Hollywood gate-crash. 491 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:35,240 It flew open, and the car appeared to breeze through unharmed, or did it? 492 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:45,240 Let me tell you, if I was an action hero, having the airbags go off and the horn keep going would be pretty annoying. 493 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,240 It would be very distracting while you're driving. 494 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:54,240 Distracting, impractical, and dangerous, but as Grant proves, it's still drivable. 495 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,240 It doesn't handle as well as it used to. 496 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,240 Not the smoothest ride, but still works. 497 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,240 So, where does that leave us? 498 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,240 Well, it runs. 499 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,240 I don't want to call it confirmed because the airbag deployed. 500 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240 What if we call it plausible because a lot of older cars don't have airbags? 501 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,240 Good point. 502 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,240 Well, it looked like Hollywood, and you could still drive the car. 503 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,240 This one's plausible. 504 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,240 Plausible. 505 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,240 Plausible. 506 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,240 I'm not sure what this is. 507 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,240 I'm not sure what this is. 508 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,240 I'm not sure what this is. 509 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,240 I'm not sure what this is. 510 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,240 I'm not sure what this is. 511 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,240 I'm not sure what this is. 512 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,240 I'm not sure what this is. 513 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,240 I'm not sure what this is. 514 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,240 I'm not sure what this is. 515 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,240 I'm not sure what this is. 516 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,240 I'm not sure what this is. 517 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,240 I'm not sure what this is. 518 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,240 I'm not sure what this is. 519 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,240 I'm not sure what this is. 520 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,240 I'm not sure what this is. 521 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,240 I'm not sure what this is. 522 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,240 I'm not sure what this is. 523 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,240 I'm not sure what this is. 524 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,240 I'm not sure what this is. 525 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,240 I'm not sure what this is. 526 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,240 I'm not sure what this is. 527 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,240 I'm not sure what this is. 528 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,240 They look like they do in the Hollywood movies. 529 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,240 And after they're done crashing through whatever it is we're going to crash them through, 530 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,240 will they continue to run like they do in the movies. 531 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,240 Mr. Hemahar, you're wanting on set. 532 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,240 Grant? 533 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,240 Grant, I did not want to see that. 534 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,240 So just like the movie, the car and caravan is stalled across the highway, 535 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,240 and there's just time for a quick prediction. 536 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,240 What I think is in reality, 537 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,740 we're gonna see that car run into the frame of the RV. 538 00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:29,700 And that trailer just could go boom. 539 00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:32,660 It's not gonna punch through like you see in the movie. 540 00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:35,860 Don't want any unnecessary explosions. 541 00:23:35,860 --> 00:23:37,780 It's just gonna hit it and push it 542 00:23:37,780 --> 00:23:40,860 and there'll be a lot of destruction. 543 00:23:40,860 --> 00:23:42,100 Well, everything's good to go. 544 00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:44,060 You guys ready to see what happens in real life? 545 00:23:44,060 --> 00:23:44,900 Yeah. 546 00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:46,180 How do you feel about us using your trailer? 547 00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:47,340 You're not gonna hurt it, are you? 548 00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:48,180 It should be fine. 549 00:23:48,180 --> 00:23:50,140 Yeah, no problem. 550 00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:55,140 This is trailer destruction in three, two, one, hit it. 551 00:23:57,140 --> 00:24:01,140 10, 20, 30, 40. 552 00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:01,980 There it comes. 553 00:24:01,980 --> 00:24:04,980 You hit 60, 70 miles an hour. 554 00:24:04,980 --> 00:24:05,820 Woo! 555 00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:09,180 My trailer! 556 00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:11,540 Yeah! 557 00:24:11,540 --> 00:24:12,380 Ha ha! 558 00:24:12,380 --> 00:24:13,220 Oh! 559 00:24:13,220 --> 00:24:14,700 Oh! 560 00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:17,420 Yeah, there was nothing Hollywood about that. 561 00:24:17,420 --> 00:24:19,500 That was simply a car wreck. 