[upbeat music playing]

[Tory] This car says luxury to me.

A 1981 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz.

You know who likes luxury?

Mobsters.

Uh, this is gonna be fun.

This myth has my name written all over it.

I think we got ways to go.

[dramatic music playing]

[singer] ♪ Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

[car revving]

[narrator] Meet the team.

We'll be at work in no time.

This might be the miracle coolant

that everybody's been searching for.

Oh.

[narrator] With the mechanical expertise.

[Faye] My main concern is structural integrity.

I think this is gonna work.

[narrator] To test all things automotive.

-That was beautiful. -The more air we push through,

the more fuel siphoned out.

-And boom. -Wow.

[narrator] This is Motor Mythbusters.

This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

[narrator] Where science meets the streets.

[upbeat music playing]

-Oh. -God, this thing weighs a ton.

We're gonna need some momentum.

What is this?

-This is luxury. -[Faye] What?

[Tory] It's a Cadillac Eldorado 1981.

Look at the leather interior. I mean, this is what

a mobster would drive in the 80's.

What's interesting is that it had a 864 engine in 1981.

That was very unique. And you're laughing

because you probably know something I know.

Yeah, well, it could go from

a six-cylinder to an eight-cylinder

down to a four-cylinder.

And it was supposed to be like fuel efficient.

But it just caused so many problems

that they just left it in eight-cylinder.

Well, there is a method to the madness

and there was a plan for that.

He's gonna get real nerdy on us

-with the engine. -[Faye] Oh.

Oh, this is a heavy hood.

This was an engine that was ahead of its time.

So you think about the time when this car came out,

we're still dealing with a bit of an oil crisis.

And the fuel economy was something

that was embraced heavily.

The guys from Cadillac thought

maybe it'd be an engineering marvel

and an advantage to deactivate two cylinders

and another two cylinders to make this act like

a four cylinder at times,

especially in coasting and when cruising.

And so they used solenoid to lock

the rocker arms of the cylinders

to prevent any type of gas coming in or out.

So you can imagine the intake and exhaust valve

not being actuated, they kept the pressure in.

So the engine, they kept pressurizing

the empty cylinders constantly.

You just think about, like, all the power you're gonna lose.

-Well, that was the goal. -That's what I'm thinking.

-Less power? -Yeah.

-Less fuel. -More economy, less fuel.

-Less fuel. -More economy.

-[Faye] Yeah. -It was a good concept.

-Was it though? -Well, I mean,

-they were trying to do the right thing. -Yeah.

Shall we check out the rest of the car?

-Sure. -Sure.

[Tory] I'll show you the dead body in the back.

I just wanna make sure this isn't a gangster's.

All right. Look at this.

-Oh, there's Jimmy Hoffa. -[Bisi laughs]

[Faye] What's that weird little motor?

[Tory] Oh, look at that.

The soft close feature.

[Tory] You open it up.

You put the dead body in the back.

[Bisi] That's a great way to respect the dead.

[Tory] That's gangster.

Not only that, you can do it quietly

so no one hears you slamming the trunk, you know.

-Oh. -Oh, that's good.

[Tory] If this car could talk, the stories it would have...

This looks like actually some crazy,

like, chairs I would find at,

like, my grandfather's basement.

[Bisi] You know, you think about mob bosses

and being swanky, this was it.

Yeah. You ever seen the movie Casino?

Oh, I love that movie.

Casino? No, I haven't seen it.

-You haven't seen Casino? -[Faye] Of course.

Big shocker. All right.

Well, it's a gangster movie.

-It's based on a true story. -Good.

And Robert De Niro plays this guy, Ace Rothstein.

He works for the mob. And the mob

tried to take him out by using a car bomb.

[explodes]

[Tory] He's in the car, the bomb goes off.

But he says this particular model

and year had an extra steel plate

under the driver's seat,

and that's what saved his life.

That is the myth that we're gonna test.

[narrator] According to the movie, the 1981 Cadillac Eldorado

came complete with a blast proof plate.

Convenient coincidence or manufacturers marvel?

Either way, could bolstering a car's undercarriage

with a steel plate actually defend

against a mobster's car bomb?

[Faye] That's weird, there's, like, this one year

of this car had that extra steel plate.

[Bisi] It could be an engineering mistake

that they're trying to correct

or rumor has it that they try to

-balance out the chassis by doing that. -Right.

