This is meant to be a 2 hour special but yet it's only 1 hour 34 mins. Just goes to show how bad the advertisements are in America. Nearly 30 mins of adverts in a 2 hour show
Come to germany, there you’ll see a 2 hour show in 4 hours 👌
To be fair, they had to finance the show somehow.
@@paulakm626exactly. some people just don't understand how life works.
@@daniloistdawhy do I have a feeling you'd have something entertaining going on in that additional time?
You fail to realise that these shows are made to make you watch the advertisments, not vice versa.
I just wanna say thanks for uploading these. I can finally catch up to all myth busters I've missed from 2013 to 2017
24:05 I love how Tory gives the dummy change cash. Its little moments like these that made this show great.
Its pretty shocking how little strength the roof of that school bus has.
The Windows are the weak point…
But yes💯
And poor Buster 🫣🤣
Busses don't have roll cages like cars do. They would be too heavy.
With the roof strength it's kind of an all-or-nothing deal. Either the roof can support the vehicle or it can't.
As it was Going Over I Imagined my Children in there...
Like the typical American houses ;)
@@MrMarinus18Cars dont have roll cages either..
13:57 Thats the same opening question I use when meeting people for the first time
Imagine going on a cruise and then the day you set off, finding out that the Mythbusters are doing a live myth off the back of the ship. Those guys certainly got their money’s worth buying that particular cruise trip! 😄
It's also of course a massive advertisement for Imperial majesty.
The company no longer operates under that name and she was scrapped in 2010
That would be cool
The four stages of Sea sickness:
1. You feeling unwell
2. You think you die
3. You are sure you die
4. You realise, you will not die
will you remain at stage 4 after that in the long run?
Only when you mistook the antihistamine for Pervitin probably...@@alf3071
Panic attack?
Carrie's laugh with the captain was so cute wow!
Love Jamie with that Dolphin 😂 "yeah i think we can build it"
Adam Savage commenting what the Hyneman does like it's nat geo wild is the best part of this show
This is amazing, we all see jet plane fly over soo calmly, But its rarely we realize how powerful those jet engines really are.
And it appears that wasn't even the full thrust available since the pilot can be seen moving only the inboard (#2 & 3) thrust levers forward, and the jet blast also appears behind the two inboard engines.
It’s also amazing people think the condescended air they kick out is chemical spray 😂😂😂 nope it’s just hot condensed air hitting cold air and basically making cloud
Plane engines: Can push 700000 lbs plane through air
People: Yeah, but can it lift a 2000lbs Taxicab?
Dolphin thing is pretty easy to explain. Sharks are predators but they're not territorial. They're looking for a meal, not a fight. Presence of a dolphin, which can be quite vicious, means it's just not worth its time, especially since dolphins usually travel in groups.
What about WW2? Groups of Men in the water didn't have that affect on Sharks. They got eaten. The Shark is physically bigger than 1 Dolphin. It has an advantage but still it doesn't. ?
@hellboundrubber4448 yeah but it will die to a pod... theyd just ram its stomach until their organs burst
Dolphin might also look like a baby orcha and a orcha is a death warrent for a shark.
"A little inch closer, Jamie would have his mustache trimmed" got me😅
Man they always cut Grant's conversations off and they're the part im most interested to hear lol
I know, I feel the same way when they edit the technical conversations Adam and Jamie have, that's the downside of scientific content getting adapted for the general public, although I don't think the general public would actually complain about a little technical jargon.
FINALLY THE HD VERSION OF THIS EPISODE
There’s no need to shout.
This is one of my all time favorite episodes. Its great the Jet myths can be testet, they first try was canceld.
Diving must be exhausting for Jamie, with those gigantic brass balls weighing him down... Man didn't even flinch with that shark.
It's only a Shark 🤷🏻♂️
I really don't see the fear associated with them.. they're not the Human killing machines people think.
I'd absolutely love to be in Jamies shoes there!
@@ashhawk2346You must not live near the coast lmao.
A kid got eaten by a shark in my home town.
Ever heard of Bull sharks? Come swimming here with the sharks and see how long you last 🤷♀️
@@AnNatie Yes, Bull sharks are renowned for their ability to try and eat anything.. but most sharks aren't going to attack a Human intentionally to eat them, so you're pretty safe.
