1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,160 On this episode of Mythbusters, Adam and Jamie go head to head in a jailbreak race using 2 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,160 salsa. 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,080 I'm roasting salsa. 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:22,040 And can you remove cement from a cement truck using dynamite? 5 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:32,760 Come by for the Mythbusters' biggest bang yet as Adam, Jamie and the FBI join forces 6 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,760 and go for broke. 7 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,760 This has got nothing to do with the myth. 8 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,760 This is just a big boom. 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760 Who are the Mythbusters? 10 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,400 Is my missing an eyebrow? 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,400 Adam Savage. 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,400 I reject your reality and substitute my own. 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,400 And Jamie Heineman. 14 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,400 Quack, damn you. 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,400 I wouldn't say Jamie's an evil genius. 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,800 Between them, more than 30 years special effects experience. 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,560 When will the fun ever stop? 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:14,760 They don't just tell the myths, they put them to the test. 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,320 Well this myth comes to us from the website and apparently someone tried to remove concrete 20 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:23,400 from a concrete truck with dynamite. 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,400 Is that even possible? 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,560 You've worked in the industry a while. 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,680 Have you ever heard anything like this? 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,320 I haven't actually heard of this happening but I can imagine. 25 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:36,840 As far as I know the only other way to get rid of concrete is with a chisel. 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,680 And I can see this actually working as long as you didn't put too much in there. 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,640 Then the whole truck is gone. 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,760 But if you did it just right, the shockwave would probably release the concrete from the 29 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,040 surface of the metal drum. 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,680 So Jamie, does this mean we have a dynamite myth on our hands? 31 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,180 That's what it means. 32 00:01:54,180 --> 00:02:00,240 And we have to find some cement trucks. 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,880 At Pacific Cement, Vice President Ron Nunes has so many cement trucks, he's giving them 34 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,880 away. 35 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,480 So apparently you've got some cement mixers that we can have our way with? 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,440 Yeah, you got about four of them. 37 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,400 Getting given a cement truck is like all your Christmases coming at once. 38 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,800 I feel like Mad Max. 39 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,720 But this Santa Claus isn't parting company with a new truck. 40 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,160 Have you noticed the nice seat? 41 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,920 The one singled out for the Mythbusters is way past its sell-by date. 42 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:33,720 And getting it moving is a major operation. 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Right now what we're trying to do is get this over to the cement mixer. 44 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,680 But it's kind of a nightmare because this truck isn't working so we're pulling it out 45 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,120 with chains from the back end. 46 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,280 Now we've got this tow truck that's going to push it forward. 47 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,640 I actually don't know how he's planning on getting this over there. 48 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,360 With a bit of push me pull you, the Mythbusters truck is off to the most explosive job of 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,360 its career. 50 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,080 I can barely parallel park. 51 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,000 This is freaking amazing. 52 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,040 Time for a lesson in the hard stuff. 53 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,880 How critical is it when you have a load of cement in here to get it dumped? 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,320 You have about 90 minutes max time to get the truck unloaded and get it out. 55 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,640 And what happens if you get stuck in traffic? 56 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,520 We hope and pray. 57 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,240 Letting a load go hard is the cardinal sin of a cement truck driver. 58 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,760 But what about the layer of hardened concrete that every truck's barrel builds up over time? 59 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,040 So what's the normal way to clean out one of these? 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,040 The normal way of taking it out is putting a couple of labors in there and chipping it 61 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,160 out with chipping hammers. 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,760 Two unlucky laborers have toiled for a whole day with chippers to clean out this one, just 63 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,640 for the Mythbusters. 64 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,040 But according to the Myth, they could have got the same result by tossing in a stick 65 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,040 of dynamite. 66 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,040 I probably want to stick the charges like right in the middle, maybe hand them, just 67 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,960 so it's right hovering in the center of the barrel. 