Car Vaporized by Rocket Sled on Mythbusters

by Ed Lau on April 17, 2009

How’s THAT for a headline?

Mythbusters is basically porn for science geeks. These guys take the most far out ideas anyone can think of and put them into practice. Apparently this is a revisit to the failed experiment where they tried to fuse two trucks together in a head-on collision and see if a car caught between them would get pancaked. In theory, it might be somewhat the same but that rocket sled is traveling quite a bit faster than any commercial truck possibly could. Heck, it’s faster than most planes. The result? Pure awesomeness.

Seriously, anything on high speed film is fun to watch.

Yeah that was fucking insane! Last episode was even better – they made a speedboat out of frozen newspaper!
