haven't finished the video yet but on the first explosion they should have placed something like a bag of water on top of the explosive, it's actually used with some explosives to direct the shockwave and focus the energy of the explosion like a shape charge and avoid wasting pretty much half of the explosive force that goes upwards, water works great because its not compressible and even though the explosion displaces it it doesn't do it fast enough like the air in front of a plane when it goes past the speed of sound and generates a sonic boom edit: ok, they did it with metal plates the second time but still water works better
As for the vacuum lifting stuff... Check out Matthias Wandel. (if i spelled that correctly) He is a great guy making great videos, one of which shows you how to make a device that can lift out your patio tiles easily. NO heavy lifting or anything like that. A simple construction, a vacuum cleaner of some sort, and voila, he lifts out patio tiles weighing i dunno how many kilo's. And so yeah, duh. They lift heavy glass windows all the way up skyscrapers using a few suction cups.
but i do have this question about it: i see that Jamie and Adam keep their vacuum running while lifting. And so does Matthias if i am not mistaken. Is it not possible to install a valve in the hose to just cut off the flow and maintain the vacuum?
Jugoslavia was not part of the Soviet bloc, it was independent. It got to communism in it's own way with no real influence from the Soviet-Union which let to a frosty relationship pretty much forever. Yugoslavia is one of the few countries that liberated itself from the Nazi's so wasn't part of either bloc. It's also why the Yugo was relatively well known as it was exported to the west which didn't happen with Soviet products.
@@wilfredoUbatuba Not really afraid. It was just that the Soviet-Union was seriously overstretched and Stalin didn't have the resources to spare. He had all his focus on Germany. Yugoslavia also was hostile to the west and wasn't in the way so for Stalin it was best to mostly just leave them be. The resources of the Soviet-Union were better spend defending their position in Germany and also rebuilding after the war. Greece was actually in a similar position with it kicking out the Germans themselves and having a massive communist movement. However the British invaded to protect the king and destroyed the communists. Stalin made no move to help them cause again he didn't consider it worthwhile. With the Korean war Stalin gave his approval but didn't really allocate many resources to it. Stalin was a very cold hearted pragmatic man. If it didn't serve his interests he didn't care if communists got slaughtered.
@@MrMarinus18 Correct me if I'm wrong but what I meant is that Stalin tried to kill Tito several times but failed miserably. And Tito sent a letter to Stalin telling him it would not take that many attempts to succeed. Hence the fear, because it seems Staline didn't try his luck with Tito anymore
@@wilfredoUbatuba Indeed. He did want control over the territory and believed that since Tito claimed to be communist he ought to have it. However he didn't have the resources to spare to take it by force. I don't think it's an opinion to state that the Soviet-Union was a much stronger nation than Yugoslavia.
Under 500kg of anfo did so much damage in open space. Now imagine that Andes Breivik has exploded 2 tons of it in Oslo, in the densely built-up government district..
Convection current pulling in dust at the bottom. That's amazing. And giant chunks of steel flying out of the debris cloud. Yup, i do remember having seen that before, some 23 years ago. Funny part is: Now it is 11 11. NEIN not involved. Anyway.... In those days the material seen blown outwards was called Dust Puffs. And even if you thought it was some kinda explosive doing that.... certain people had excuses like: Nah man, that is air pressure which causes that. Imagine going along with such a nonsense story just because you got some money.
Why would they use a front-engined car for the vacuum lift??? If they'd used a mid-engined car, preferably with 50-50 weight distribution, they would have achieved a much better result with the octopus design. The suction was clearly there, but the balance was all wrong.
Ok guys, 3 plates of steel on top in 3 2 1..... Meanwhile they is in a bunker, and the line i just wrote down starts at 13:44. But at 13:48 we see people standing right there, no protection what so ever. Not that far away. So why are they in this bunker?
I wonder how many Mythbuster children are out there today, engineering the world around us. Thank you Mythbusters for making science fun.
I forgot how fun it was to see a joyful Jamie.
Jamie ? - Thought that was just a Myth
Jamie finally discovers how much explosive is too much. Not that he’s too disappointed about it!
This episode is so underrated
Im pretty sure a 7,000 lbs sheet of steel would have flattened that car if you just dropped it.
Not from that height

Oh hey, that's Jan Ochoa (now of Giant Bomb) on the right at 35:11

Soviet cars were exported: Lada in particular.
Stalin was even afraid of Tito

So why are they in this bunker?
Would you rather people cancel them for doing crazy things without adequate safety?
😂❤😂❤😂
Do not try this at home, kids.
Especially not when you actually do own the stuff the show in this video which most of us do not.
Só passa isso agora? Cadê os docs de verdade?
Bro this show is from like 20 years ago.