68 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,440 Have you heard the Myth and people using explosives to attempt to clean these things? 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,440 Well yes I have. 70 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,440 Quite a few times. 71 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,080 Over the past four or five years I've heard it, yes, and I really don't think it'll work. 72 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,440 One way or another, Ron's going to find out. 73 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,080 The Mythbusters plan to load this barrel with just enough cement to coat it, let it harden, 74 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,920 then blow it up. 75 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,400 The truck is backed into position and the cement begins to pour. 76 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,920 Then, in good old Mythbusters fashion, it breaks down. 77 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,720 I think the barrel stopped turning. 78 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,520 This cement truck's just about on the class legs as it is, but failure is always an option 79 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,520 on Mythbusters. 80 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,520 This could be a disaster. 81 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,520 If it doesn't turn, we're not going to have cement. 82 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:47,280 Then we won't have any cement to blow up. 83 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:52,680 On the other hand, if it does turn, the concrete gets mixed and with all eyes on the mechanical 84 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,280 problem nobody notices that way too much is being loaded. 85 00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,080 But that's for later. 86 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:06,520 In the meantime, the geriatric barrel groans and rocks and finally rolls back into life. 87 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,920 If that barrel's full, this could be a hollow victory. 88 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:19,040 You know this how like with every build we do, there's always like that moment of suspense 89 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,640 where we're like, are we totally screwed? 90 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,840 They don't know it yet, but another one of those moments isn't far away. 91 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:32,120 While the truck is towed to a safe location, Adam and Janie set out on a saucy myth from 92 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,120 Central America. 93 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,440 All right big guy, what do we got going on now? 94 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:43,400 Well in 1996, Mexican prisoner Juan Lopez managed to escape his cell by dissolving the 95 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,600 bars of his cell room window with salsa from his jailhouse dinner. 96 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,480 Wow, do you think that's even possible? 97 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,680 It sounds like a tall tale, but according to the myth, one Lopez took just six years 98 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,680 to corrode his way through metal bars using salsa and he's never been seen since. 99 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,000 Okay Jamie, there's one problem with testing this myth that I see is that we don't have 100 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,120 six years to test the effects of these salsas on our bars. 101 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,240 How are we going to come up with a reasonable approach to this? 102 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,360 Well this is an opportunity for you and I to pit our minds and our salsa against this 103 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,080 problem and see who wins. 104 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,080 We're going to see who can escape first. 105 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,160 I don't know, I think you still have an advantage over me. 106 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,880 I mean you escaped from a Mexican prison and I didn't. 107 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,200 In fact, both Jamie and Adam have an impressive pedigree of prison escape. 108 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,560 In a previous episode, they broke out of Alcatraz. 109 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,320 This is so cool! 110 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:46,320 It seemed impossible, but the mythbusters proved escape from Alcatraz was plausible. 111 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,880 We made it! 112 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,520 Now in the myth of salsa escape, the guys have to build a Mexican prison before they can break 113 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,520 out of it. 114 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Have you had any experience mortaring walls with bricks?

123 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,520 I mean it's going kind of slow. 124 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,200 That doesn't come out. 125 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,160 The build team have never laid a brick in their lives. 126 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,080 So progress is less than spectacular. 127 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Jamie should know. 128 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:48,040 Did I tell you that I actually worked as a concrete inspector for several months in Seattle? 129 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Was that before or after you were the large animal veterinarian for the circus? 130 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,120 No, I never did that. 131 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,040 That must be a mistake. 132 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,160 So what was it like being a concrete inspector, a boring one? 133 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:04,960 Well I used to drive around and pick up, and I'd go to construction sites and take samples 134 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,680 of the concrete as it was built for, and sitting there at cylinders for specified periods of 135 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,680 time. 136 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,480 And you even did it in like a humid room. 137 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,680 So having been a concrete inspector, how is the Mythbusters Mexican concrete here?

