THEY WERE ON UA-cam but they were DELETED from the OTHER MYTHBUSEERS channel, and reappeared HERE... Same with storm chasers, which I loved... And I agree its nice
"To that legend" lmfao, you realize that this is an official Mythbusters YT-channel right? It's the Discovery Channel network who is "that legend" haha.
I'm not sure if the doors to the shipping container were as secure as the wall to the bunker. Most of the blast wave must have gone into blowing the doors off instead of bouncing about the room.
EXACTLY this! It annoyed me SO much when they did this. All the experience they had wirh explosives, C4 especially and they thought a thin metal door propped with some sleepers would contain that blast the same as a reinforced concrete bunker?!
"Yeah, the budget for this one was probably small; a lot of corners were cut. Ideally, it would have been a full-scale brick construction with ballistic dummies for all the people who were in the room, etc."
and the walls of their bunker deformed quite a bit, probably absorbing the shock instead of bouncing it. If it was a concrete box, I doubt it would've happened. Add to that what another comment mentioned, about the body being thrown from the explosion and hitting the walls, and I'm really tempted to think the bunker attempt was insufficient as an experiment. And I think they should've picked it up as soon as the doors blasted open vs being more or less intact in the control test to scale. Budget restrictions are understandable, but man... it still leaves a bad taste.
@@young3nsinglej Not every door inside a bunker is a blast door. If it was a single room within a larger complex, it may have just been a regular door that'd be far less sturdy than the doors of a shipping container. On the flip side, the door to the bunker would not have been 8ft high by 8ft wide so there would have been at least some reflection off of the rest of that wall. However, given that they said the overall size of the bunker was bigger than that container I'd still say the Myth deserves to be labelled busted.
@@dgthe3true, and that would be in best scenario for closed right doors as well, which is just another small detail, even if blast doors were there, there would be no point in closing them shut
Yeah, i was about to comment on that: "Not only is it good news for the myth, but also for the dragonfly." But, "damn"? As in, cool, or not? I think they're damn cool.
If I remember correctly my history textbooks in school also said that the thick map table leg and oak desktop stopped most of the blast as they were currently talking about the northern part of the map and he was basically laying on top of the table
Okay, let's break this Hitler thing down: Originally, the plan Stauffenberg had was to use 2 kilos of explosives. He also knew WELL in advance that the meeting was not in the Wolfsschanze. Almost a week in advance. He relied entirely on the proximity of the explosion and the extra explosives. However, he could not get both packs into the meeting and he could not place the briefcase close enough to Adolf. That was the issue. It had nothing to do with the fact that it wasn't in the bunker.
what truly made the difference was that the second briefcase wasn't put right next to it. Stauffenberg didn't have time to arm both bombs, but they'd have detonated sympathetically if they had been next to each other, killing all in the room.
The third factor (besides pressure shock wave and shrapnel) that affects survivability in a blast -- which they didn't mention -- is the issue of the body itself becoming a projectile and slamming against a wall or other object that brings it to a fast stop. The longer room with walls further away in the actual Wolf's Lair explosion location might have reduced the g-forces of that possible secondary impact, compared to a smaller underground room in which Hitler would have presumably been thrown against a nearby surrounding wall with a higher level of impact force. Given that four people died in the original explosion as it was (even in the larger room with windows), I have to think the underground room, if the meeting had happened there, would very possibly have been lethal to many in the room.
@@nehorlavazapalka At a significant distance yes, but the shockwave won't even disrupt your balance then. If you're close enough to a blast to get launched, you're likely already dead. Hollywood is making you think that a guy can be launched 50meters away and walk it off as long as he doesn't bang his head. We're talking about a closed room here even, if you're getting shot to the other side of the room, the blast is killing you before the impact force does.