Since this is the exact car.

-I say we start by pulling the seat out. -[Bisi] Mmm-hmm.

[Tory] See if that plate is even there.

Good call. Can you get to him from here?

[Tory] I'm trying to.

Now, I am super excited about this one.

-All right. Clear. -Oh.

[Tory] Because I'm a big fan of gangster movies

and because I like explosions.

And this has both.

Well, on first inspection, I don't see a big steel plate.

[Bisi] Yeah, I concur.

Do it.

I mean, if you're a gangster

and you knew the driver's seat was here, right?

You would place the explosive device under here.

-I hear a different pitch. -Yeah, me too.

-We should drill through this. -We definitely should.

-[Bisi] Yeah. -I like the idea.

And to be able to find out where we should drill,

I think I should bring the car down.

-Yeah, and then go... -And then go from inside.

-Right. So to be sure. -Right over the seat.

-Exactly. -All right.

All right.

The seat would be right here.

-[Faye] Mmm-hmm. -[Bisi] Yes.

And as I feel around it,

I don't... I don't feel...

-It feels quite thin. -Yeah.

So does this and so does this.

What if we did a hole here, a hole here,

and then a hole here?

[machine whirring]

But so far, that looks like a single sheet.

[Tory] No, it is. Yeah. Hundred percent.

-And you see the drill bit, right? -[Faye] Yup.

-[Bisi] Yes. -Okay.

-[Faye] Drill bit. -[Bisi] Yup.

Well, as you can see, there's no steel plate.

So this part of the myth is looking busted.

But something saved his life from the bomb.

Yeah, there has to be a reason why

Robert De Niro's character survived that blast.

-Yeah. -[Bisi] What do you think, Faye?

Uh, well, I just checked the VIN and the build date.

I'm thinking that maybe I'm just gonna check

like some online service records

and see if there actually was an update

done to this vehicle to this year.

[Tory] Mmm-hmm.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Faye] Check this out. -[Tory] Mmm-hmm.

So this is an actual service bulletin

from Cadillac corporate to their dealerships.

There actually was a suspension recall

from 1980 to the 1981 model year.

However, all that it was

these upper control arm nuts

-came loose... -[Bisi] Oh.

...in that one model year. So...

So there was no mention

of like a steel plate to balance out...

-No. -...the suspension?

And in fact, I went and checked out exactly

what was required of this technical service bulletin.

And all that it was, was replacing the nuts.

-[Bisi] Yeah. -[Tory] There was never a steel plate?

-[Faye] Absolutely. Yeah. -[Tory] Cool.

-Just nuts. -Nothing but nuts.

[upbeat music playing]

[Tory] Okay. The steel plate wasn't factory.

But we're testing the movie myth.

And De Niro's character said

that there was one in his Caddy.

So to replicate the film

and test if we can bombproof the car,

we're installing our own one quarter inch steel plate.

By welding it to the chassis directly beneath the driver's seat,

it's right where the movie said it was.

And since we don't wanna be anywhere

near the Eldorado when we blow it sky high...

[Bisi] All right. Look at that beauty.

[Tory] ...Bisi and Davis, our resident electronics guru

are putting together a remote control system.

[Davis] So this is our rotary encoder pins

and our ground.

[Tory] So with the push of a button

from a safe distance, we can turn the ignition key

and trigger the car bomb.

[engine starts]

Well, we've got a working servo mechanism.

I think we're ready to blow up this car.

-Beautiful. -All right.

[tense music playing]

[Tory] To test this myth, we're in the middle of nowhere.

It's a secret location. And for good reason,

because we're gonna be blowing stuff up.

Now our good friend, Bob Epps,

a bomb technician is going to help us do that safely.

But more importantly, he has some insight

to what may have happened in this myth.

So, Bob, we're looking at the myth from the movie Casino.

-The Cadillac blows up. -Yup.

He survives the blast

and he says it's because of a steel plate

under his seat that he actually survived.

-I've heard that. -You've heard the story?

-Yeah. -What type of explosives

did you think the mob would've used to set up a car bomb?

In that area, there's a lot of mining.

And they do use dynamite for that.

It would've been very easy for the mob to buy

or maybe illegally acquire

-a few sticks of dynamite. -Or steal?

-Yeah. -[laughter]

-Or maybe just take it. -You're a gangster.