It's possible to swim with bull sharks too, but not recommended.
@@AnNatie75 million people go swimming in the ocean in the US alone per year. 10 people die of shark attacks per year. The chance of anyone being killed by a shark in America is around 0.00001% chance (1 in 10,000,000), even lower when considering the entire world. That's why nobody is afraid. It's more likely to be struck by lightning (1 in 15,300).
For the rocket to explode like that, isn't the company that provided the rocket liable to provide replacements at minimum, if not for the car as well?
1:10:32, this is definitely 100% Jamie Moment, lmao.
Him saying "yeah"?
10:30 Jamie is going to continue busting myths in the afterlife ... in the search for Jimmy Hoffa xD
What people seem to forget: Dolphins are predators! Sure, they usually hunt smaller prey than sharks, but they hunt fish, crustaceans and squid. Sometimes even smaller birds. They also have 100 to 200 teeth and live in groups. So a dolphin is not a harmless animal, it is only harmless to humans, at least under normal conditions. But this also applies to sharks, which don't normally attack humans; if they do, it's more likely to be by accident (in a bloodlust or because they've mistaken a human for something else or because they were almost starving and there really is no better prey, so it's either that or starve to death). Divers who swim around sharks and pose no threat to them, nor get between them and their food, are rarely attacked by sharks unless they are bleeding. And A shark does not want to start a fight with a dolphin, as a dolphin can seriously injure a shark, and if a shark attacks a single dolphin, its entire group will come to its defense, as an attack on one individual is an attack on the group, but the shark has no backup, as other sharks couldn't care less, they will not come to its aid. Sharks are not afraid of dolphins but they do respect them and if there is a dolphin between them and their prey, they will not go for a fight unless they think they have to.
It's like between a bear and a wolf. Sure, a bear can easily win against a wolf, but unless it feels it has to, it will avoid any fight. Mainly because attacking a single wolf means attacking its whole pack, and even a big bear has no chance against a whole pack of wolves. And a bear cannot know if that is a lonely wolf or a member of a pack. And since a wolf is no threat to a bear and also not a typical prey, why would the bear attack the wolf? Why would it take this risk? It would only do so if the bear had nothing to eat for a very long time and this wolf may be the only chance to survive the next couple of days or if the bear feels very threatened and thinks it must defend itself. In all other cases the bear will just leave the wolf alone and keep a reasonable distance in between them. And this also means not going for something that the wolf seems interested in, as that would also be an unnecessary aggression. The shark doesn't know why the dolphin hangs around with another animal, maybe it's prey, maybe it's a friend, but going after that animal surely is seen as an aggression by the dolphin and that's what the shark tries to avoid, it doesn't want to steer up an unnecessary conflict. Certainly not in a place full of other prey the shark can go after instead.
desperate starving wolf packs sometimes attack bears, but yeah only if they have to, to survive, seems like the only thing that is not yet mentioned here ^^
19:38 whose foot is that?! 🤣
I think for the show long term the failure of Jato 2 was a massive benefit. It created a real story since it was also the very first myth.
Poor chevy impala. Whatta classic
It's never a guarantee that a dolphin will help you or the shark will leave you alone ( a different shark would have ripped it apart ) , like with all animals there is always that one that bites for no reason or the one that is friendly for no reason. just like humans, ez as that
9:02 not him casually welding the chain to his bare finger
duude! if it wasnt for your comment I wouldnt have noticed!
Must be sad for team to see scenes with Grant
Now i really love mythbusters. But that nice impala did not have to die 😅
The shark cages look kinda flimsy. In some other clips you see some nice aluminum or stainless steel welded ones.
"Holdying on like a resolute barnacle " 😂
I heard that the dolphins swim head-long into the sharks gills, causing catastrophic damage to that area. I imagine that's why they stay away from them.
The biggest question is did the towel over the head help? LOL worked in trawlers many times been green once or twice but never threw up I feel so bad for Adan I have seen this first hand and know I have never felt that level of sick on the sea. I really feel bad seeing sea sickness, mostly because I didn't understand if it is as bad as it looks.
