| Summary |
Mythbusters' Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, along with their fellow super geeks Kari, Tory and Grant are ready to bring sexy back to science and push their expertise to the limit. The gang mix, launch, explode, race, smash, shake, inflate, crash and bang their way through a bunch of brand new experiments as they separate fact from fiction. Using modern day science, they will stop at nothing to find the truth behind life's most perplexing what ifs, rumours, myths, movie scenes, Internet videos, news stories and urban legends to decide if they are 'confirmed', 'plausible' or totally 'busted'.It's automotive mayhem as the team take on Hollywood crash cliche's. First Adam and Jamie have a slapstick classic - two workmen are carrying a pane of glass across a road, and then a car drives clear through it. But would the workmen walk-away unharmed or would they be pane-fully wounded?Next the guys tackle a cinematic solution to congested roads. Bearing down on a tailback somehow the hero manages to drive his truck through two lanes of cars and out the other side. But could a big rig really keep on trucking through traffic?Finally Kari, Grant and Tory have an explosive showdown. Supposedly when you fire a bazooka at an SUV, the explosion spins the car off its wheels. But could an RPG really be a weapon of mass rotation?
