THEM, WE'VE BLOWN UP.

Narrator: INDEED WE SHALL.

BUT A LOT OF THEM, WE'VE BLOWN UP.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

Grant: NOW, WATER AND EXPLOSIVES ARE A PARTICULARLY GOOD MIX

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

FOR "MYTHBUSTERS" FOR TWO REASONS.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

FIRST, WATER AND AIR HAVE VERY DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

FOR EXAMPLE, WATER IS INCOMPRESSIBLE.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

IT'S DENSER THAN AIR. IT'S MORE CONDUCTIVE.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

AND ALL THIS MEANS

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

THAT EXPLOSIONS TRAVEL DIFFERENTLY THROUGH WATER

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

THAN THEY DO THROUGH AIR.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

Narrator: INDEED, BY BEING INCOMPRESSIBLE...

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

GO FOR IT.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

...WATER IS A GREAT WAY TO HELP CRACK A SAFE.

NEXT UP IS "W" -- A LETTER THAT'S ALL ABOUT H2O.

AND THE WAY ITS DENSITY DIFFERS FROM AIR...

EVERYTHING'S IN. IT LOOKS GREAT.

AND THE WAY ITS DENSITY DIFFERS FROM AIR...

...HAS LED TO MANY A LAGOON BOOM.

AND THE WAY ITS DENSITY DIFFERS FROM AIR...

50 POUNDS OF ANFO IN 3, 2, 1.

AND THE WAY ITS DENSITY DIFFERS FROM AIR...

BYE, BYE.

AND THE WAY ITS DENSITY DIFFERS FROM AIR...

WOW.

AND THE WAY ITS DENSITY DIFFERS FROM AIR...

BUT WHAT'S GRANT'S OTHER REASON FOR LOVING THIS LIQUID?

AND THE SECOND REASON IS THAT

BUT WHAT'S GRANT'S OTHER REASON FOR LOVING THIS LIQUID?

EXPLOSIONS ON HIGH SPEED WITH WATER LOOK REALLY COOL.

BUT WHAT'S GRANT'S OTHER REASON FOR LOVING THIS LIQUID?

Narrator: AND TO PROVE JUST THAT, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.

BUT WHAT'S GRANT'S OTHER REASON FOR LOVING THIS LIQUID?

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

Narrator: WITH "W" ALL WASHED UP,

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

NEXT UP, IT'S TWO LETTERS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE,

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

WHERE "X" IS NOTHING IF NOT PREDICTABLE.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

♪ GO, JD, GO, JD ♪

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

♪ FILL THE XYLOPHONE WITH TNT ♪

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

WELL, WE'VE MOVED ONTO THE LETTER "X," AND LET'S FACE IT.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BLOW UP AN X-RAY,

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

SO WE'VE GONE THE CHEAP ROUTE IN BLOWING UP SOME XYLOPHONES.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

WHY DO WE HATE INSTRUMENTS? BECAUSE WE CAN'T PLAY THEM.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

Narrator: BUT "X" IS NOT FLYING SOLO.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

WE'RE ALSO GONNA THROW A "Y" IN HERE

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

BECAUSE "Y" IS FOR YELLING!

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

WHETHER IT'S ME OR ADAM...

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

...OR JD...

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

Kari: OR FRANK.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

IT'S ALWAYS YELLED THREE TIMES

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

AND IN THREE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

BUT EVERY TIME IT'S YELLED,

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

IT DEFINITELY MEANS SOMETHING EXCITING IS GONNA HAPPEN.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

Tory: ALL RIGHT, THIS IS "X" FOR XYLOPHONE

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

BECAUSE, WELL, IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

TO BLOW UP AN X-RAY MACHINE.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

ARE YOU GUYS READY?

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

YES. READY.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

IN 3, 2, 1. FIRE.

Grant: AND THAT IS AN EXPLOSION IN WATER.

OH, WOW!

Narrator: AH, LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS.

WHOO!