-Yeah. -You're not buying stuff.

If you're a mobster, where would you place the explosives?

[Bob] I would want the explosives as close

or right under where I thought

the intended person was gonna sit.

[Tory] So we bought a Cadillac Eldorado,

same year, same model.

And we stripped it down and it turns out

there was no steel plate underneath the driver's seat.

That was a big part of his story.

But now we wanna see

if you did have a steel plate in there,

would it be enough to save your life from an explosion?

-So you got a car... -Yup.

...and you put a steel plate in it.

I'm thinking you want me

to hook you up with some dynamite?

-That's why... -Let's do it.

-That's why we came here. -[laughter]

So you have the remote system?

[Bisi] Yes, we just need to install it.

Rig everything up properly and get going.

Is this like your first experience

-with high explosives? -Oh, yeah.

This is... This is my first time.

The most I've seen is like an M-80 firecracker

for, like, 4th July.

-You guys are in for a treat. -Oh.

-You'll never get used to it. -You see I'm smiling.

-My cheeks are hurting -already. Yeah. It's...

-In anticipation. -It's the adrenaline.

It's unbelievable.

All right. Say goodbye to the car.

[Bisi] Bye, Cadi.

-It's kind of hard. -I kind of wonder...

Yeah, I feel bad for it.

[Tory] We are all set to test this myth.

I am super fired up.

Bob studied the scene in the movie

and he's using his experience

to rig the right amount of dynamite

to replicate that explosion for us.

Once connected to the ignition, mobster style,

we can press the button.

Then we'll be able to analyze the aftermath

and determine whether the driver's side steel plate

is enough protection to save your life from a car bomb.

I'm excited to see how Bisi and Faye react.

You never forget your first time.

[upbeat music playing]

All right. Starting the car.

In three, two, one.

-[explodes] -[Bisi] Oh.

[Tory laughing]

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my God.

[upbeat music playing]

[explodes]

-[Tory] What do you guys think? -[Bisi] Oh, my God.

-Yeah. No way... -[Faye] Oh, yeah.

No way someone survived that.

Oh, my God. Look at it. Look at it.

-Oh, my gosh. -There's no vehicle left.

-That is crazy. -[Tory] That was... That was awesome.

-[Faye] Whoa. -[Tory] That shockwave is actually pushing the air.

[Faye] Oh, my God. That was crazy.

[Tory] So that bubble you see.

[Bisi] Look at the windshield.

[Faye] Well, look at, like, the shockwave.

What would that do to a person's body?

[Tory] Uh, it would make them go deaf.

And then if you're close enough,

it will actually kill you.

[explosion]

[Tory] All that energy is going straight through the floor.

Car flips up on its nose and then comes back down.

-That's how much power this blast had. -[Bisi] Wow.

Wow. Look at the metals mangled.

It's crazy. It doesn't even resemble a proper car anymore.

It looks like an onion just exploded on top.

-[Faye] Oh, my God. -Tory, it's like a yard sale.

[Faye] Oh, the steering wheel.

-Oh, my God. -[Bisi] Whoa.

[Bob] The whole car got ripped.

-[Faye] Wow. -[Tory] Look at the steel plate.

-[Bisi] Oh, my goodness. -Holy crap.

-That's the steel plate? -It's come through the roof.

-Oh, my God. Oh, my God. -It's like an ejection seat.

[Faye] All right.

So what do you guys think,

having a steel plate is not gonna save your life?

Absolutely not.

No. No. I mean, look at it.

It'd be more of a liability than anything. Wow.

[Tory] So, like, I feel like you picked the exact amount

of explosives and the perfect type.

-[Faye] It really looks like the movie. -[Bisi] Yeah.

[Faye] It looks like the pictures in the movie.

I feel like we really did a really good job recreating this.

[Tory] Yeah. He survived,

but it wasn't because of the steel plate.

-[Bisi] Nope. -[Faye] Yeah.

What would it take for someone to survive

a blast of this magnitude?

Are you saying maybe we can make

some kind of bombproof underlaying?

[Bisi] We now know a steel plate alone wasn't enough

to save Robert De Niro's character in Casino.

But he did survive the blast.

So we need to come up with a way

to reinforce the steel plate

and test if there's any way

this movie myth is plausible.

I like this, end of the world mobile, down.

I think we need to go back to shop

and choose some materials that could survive.

