What explosive? The one for the cement truck? I'm watching it right now, I missed the earlier one. What did you think about the house they blew up with bug bombs a few episodes ago?

I love that show, although I haven't seen it since they were shooting each other with pennies shot out of a modified staple gun.

Haha I loved that one! Where they were seeing if you threw a penny off of that building if it could kill someone. I thought that one was amazing that most of those pennies were caught by the wind and put on that ledge. BTW thanks mgman, they haven't set if off yet.

I loved the show with the JATO rocket mounted on the old car (was it an Impala?). Debunking the myth about Arizona highway scene where a guy supposedly launched himself into a cliff at 300 mph after frying his brakes. I think they got it up to over 150 mph, but no way the car left the ground. The ping-pong ball underwater salvage operation show was pretty cool too. The two guys are pretty goofy, however, and I wish the beret would take a hike.

I like the show and last night's explosion was cool. To me...the Mythbusters is one of the best shows on Discovery......sure beats the OCC and Boyd shows in my opinion.

Poor Buster sure gets the brunt of their fireworks. Good thing they didn't put Buster in that cement truck.

I love explosions as much as the next guy, but I think my personal favorite was the dead pig rotting in the corvette. Does that make me weird?

Man, I mentioned this show to my friends on the antique truck board..............and I just about got SHOT!!!

They were ****ed that they destroyed an old truck. I'm all for keeping stuff, but I was just amazed that the complete erasure of the truck with a push of a button!! Nothing left but the motor block and a short piece of frame.