Please do some research on the Führerbunker before you comment. The conference room in the bunker did not have blast doors, was larger and had multiple entrances to the room. This entire myth is mute, hitler was saved by the bag with the bomb being moved after being primed.
thats why anti personal devices usually feature objects, if that bag was filled with... coins for example, the room would have been 360 shotgun blasted, so a bag of spare change could have changed the course of history... but they went cheap
@@LaraCroftCP knowing german laws i cant condone giving information about enhancing certain devices and using ball bearrings would be one of the most dangerous things, because the weight and material are literally what also can be used in shotgun shells or claymore mines, thus the energy transfer from the blast to the projectiles would be extremely high, i do not recommend using such materials or building any sort of dangerous devices.
I’m pretty sure I saw this when it premiered but I don’t ever remember seeing it again and I thought perhaps that was because it involved he who shall no longer be named but after watching it again, it’s sort of a guide on how to make anti personnel bombs effectively.. great episode if you ask me.
The whole idea was to have a confined explosion similar to an underground bunker vs. an explosion in an above ground conference room. While Adam tells us that the container was smaller than the actual bunker I am fairly sure that Hitler's reinforced concrete bunker had no shipping container doors with direct access to the outside that would immediately release all the pressure as was evident in the Mythbuster experiment. I would say the only thing here busted was the Mythbusters more or less useless attempt at creating an 'underground bunker'.
Yeah, container is all good for regular housing test but not nearly good enough for a bunker substitute. I wonder if they could have found (withbetter budget and enthusiasm, Jamie was pretty done with mythbusters at later years) an old bunker to test it.
This is before watching the vid With my understanding on how depth charges work, needing the water pressure to cause the most damage, and so i would presume a completely closed room would contain the blast a lot better than one with easily breakable windows, thus being a lot deadlier
the problem with this result is 4 people died in the actual blast, so if it had happened in the other room, where would hilter be in relation to the bomb, he may well have died in the other room.
Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg already knew, that the briefing would have been held in the house above the ground, and therefore he had two briefcases with 1kg of explosives each. On an excuse right before the meeting, he activated and timed the first bomb, but as only one handed, he hadn't had enough time to activate the second bomb as well. As von Stauffenberg was interrupted, only one breifcase had the timer. He entered the situation room only with one briefcase, the second one was with his adjudicator, who had no access to the room. So the double amount of explosives was planned, and it was known, that the briefing would be held in the situation room, rather than the bunker, but instead of putting both briefcases on one spot, the second wasn't in the room. And the rest is history.
Does ANYONE know what the Song in the Last couple of Minutes is called? This is one of these legendary sounds at Mythbusters and I would love to get it as my phone Ring Sound 😅 many thanks!
everyone arguing the reliability but let's face it, the mythbusters probably did a better test than all you sofa scientists.. and if you got a problem, why not just go do it yourself and prove them wrong
As a German, this is actually the first time of me seeing this episode. They couldn't screen this due here to our heavy regulations in regards to the subject matter, probably because it isn't "educational" enough. Nevertheless, great episode, as always.
So much wrong with that second explosion (the "bunker" one). For starters: If one whole side of the container got blown off from the blast, the shockwave clearly escaped the room. Assuming that the RL bunker was meant to withstand bombs and/or artillery fire, I'm pretty sure it would've contained the explosion far better than that POS shipping container could. Reinforced concrete vs a rusty old container? Yeah ... Plus there are some quite important facts that were either ignored or not mentioned in the episode. Like the fact that Stauffenberg had double the amount of explosives than what he eventually used - nobody knows for sure why he only used one block of plastique, but the theory is that he ran out of time while arming the blasting caps and then, weirdly, didn't simply put the second block (minus blasting cap) into the briefcase. Also: The table Adam built looks much more flimsy than the one that was actually there on the day - which was made from solid oak and of extremely sturdy construction. The legs also had a different, much more solid shape and would've blocked quite a lot of the blast pressure in RL. The bag originally sat on Hilter's side of one of the legs but an aide moved it to the far side of that leg, so the leg sat between the target and the bomb when it went off. Also, also: There were other people in the room with the target - those should probably be simulated in the experiment to get a more meaningful result. Also, also, also: I don't remember where I caught it, but there was a whole documentary about the assassination attempt and about the blast where they put a lot more effort into recreating the events of the day. I think they tested all sort of hypothetical scenarios, like "what would've happened if Stauffenberg had used all the explosives he had on him?", etc. The infuriating thing was that they found multiple scenarios in which Hilter would've died - and one of those was the explosion in the bunker.