All I have to say is, the most dangerous things on this clip are the Evinrude outboard engines, lucky you survived them.🤣🤣🤣🤣
It still brakes my heart about the rocket car.
Im sure there was a ton of blowback on the dolphin decoy bit, they should have put just a foam covered box with the same electronic and mechanical noises alongside the seal decoy because as a South African who swims in those waters I am almost convinced the noise and frequency of the mechanical tail has more to do with the deterence than the shape of the dolphin, or they should not have had any mechanisms on the dolphin to be more accurate
I expect that the sound isn’t much of a deterrent, considering the shark hit the target five feet from a moving motor boat, which is louder and more unnatural. Plus, they are more than happy to go after a 2D seal with no sound or smell. I think they aren’t that discerning.
Grant Imahara lives on
😊
1:23:28 ... 😀 HAHA!
21:48 rare moment where the Hyneman shows emotion
the dog we had when i was a little kid was named jato, i never knew what it meant until i saw the original jato car episode
fun fact: This is the only episode where Adam did not laugh after big ka-boom
regarding skiing behind boat T looks for the rope and falls should just feel for it using peripheral vision
Lol give him a break 😅
I bust a gut laughing at the exploding chevy.
I’d hate to know how much this episode cost to film, I’m guessing at least $40k, maybe more
I would assume the plane renting alone is like 10-25k
Imagine you're in a taxi driving down the airport and the driver just announces: "we're going to experience a little turbulence up ahead"
In the Caribbean’s island of Saint Martin we use real people and real working cars with real drivers instead. The blood is also real. The difference is that they mostly end up in the sea 50 meters away.
I wonder if sharks are just afraid of dolphins big brother, the orca, or they can't differentiate between them.
I'm skeptical about how the dolphin one was tested, sharks have extremely keen sensors and hearing. A dolphin shaped object matching mechanical noise and having no natural communication or blood flow from the dolphic would seem abnormal to the shark so surely it would steer clear. I'm sure it would be like humans meeting a life-like robot, no matter how similar they look, you just have a feeling of wrongness'.
What about the "live" worldwide broadcast at that time?
Love seeing Scotty!
"Rocket scientists"
Goblin Engineering at its finest
Well done testing "myths"
something actually happens,
"Let's test this myth"
OMG If that shark had been just a little bit smaller, it would have got in with him and been unable to easily get out.
Wish they had pulled the plane toward the 747.. fitted it with remote control and flew it like a kite!
How did they not put air holes in the Dolphin box???
They should have seen if a Cessna could fly in the exhaust of the 747.
To make it more challenging tory used the exact same board...
Awe, so sad the Rocket Car blew up! I hope they revist this again before the show ends.
Yeah, I've got news for you...
R I P squirrel.😢
They destroyed that Impala😮
I use the term cycles
Good thing no one was in the rocket car.
This rocket expert. Wasnt that the same rocket guy from the 360 swing saying yhea i rigged it like this so if 1 fails the other also will not work for safety. He pressed the button and only 1 went of
Wachted all the Mythbusters atleast twice. But thanks for the uploads in good quali
Plane test was already done by topgear in 2004.
At that time they used ford mondeo and 2cv.
Yes, by that time it was no longer a myth. In fact, it never was. It had happened in Brazil with enough evidence to show it.
By this time, Mythbusters was no longer about myths. It was about blowing up a massive budget, literally. So, when the viewers got tired of seeing explosions and expensive stunts by not being given the interesting myths which made the show great in the past, viewership dropped, the cast was reduced, the show eventually got killed altogether. Had Discovery played their cards right, they could've ended up with a smaller Top Gear/Grand Tour level of success.
you should have brought the dolphin in the shark cage covering the dolphin with a blanket.when sharks show up then uncover the dolphin .
I done water Taboganing sucessfully
The sad destruction of a 56 yr old classic Chevrolet.
_Why ever would you prefer to use that, over a newer far less rare car ?_
Is school bus safety for kids?!😮😮😮 Where is the bus roof after one rotation??!!😢😢😮😮
19:56 Poor Adam xD
I think with the rocket car they should of welded little wings to keep it stable to fa
ly further.
