      From basic physics it will depend on the displacement of the object and the rate of descent. I'd say this one is "plausible" becuase one test showed the phenomenon and the other test showed their conditions weren't sufficient to cause it (and that it would be a rarity for it to happen).

      i'm not so sure about the science. 5 episodes after this one (i can't find it on this channel) they play at testing whether a construction worker carrying a sheet of plywood could be picked up from the top of the building by a gust of wind and deposited a few floors below. all they did was drop buster from a crane. they didn't even use a proper accelerometer, instead they stuck a glass ball filled with fake blood into his head. i'm not so sure the glass balls made very accurate accelerometers, and they seem to have completely forgotten what they learned from "penny from the empire state building" myth, that is, how wind interacts with tall buildings to create updraft. this updraft was absent from the experiment, and no mention was made AT ALL about what updraft wind-speed would be needed to exert 200lbs (estimated combined weight of percentile man plus plywood) of pressure on a full sheet of 5-ply (32 square feet). wind velocity squared * 0.00256 = pounds per square foot. so with a 50mph wind and 32sqft surface, 50*50*.00256*32=204.8 lbs. what i wanna know is if that amount of updraft is possible, and then using a large fan to move the air upward at that speed, would buster, WITH A PROPER ACCELEROMETER, survive the drop while hanging from a sheet of plywood? THEN add the slapstick and send jamie and adam off a roof with a sheet of plywood over an updraft (of course harness them into a bungee rig in case they slip their grip)

    The effects of the way the titanic sank was different depending on what half you're talking about the Bow sank gradually filling up each room equally to the rate of the sinking the stern sunk rapidly and had air pockets which imploded if you were above the stern when it went under and those are Pockets imploded there would have been suction if you are on the bow when it went under the only risk you are under for being sucked into the Titanic was from the wooden framed windows breaking around the grand staircase

I can only surmise she was in some kind of sexual relationship with one of the producers and it led to her role on the show.

    always wanted to say this when i watched it as a kid. but if the trombonist burnt their lips, it means his mouth was most likely plugging one end. the slide wouldn't shoot off without pressure building up from his lips blocking the other end i'd suspect. also this slide looked fairly dry, they lube them up quite well.

    You know they still don't have the knowledge here about buoyancy when you realized that they actually did one part of the myth again here on the later seasons, "Can bubbles make you sink?" They were using a complicated build here, but on the "Can bubbles make you sink" myth, Jamie had the simplest idea to use a custom whoopie cushion to produce bubbles and use a tube to make a human simulation for the buoyancy subject.

They had several such laws and orders on the go, including orders to soldiers given at a certain little town called Auschwitz, about maintaining nature 'in a proper, civilized way, for the wellfare of all', after some men of the Wehrmacht were seen destroying bushes for funsies..

      the difference in density is minuscule. My opinion is that you COULD be sucked in if the sinking ship released lots of air in a bubble column. The aerated water would be MUCH less dense and you would descend quickly. Waste treatment facilities use aeration to separate the liquids from the solids and people have fallen in and drown because they cannot float in the aerated sewage

      Mass isn't the important thing; displacement at the point of submersion and the rate of descent is what determines the force of the vortex caused.
      In this case you had a fairly slow descent with a fairly narrow displacement at the point of submersion. They did make fairly clear that final experiment was being rushed though.

      The Official Mythbusters channel is also uploading, but I wouldn't take it as gospel to upload them yourself. I'm just thinking Discovery either wants to rerun on license, or just wants public domain of the show.