Bunker threw dirt above - got warped - so energy went in the bunker and all around instead of "back inside" I would say. + bunker would have strong door that would keep the blast inside I would expect... I usually do not agree with the other trio doing their tests but.. this time meh.
Valkyrie was a quality film. Cruise was great and the rest of the cast was stacked with British talent: Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, Terence Stamp. Very well-polished. Sadly it's not all that later and yet cinema has gone to pieces.
There is a good movie about this event - Valkyrie, with Tom Cruise. It was not only an assasination attempt but also a coup attempt. Short story is, the conspirators all got caught and killed.
Wait, is that a Prison Break action figure they're using for the bomb test? I'm pretty sure that's supposed to look like Wentworth Miller, I can tell from the hair.
Something occurred to me not long ago - even if someone had succeeded in taking out the Austrian painter, odds are, someone even worse would have stepped in to fill his shoes. His party was full of people who held his exact views, and were even more rabidly fanatical about them.
I thought about this as well. But I think it would only have been a problem in the beginning years of the war. By 1942, Germany was already slowly losing the war. I personally believe that if someone had succeeded in one of the assassination attempts in 1943-1944, the war could have ended 1 or maybe even 2 years earlier than it did.
@@Teddy_Bear312 Good point - I didn't factor in the potential drop in morale. But then, h*l*caust was in full swing by '42, and you know how fanatics are. Look what it took to finally make imperial Japan stand down.
About the slap... Recently, I've been listening to podcasts about diet and especially about fasting and everyone seems to agree that fasting for many hours will sharpen your senses. If you think about it, it makes sense. Back then, people needed to hunt before they got to eat and the longer you go without eating, the more you need to rely on your senses and reflexes to be good at hunting. The opposite of being cold and hungry is being comfortable and I don't think that being comfortable helps to hunt or, in this case, increases your performance during the test. Even though the test results seem to demonstrate that they were impaired, I wonder if being hungry and cold didn't actually boost their adrenaline, just like the slap did.
Bruh If the door comes down with low pressure how do you expect the high pressure result? Not talking of the missing 'reflecting' wall when one just said goodbye to the structure
Yes, because the MythBusters were clairvoyant and knew that the day after they uploaded this episode, an actual assassination attempt would take place in America...
@@gabrielv.4358 that's the thing, I don't know honestly. Wish I did, I think they did a fair attempt, but I just don't think it was really able to be tested properly
As expected of an Asian face, very expressive reactions from Grant, lmao. That said, as much as others, I myself have never seen this episode also on Television Cable. I mean, I know the exploding sewer myth, but I definitely have not heard of this one.

Didnt also Graf Stauffenberg only got one time fuse ready?

Yea but any blast that would launch a human with enough impact force to kill them is probably killing them before they hit any walls.
@@flammenjc no, IRL head impacts far more lethal than the shockwave itself
It's a Hollywood factor, if didn't really happen irl
At most, it will just topple you over

They also did not say that the position of the bomb was also changed from close to Hitler to near the leg of the table which absorbed the shock
They did, at the closure of the video.
exactly, if the bomb were not moved it would have probably killed Adolf
It's a piece of wood vs a kilo of C4. It's gonna "absorb" less than 1% of the initial shock. That point is irrelevant
I wish they re-did the bunker test while fully securing the door! Blowing out the door reduced the pressure!
i assumed they knew what kind of doors his bunker used, but maybe they didn't. if hitler's bunker had blast door, then yeah this test was invalid.
Please do some research on the Führerbunker before you comment. The conference room in the bunker did not have blast doors, was larger and had multiple entrances to the room.

Very interessting!
Just one point:
It is said that Stauffenberg (he had lost Fingers on one Hand) was only able to arm half of the explosive.
"You can't get less tired without sleeping"
Nobody tell this man about sitting down, you guys.
