Four Of The Most Ambitious Builds MythBusters Ever Attempted | MythBusters

Four myths that all share exactly one thing in common — someone had to build something extraordinary before anything could be blown up or proven wrong — starting with Adam and Jamie reconstructing the Hindenburg disaster to find out whether it was the hydrogen inside or the rocket-fuel-based paint coating the outer skin that turned a 1937 airship into the most iconic aviation catastrophe in history, then dropping pure sodium into a water bottle inside a jail cell wall to find out whether a chemistry-grade explosive reaction can punch a man-sized hole through solid concrete, then watching the Build Team construct a full-scale ultralight airplane from bamboo, trash bags, and a cement mixer engine and point it at a 150-foot quarry cliff, and then finishing with Adam and Jamie locked in a room with nothing but household materials and a set of MacGyver missions to complete before time runs out. Subscribe so you never miss an experiment:    / @mythbusterstvshow   Using science as their weapon and curiosity as their fuel, Hollywood special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman spent 14 seasons and 296 episodes testing the world's most popular myths, urban legends, and movie moments. From the Diet Coke & Mentos explosion to surviving an underwater car escape — if it can be tested, they'll test it. #MythBusters #AdamSavage #ScienceExperiments