I'm attaching the anode of my impromptu prison electrolysis machine. 327 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,080 All right now 328 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,120 two 329 00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:47,280 live wires. And finally the secret ingredient. I'll let this rag stand in for my underpants. 330 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:54,880 For some slightly disturbing reason, Adam thinks that adding his underpants into the mix will increase the rate of corrosion. 331 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,240 The weirdest jailbreak in history is about to begin. Let's see if this is hot. 332 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:03,920 That's hot. 333 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:10,080 Hot and deadly. I actually have a lot of experience with electricity, and I know how to do this to keep myself safe. 334 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600 This is plenty, plenty of power to kill me 335 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,800 very quickly. You should never do this at home. 336 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,640 Ever. 337 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,720 I'm roasting salsa. This is cool, but I'm pumping lots of electricity 338 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,680 through the wire, through the bar right there. 339 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,800 The sizzling in Adam's cell twitches nostrils and raises eyebrows. 340 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:37,120 So you don't think the other prisoners or guards in this prison would smell burning salsa? 341 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,760 I don't think so, Jordanie, what's the tension at all? 342 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,160 But you know, 343 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:48,160 if Juan Lopez had done this every day for a few minutes a day, so it's not to let too much smoke load up, 344 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,800 this might just have been how he broke out of prison. 345 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:59,040 At the end of day one, Adam's the red-hot favorite, but it's a long road to freedom and Jamie's a patient man. 346 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:06,800 Back at the cement truck, the Mythbusters want a bigger boom. 347 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,600 So, Jack, what do you got in that there box? 348 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,480 Well, I got a one pound black powder bomb. Only one pound? One pound wrapped hard wrapped black powder. 349 00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:18,960 Well, what do you think it's going to do? 350 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:24,640 I think it's going to make a big bang and a lot of flash and smoke, and I think it may possibly loosen up some of your concrete. 351 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,240 The pyro's under pressure, but he's here for good reason. 352 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,480 The idea is to remove the concrete without blowing up the truck. 353 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,600 It's an incremental process, but the black powder bomb should be a big step up. 354 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,240 Blast danger! Clear the area! Blast danger! 355 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,800 Three, two, one. 356 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,080 Woo! Oh, that was much better! 357 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,840 The explosion rocks the truck with a blast equivalent to almost half a stick of dynamite. 358 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,800 The stinker is flying out that way. 359 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:06,400 The team rushes in to check the damage. At last, a chink in the cement's armor. 360 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,960 I would call this a trophy. 361 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,240 I came right off one of the fins, the first fin. I just pulled it off. 362 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,880 Did we break some off the floor? 363 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,960 Nothing, nothing off the floor. 364 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,760 The floor's untouched. 365 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,040 If this happened to a driver, he'd have to dig his way out of trouble. 366 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:31,120 How much of a nightmare would it be if you were driving along and got stuck in traffic and had your entire full load go off? 367 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,960 I can't think of anything worse. 368 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,000 The Mythbusters are fighting a losing battle with Twister One. 369 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,080 Right on cue, another truck with just the right amount of concrete on board. 370 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,240 Isn't that great? I mean, it's like, we need a second cement truck. 371 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,800 Okay. 372 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,600 I love this job. I don't like this one. I want to blow that one up. 373 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,800 Ah, yeah. 374 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,160 That's perfect for our experiment. I mean, that's just, that's ideal. 375 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,840 It's like a good one-inch, half-inch cake on all the fins. 376 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,360 The sudden turn of events seems to have affected Jamie. 377 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,640 This is wonderful in here. I'd like to live in here. 378 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280 It's sort of like 379 00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:25,680 some sort of psychedelic thing going on with the spirals and whatnot. It's uh, it's actually quite pretty. 380 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,240 Jamie lives in San Francisco. 381 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,680 This is the absolute perfect thing for this test because 382 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:38,560 you know, there are large areas that have built up, you know, three or four inches all over the interior. 383 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:44,880 And so if the explosion works the way it should, I'd anticipate all of that stuff just to be laying on the bottom when we come back to it. 384 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,160 Let's just go for whatever Jack's got left in the truck. 