You know, the steel plate went haywire

but it may be a good choice to combine that

-and some other materials. -I like it.

Are you saying I need to order more dynamite?

-Always. The answer to that... -[Faye] Yes.

-...is always yes. -Done.

[Tory] Bob, nice work.

-[Faye] Seriously. -[Tory] Thanks, dude.

Another day in the office for a bomb guy.

[Tory] Right.

[upbeat music playing]

[Bisi] This is memory foam.

-[Tory] Oh, that may work. -[Bisi] Yeah.

[Tory] To see if we can replicate the survival scenario,

we'll need another Cadillac.

So Faye's searching the web

for one that's destined for the scrap yard,

while Bisi and I work on finding the best combination

of known bombproofing materials and techniques.

So this was giving me an idea.

This is a helmet from a bomb suit.

-Wow. -[Tory] It's like a race helmet.

[Bisi] This is the weirdest looking race helmet I've ever seen.

Except that it'll stop frag from killing you.

Okay. Let's see. Let's see here.

Oh, fits me. It quite fits.

See? Look at that.

Wow, this is pretty...

-[Tory] Yeah. -That is thick. It smells funny.

Oh, yeah. Because when you're defusing bombs,

-you're sweating a lot. -Oh, yeah.

What is this material?

So it's built of a few different materials.

-There's Kevlar... -Yeah.

-Uh-huh. -...plastic, and foam.

And so I was thinking,

what if we took similar materials

and we created our own underlayment

underneath the car to make the driver's seat bombproof.

That sounds good. These materials

individually can withstand some blast,

-but when combined nicely... -Yeah.

If you had a chance to make your seat bombproof,

-what would you do? -I would do

-what you typically see in a movie... -Okay.

...where someone would jump into a bathtub

or cover themselves with a bathtub.

-Like a cast iron tub. -Yeah. Pretty much.

Yeah. That's cool.

Yeah. What would you do?

I was watching this documentary

and this guy, he armored a tractor.

What he did is he built these steel,

like, boxes and then filled them with concrete.

So what I was gonna do is do a couple pieces of steel

and then a couple of pieces of the concrete-infused board.

-Oh, that works. -Should we start building?

Absolutely.

[Tory] Before we attempt the bombproof our second car,

we need to conduct some small-scale test.

We went around the shop, collected all different types of materials

that we think might mitigate a blast.

And now, we're just gonna figure out

what the right combination is.

[Bisi] You know, Tory, where I'm from,

our tubs have iron in the middle

-and porcelain on both sides. -Oh, really?

-Yeah. -[Tory] Do porcelain on both sides.

-Yeah. Okay. -[Tory] Why not?

[Bisi] So you have multiple layers of concrete, I see.

[Tory] And three layers of concrete

-and then two layers of steel. -[Bisi] Uh-huh.

It looked like the helmet has foam, plastic,

and Kevlar, so we have this nylon,

almost sandwich it with the Kevlar.

We'll see if this works. Fingers crossed.

[Tory] Okay. So it's time for a small-scale test

to determine which combination of materials

has the most potential to mitigate the explosion

we saw in the Casino movie car bomb.

So what do we have?

Well, starting over here in the right,

a sandwich consisting of ceramic

and steel in between.

And the good thing about ceramics

is that just like with body armor,

it can shatter, absorbing a lot of energy.

This sandwich here, it's two pieces of steel,

but inside, there is concrete-infused board.

[Faye] Okay. All right.

And, Faye, over there is my personal favorite.

It consists of outer layers of ballistic nylon,

some foam to absorb a lot of energy,

and that little white piece right there...

-Yeah. -...is high density polyethylene.

[Tory] These are similar materials that you would find

-in a bomb suit. -[Faye] Mmm-hmm.

Why don't we get some explosives...

-Oh, yeah. -...and see which one does better?

Awesome.

[Faye] The test plates are secured to three steel pans

to replicate the car's undercarriage.

Strapped beneath each is a mini dynamite stick,

equivalent to about 10% of what we use

in the full-scale car explosion.

[Tory] Fire in the hole.

Fire in the hole.

-I like that. -All right.

-Okay. Okay. -Whenever you're ready.

All right. Okay. Okay, guys.

-Okay. -Count it down.

Three, two, one, go.

[laughter]

-Oh, my goodness. -Woo.

-That was crazy. -Oh, that was the foam.