I CALL THIS PIECE "EXPLOSION 753."

Narrator: FROM "A" FOR AUDIT...

I CALL THIS PIECE "EXPLOSION 753."

...TO "Y" FOR YELLING...

OH, WOW!

...AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN...

OH, WOW!

...THE "MYTHBUSTERS" "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIONS

HAS BEEN A BLAST.

...THE "MYTHBUSTERS" "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIONS

[ ALL CHEERING ]

...THE "MYTHBUSTERS" "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIONS

Narrator: AND WITH JUST ONE LETTER LEFT,

...THE "MYTHBUSTERS" "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIONS

YOU MIGHT SAY THAT THE GUYS ARE GOING TO END WITH A BANG.

...THE "MYTHBUSTERS" "A" TO "Z" OF EXPLOSIONS

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

NEXT WE'RE GONNA BE BLOWING UP A ZEBRA, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

NO, "Z" IS FOR ZENITH, THE PINNACLE.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION IN "MYTHBUSTERS" HISTORY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

WHICH WOULD BE THE BLAST FROM HOME-MADE DIAMONDS.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

YEAH, THAT WAS THE EPISODE

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

WHERE WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE DIAMONDS.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

IN ONE OF THEM, IT INVOLVED USING EXPLOSIVES.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

Narrator: YEP, WHEN MICROWAVING PEANUT BUTTER

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

DIDN'T SPRING ANY BLING...

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

I'M STARTING TO GET THE IDEA

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

THAT THIS SHOULDN'T BE DONE INSIDE.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

Narrator: ...THE MYTHBUSTERS

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

TURNED TO A GIRL'S SECOND-BEST FRIEND,

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

EXPLOSIVES.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

Tory: THIS FEELS GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

THEY STARTED BIG...

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

BUT ENDED ENORMOUS... WITH 5,000 POUNDS OF ANFO.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

CHARGING. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ZERO.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF "X" IS ANY INDICATION,

[ CHEERING ]

LOOK AT THAT!

[ CHEERING ]

THAT WAS AWESOME!

[ CHEERING ]

GIVEN THAT THAT'S THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION WE'VE EVER DONE,

WHY ISN'T IT THE FAN FAVORITE?

GIVEN THAT THAT'S THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION WE'VE EVER DONE,

WELL, UNLIKE THE CEMENT TRUCK, WHICH WAS THERE AND GONE...

GIVEN THAT THAT'S THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION WE'VE EVER DONE,

WELL, THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM.

GIVEN THAT THAT'S THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION WE'VE EVER DONE,

...WE REALLY ARE JUST LOOKING AT A BIG, GIANT TUBE.

GIVEN THAT THAT'S THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION WE'VE EVER DONE,

YEAH, THERE'S REALLY NOTHING IN IT TO GIVE YOU SCALE.

I MEAN, WHEN THE EXPLOSION WENT OFF...

YEAH, THERE'S REALLY NOTHING IN IT TO GIVE YOU SCALE.

...WHICH WAS FIVE TIMES BIGGER THAN THE CEMENT TRUCK,

YOU COULDN'T TELL HOW BIG IT WAS.

...WHICH WAS FIVE TIMES BIGGER THAN THE CEMENT TRUCK,

YEAH, BUT UNLIKE THE CEMENT TRUCK,

WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN AMAZING HIGH SPEED,

YEAH, BUT UNLIKE THE CEMENT TRUCK,

THAT JUST SHOWS THE SHOCK WAVE MOVING.

YEAH, BUT UNLIKE THE CEMENT TRUCK,

ALL RIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH.

THERE'S JUST ONE MORE THING THAT BOTHERS ME, THOUGH.

ALL RIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH.

WHAT'S THAT?

ALL RIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH.

HOW ARE WE EVER GONNA TOP IT?

ALL RIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH.

OH, WE'LL FIGURE OUT A WAY.

ALL RIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH.