Sharks are brutal! Dolphings are gangstas!
39:20 This show will never take off :)
31:30 the Ali G vibes are real
Just a guess but purchase of the 67 chev the containers and crew i would have to guess they lost a lot more than 10k on the rocket car.
The dolphinarium part was disgusting. I hope they went bankrupt by now...
Thank you UK Top Gear, without you what would other car shows around the world have to copy 😋
Or you could just Have a fake dolphin tie to you that drag just behind you 😂
Dolphins are natural caregivers 😂😂😂😂😂 not if you know anything about dolphin behaviour.
Love my premium membership!
Totally worth EVERY coin!!!😎
Thx for Yet another great upload!!❤

Well i Can Google stuff and still have the video running! While googeling for facts, or simply just Read some news and still listen and have the video running… I Can download videos… If i poweroff my phone… Video is ready again when Im online again 🤷🏼♂️
I Watch so much UA-cam, more than streaming movies on my 4 streaming channels… I have the money… !!!
TBH IGAF🤣🤷🏼♂️ Happy to pay the money💯 And support the TEAM!
It does prove that when people wear wetsuits that are black, sharks will think they are seals and eat them.
Is that why they call carcharodon carcharias “white shark”??
"2 hours special":- Narrator
video length: 1 hours and 34 minutes...

Scottie, my ideal woman...
Lol why did they need to travel to Bahamas and south africa?
what a shame the rockets exploded
60 mil for a 747???
Who’s Mr. Wizard?
Broskis whats wrong with the audio?
Sharks have 3000 teeth? Isn't it more like 300?
Amazing how time can change perception. I used to think Dolphins had the personality of dogs.. Until more research was done and it turns out they can be right pricks SA'ing people, drowing people, bullying etc.

Philosophical arguments over the possibility of one being able to perform a truely, "altruistic" act aside, I would like to think dolphins have an "altruistic" streak.
For one reason, more than any other, I don't think this test of "altruism" is valid; and that is, the "dolphin".
Did the shark see a dolphin or, did the shark see an object that was not neccesarily a dolphin, but an object that it didn't recognize, and therefore became unsettled by, its presence?
No heart beat, no scent, it only floated, would have an unrecognizable sonar-type"return" (if sharks do that sort of thing, I'm not really sure), and had a mechanical "sound" that corresponded with a strange, flopping motion.
That thing may have looked like a dolphin to a human, using the single sense of sight, but to a shark?
And, dolphin are social mammals. Where are all his buddies, his family?
Would the absence of a pod create an even more, unsettling environment?
I am no shark expert by any stretch, but I would like to hear a shark expert weigh in.
I mean, who wouldn't want to think those cute, seemingly grinning mammals would risk life, and fin to save a human?
It's a great story that I, have also "seemingly" witnessed, in a whale that corralled a diver closer to her boat, as a shark wandered by without the diver knowing it was there until, it was seen while reviewing the video recordings of various, underwater cameras
Regarding "altruism", and why I think the word deserves quotations; in humans it can be argued, true "altruism" is a philosophical impossibility, because there is always a benefit to an altruistic act even if, it is the feeling of pride over performing the act, itself.
Therefore, I'm not sure how I would define the act of a dolphin threatening or, attacking a shark when a human is at risk of predation.
We may be unaware of some benefit the dolphin or, his pod might recognize by seemingly, acting in a way that benefits a human.
Why did it have to be non-replaceable cool classics 🤦♂️
Use a smartcar or a crown vic or whatever .. just not Impalas and camaros wth man
Sharks aren’t known for their eye site though are they..? Isn’t their sense of smell their best asset?
That thing would smell like foam and paint.
If you hit a bump with 300 miles. no matter how strong your car is. it brakes into pieces. They do even with only 50 miles lol
What a let down !!!! A two door Impala as well 😮😢😩😡🤬 after all that..... A bit disappointed "To say the least " .
Sharks get attracted to the smell of pee of mammals, so dont pee in the sea or in your wetsuit to keep you warm 😮😮
Why are this sound like talking into a can???
They have mixed down the multi channel to stereo wrong. Another upload of theirs has the channels mixed up