[Tory] All right. Let's go see how they did.

[upbeat music playing]

-That was a good boom. -That was a proper blast.

[explosion]

-[Tory] Hah. -[Bisi] Look at that.

Oh, my... Oh, look at the pan.

-But it... But it didn't go through. -It did not.

-Oh. -That's promising.

Extremely promising. Oh, but look at this.

-Oh, oh. -[Tory] Oh.

[Bisi] Oh, that's pretty good.

This is... This is more promising.

-Yeah. That's pretty good. -Huh.

All right. Let's look at the tile.

-That's incredible. -[Bisi] Oh.

[Tory] The porcelain completely shattered,

-taking all that energy. -Uh-huh.

And, I mean, look at the steel, it's not that bent.

[Bisi] It's not that bad.

It looks like they all worked well.

What if we took the parts that worked the best

from all three and combine it

and make the ultimate bombproof car?

I like where you're going.

[Faye] To figure out the best combination of blast

mitigating materials for our full-scale test,

we shall review the slow motion footage

from our small-scale experiment.

And we got some interesting results here.

[explosion]

-[Bisi] Look at the ground. -[Tory] Oh.

-You see the shockwave. -[Bisi] Yes.

Isn't that cool how it kicks up

-the dust on the ground? -Oh, cool.

[explosion]

-[Tory] You see that little peak? -[Bisi] Yes.

-[Faye] Mmm-hmm. -[Tory] That's all the porcelain shattering

and absorbing all that energy.

-So, I feel like... -Yeah. Porcelain, I feel is a great contender.

[Tory] Yes. I would say we stick with the plastic,

maybe the porcelain, obviously we're gonna go with steel.

But then we're gonna have to build

some kind of compartment in there to protect the driver.

Maybe we build like a little cocoon...

-Oh. -...for the person to sit in for this blast.

-We should. -Yeah. We're gonna have to go above and beyond

because after looking at that first explosion,

there just seems like there's no way.

-[Bisi] So why don't we look at the car... -Yeah.

-...and see what we can up with? -Okay. It sounds good.

[upbeat music playing]

[Tory] I guess we'll start by pulling the seats out.

-[Bisi] Yes. -[Faye] Yeah. Sounds like a good plan.

This is a 1985 Cadillac Deville.

Now, it's a midrange model.

It's not quite as luxurious as the Eldorado.

However, it's gonna sub-in perfectly

because it's made in the same era

and it has a similar construction,

got the coupe body style, and the chassis is the same.

So it'll work perfect for this test.

We have the floor pan of the car.

And on top of that, we're using a layer of ceramic tile,

which we know will shatter on impact

and disperse the shockwave.

Three layers of concrete fiberboard

to absorb energy and deflect the blast,

then our high density plastic

to protect from fragmentation.

And to stay true to the movie myth,

we are using a steel plate as the topmost

layer of protection for the driver's seat floor.

I feel safer already.

I will then put up the side shields

and just basically create a box.

We're just gonna fit this one in

-on the passenger side. -[Bisi] Oh, okay.

[Tory] And hopefully, that will keep us safe.

Oh, this is actually looking pretty robust.

-Look at how thick that is. -Yeah.

-[Tory] We got, like, five inches of material. -[Faye] Right. Right.

This could be the only thing that survives from the blast.

I mean, really, the car is just gonna get decimated,

but I'm hoping that this little compartment

that we're building withstands it.

All right. This thing is almost done.

We have the floor in place, the sidewalls,

I just need to weld the back wall

and then next thing to do is

take this out to the bomb range,

and load up some explosives

and see if this thing is blast proof.

[upbeat music playing]

I feel really safe in this car.

This car has no idea what's about to happen to her.

I think it does. That's why it's making all that noise.

-[Bisi laughs] -Please don't.

Now we're back at the bomb range

to see what it would take

to actually build a car bombproof vehicle.

[Faye] You got this, Tory. You got this.

-[Bisi] What? -[laughs]

[Tory] We used materials that we thought were blast-mitigating.

We've created a little cocoon that the driver could sit in.

Now it's time to test this.

Will he survive? We're about to find out.

To test this properly, we do need a proper human analogue.

It's... What is...

-Did you visit a morgue? -Um...

We need to get him into the driver seat.

[Faye] Oh, God, he's heavy.

So awkward.