385 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,400 All right, loaded up. 386 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,040 Back at the Mexican jailbreak, Adam's off to a flyer. 387 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,600 Time for smoke. 388 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:06,160 Pumping lethal amounts of electricity into the salsa surrounding his bar, but Jamie's unimpressed. 389 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,920 He's practicing for his experience with the electric chair. 390 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,640 Oh, ah 391 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,880 Wow, hot burning salsa napalm. 392 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,400 He's just kind of watching sparks fly. It's not doing a damn thing on that bar. 393 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:25,440 Jamie's taunts find their target and Adam is burning to prove him wrong. 394 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:32,240 Yeah, you know what? It would be nice to actually, uh, it would be nice to beat Jamie at one of these games. Uh, I'm tired of losing. 395 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,880 Remember the myth of goldfish memory? 396 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,960 25 seconds. It's a record. 397 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,280 Mine are eating your own poo. 398 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,160 And how about the levitation machine? 399 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,880 I'm out. I'm out of ideas. 400 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,720 I just ran out just a second. 401 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,880 But Adam loves the smell of salsa burning in the morning. It smells like victory. 402 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,200 Oh, I'm still gonna kick Jamie's butt at this. 403 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,960 Though he's still on the starting blocks, Jamie has one big advantage over his rival. 404 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,040 Patience. 405 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,840 Think, then act. Don't act, then think. 406 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,520 In myth-busting, as in life, wise words indeed. 407 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,000 You only have the luxury of going so damn slow because I'm actually, you know, doing filmable work right now. 408 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,000 But that's okay. 409 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,360 What are you whining about? 410 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:28,160 Adam's going to complain a lot louder when he finds out what Jamie's got up his sleeve. 411 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,640 Due to my good behavior, as opposed to Adam, who's been spewing salsa everywhere, 412 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,200 uh, I've been granted the privilege of having a radio in my cell. 413 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,320 And this is going to form the basis of my escape attempt. 414 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,280 The theory is that if I take this radio apart and I find a DC transformer in here, 415 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,280 it's going to allow me to accelerate the corrosive process. 416 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,360 Jamie knows that only DC current will work in electrolysis. 417 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:59,200 Adam doesn't, which is why he's using AC current and simply cooking salsa. 418 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:02,800 Adam is using AC current, which has it going both ways. 419 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,320 And it's going to maybe take some metal off, but then it's going to put it back. 420 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,040 It'll take it off. 421 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,080 It'll put it back. 422 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,920 This approach, I believe, is going to be a lot more direct, direct current. 423 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,800 And we're going to accelerate the process a lot more. 424 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,520 Armed with his unshared knowledge, Jamie extracts the DC transformer 425 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,440 and creates an electrical circuit on his cold rolled steel bar. 426 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,400 There we go. 427 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,400 That looks pretty darn perfect to me. 428 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,080 Now for the salsa. 429 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,760 In electrolysis, electrons flow from the negatively charged steel rod 430 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:44,080 through the saline salsa solution and into the positively charged copper wire, causing corrosion. 431 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,840 So we are getting voltage, so I haven't blown the radio yet. 432 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,120 You know, it's working. 433 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:53,520 And I can see slow little bubbles forming in the middle of the salsa. 434 00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:00,080 It's exactly what I want, a slow flow of electrons away from the steel and into the copper wire. 435 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,240 We'll see what happens when we come in tomorrow. 436 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,240 Day seven. 437 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:08,880 What is this?

470 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,120 Blast danger!

490 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,240 To tell you the truth, if I were a cement truck driver and I had to clean out my truck, 491 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:20,800 I would probably try this first because jack hammering in here does not sound like a lot of fun. 492 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,680 Between using a stick of dynamite or a jack hammer, what would you use? 493 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,280 Well, if I happen to have a stick of dynamite laying around, I'd definitely use the dynamite. 494 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,880 That's a no brainer. 495 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,880 But what about Twister One with its barrel full of concrete?