Stuck it... Okay. Try that.

[Tory] Oh, there we go. We got him.

-[Faye] Yeah. -There we go.

[Bisi] Hands on the steering wheel as well, that's perfect.

[Tory] Well, to make sure we know whether or not

-he'd survive this, we have this. -What is that?

-This... These are burst discs -[Bisi] Nice.

And they are rated for 100 PSI.

So let's say, what we built stays intact.

-Right. -It might look like he survived.

But if these have burst then we know

-he would have been killed by the blast. -Oh.

Body could not withstand the pressure.

-Exactly. -Got it. Okay.

So I figured we'll just put it right here on his lap.

To confirm if the blast is survivable,

the burst discs are calibrated to 100 PSI,

which the human body cannot survive.

All right. I think we're set.

Oh, wait, he needs hair.

-Wig color? -Ooh, definitely brown.

Yeah. That's like more gangster.

-I got this one for Bisi. -Oh. Oh.

-[Bisi] I always wanted one of these. -[Tory] Oh, that looks great.

We have our driver in position.

And it's time to test whether or not

we're gonna save this guy's life.

-Are you guys ready? -Do I look ready?

[Tory] You look so ready. [laughs]

[Bisi] This is quite warm.

[Tory] You need to change your profile picture.

[Bisi laughs]

[explosion]

[Faye] Our first full-scale experiment

was a perfect match for the movie explosion.

But the steel plate alone

was not enough to save our driver.

Bob is now replicating the dynamite rig and test conditions

so we can determine if our composite, ceramic tile,

cement sheet, polyethylene board, and steel plate

can withstand and deflect the car bomb's blast

enough to save Buster's life.

Ooh, this is gonna be good, you guys.

-This is the moment. -[Tory] My feeling is

we built that little seat with so much material,

I feel like he has a pretty good chance of surviving.

I think even if the structure we made stays intact,

the pressure waves itself are gonna just destroy his insides.

So I think our little pressure vessel

is gonna burst at a hundred PSI.

[Faye] I don't know. I'm a little on the fence.

-[Tory] Mmm-hmm. Let's find out. -[Faye] It seems like a lot.

-Well, we'll know in few seconds. -[Faye] Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

[Tory] In three,

two,

one.

-[explosion] -[all] Oh.

[laughing]

What?

[explosion]

[all] Oh.

I... That is...

[explosion]

[Bisi] That... But that was...

-What the heck... -That was beautiful.

-Why am I shaking? -...was that?

-That was beautiful. All right. -That was amazing.

-[Faye] Oh, my God. -[Bisi] Oh, my goodness.

Our structure looks almost intact still.

[Tory] Yeah, it does.

[Faye] Look at all the tile.

[Bisi] If anything, it did almost exactly

what we saw in our small-scale test.

The tile disintegrated and absorbed a bunch of energy.

Yeah. I mean, it completely destroyed

-the bottom of the car. -Right.

However, our high density plastic

-plus our fiberboard is still intact. -[Bisi] Yes.

-Even the console survived... -[Tory] Yeah.

...the steering wheel, everything that was obliterated...

-[Tory] Yeah. -...in the first vehicle is intact.

-[Faye] Yeah. -[Bisi] Faye, how does Buster look?

[Faye] He actually looks okay.

[Tory] How's the wig?

[laughs]

[Bisi] Even though Buster is very resilient,

our burst discs... Wait a minute.

This is tricky because the discs themselves...

-Oh. -...actually survived.

But they're pretty wrinkled up.

And the fact that this was actually

launched out of the vehicle,

-I mean, all that energy... -Yeah.

...probably would have broken your spine.

So on first inspection,

we saw that our burst discs didn't burst.

But they did get wrinkled up pretty good.

So that means it didn't go over 100 PSI.

But eighty to a hundred PSI means severe lung damage,

which means you may have survived the shockwave

but you're probably gonna die soon after.

But the fact that our gauge got tossed out of the bucket

tells me that there was so much energy

and all that shockwave probably

just would have ripped right through the person's body,

uh, and killed them anyway. So it was a good effort.

-Look at the seat... -But I don't think

this person would have survived.

[Faye] What do you think of this myth?

I think it's busted on all levels.

He would not have survived

but, man, that was a good attempt.

I need my souvenir.

-[laughs] -And the wig.

Oh, my God.

Oh, that was fun.