562 00:24:20,220 --> 00:24:22,820 We completely destroyed that trailer. 563 00:24:22,820 --> 00:24:24,180 There was no hole punch. 564 00:24:24,180 --> 00:24:26,260 It was goodbye to the trailer. 565 00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:28,940 It is pretty flat. 566 00:24:28,940 --> 00:24:31,740 That's why we can never have anything nice. 567 00:24:31,740 --> 00:24:34,220 Don't worry, buddy, we'll put it back together. 568 00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:39,060 Grant's days as a pampered TV star have gone up in smoke. 569 00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:41,620 Crashes and fire, this is awesome. 570 00:24:41,620 --> 00:24:43,500 The trailer is trashed 571 00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:45,820 and the conclusions are quick to follow. 572 00:24:45,820 --> 00:24:47,940 That was a very spectacular crash, 573 00:24:47,940 --> 00:24:49,660 but it wasn't like in the movie 574 00:24:49,660 --> 00:24:52,900 where they just punch a clean hole through and keep going. 575 00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:55,820 And the car, it's not drivable 576 00:24:55,820 --> 00:24:58,020 and they're definitely not continuing their chase. 577 00:24:58,020 --> 00:24:58,860 Woo! 578 00:24:58,860 --> 00:24:59,700 Woo! 579 00:25:01,540 --> 00:25:02,500 That was awesome. 580 00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:03,580 The car hit the chassis 581 00:25:03,580 --> 00:25:05,940 and the trailer pretty much disappeared. 582 00:25:08,220 --> 00:25:10,300 But this myth is busted on both accounts. 583 00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:12,900 Not only did it not look like the Hollywood stunt, 584 00:25:15,260 --> 00:25:18,140 but the car was not drivable after the crash. 585 00:25:18,140 --> 00:25:19,940 So busted on both accounts. 586 00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:25,060 What the f*** was that? 587 00:25:27,540 --> 00:25:29,500 Oh, you're bananas, me mama. 588 00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:30,740 Sorry, it took me so long. 589 00:25:32,940 --> 00:25:33,780 Coming right up. 590 00:25:33,780 --> 00:25:34,620 Woo! 591 00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:36,020 Woo, that's so cool! 592 00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:38,180 Adam sticks the boot in. 593 00:25:38,180 --> 00:25:40,860 Then there's some lockpick lunacy. 594 00:25:40,860 --> 00:25:42,380 All right, Grant, close away. 595 00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:46,300 Please do not try what we do on the show at home. 596 00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:48,020 We're what you call experts. 597 00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:49,340 Stay safe. 598 00:25:49,340 --> 00:25:52,180 Back at the pool, Jamie and Adam are testing ways 599 00:25:52,180 --> 00:25:55,340 to escape a car that has plunged into depths. 600 00:25:55,340 --> 00:25:57,780 They've already discovered that if you wait for the cabin 601 00:25:57,780 --> 00:26:01,300 to fill with water so the differential pressure equalizes 602 00:26:01,300 --> 00:26:05,380 and releases its grip on the doors, it could be too late. 603 00:26:05,380 --> 00:26:08,460 Now they're going to try out a modified 604 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:09,700 survival technique. 605 00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:11,540 Oh, here we are, day two. 606 00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:15,780 The first maneuver on their cheating death checklist 607 00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:19,740 is to try and open the door before the car starts to sink. 608 00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:22,380 I figure for this particular technique to work, 609 00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:25,380 you need to do it right the minute you hit the water. 610 00:26:25,380 --> 00:26:28,460 If you hesitate, it's all over and you've got to ride it out. 611 00:26:28,460 --> 00:26:29,460 Here we go! 612 00:26:31,460 --> 00:26:35,260 Adam's plan of action is, I'm just going to try and get out 613 00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:36,260 of the car. 614 00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:39,860 Adam's plan of action is, I'm just going to wait until the water 615 00:26:39,860 --> 00:26:44,060 gets up to my ankles and then I'm going to try and open the door. 616 00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:46,060 Here we go. 617 00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:49,980 Oh man, that sound is so long. 618 00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:51,980 The water rushes in. 619 00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:56,580 Okay, I'm starting to see it on the floor and it's coming up 620 00:26:56,580 --> 00:26:57,580 to my ankles. 621 00:26:57,580 --> 00:26:59,980 Now I'm going to try and open the door. 622 00:26:59,980 --> 00:27:01,980 And Adam rushes out. 623 00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:05,700 Here we go! 624 00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:10,980 Surface exit via the door, totally viable. 625 00:27:10,980 --> 00:27:14,380 I waited until the water was up to the top of my shoes and I was 626 00:27:14,380 --> 00:27:16,780 still able to push this door open. 627 00:27:16,780 --> 00:27:19,500 The water rises slowly upwards. 628 00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:22,300 Next, he's going to wait until it gets to his waist. 629 00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:25,500 Okay, I passed my shoes, halfway up my shins. 630 00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:28,900 Alright, now I'm looking at, my God, it set my knees. 631 00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:30,900 I'm not going to be able to open the door. 632 00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:33,820 This one's no push over. 633 00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:36,820 As the water level climbs, so does the amount of pressure. 634 00:27:36,820 --> 00:27:41,820 And Adam has to brace himself against the opposite door to force it open. 635 00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:47,820 Ah! 636 00:27:47,820 --> 00:27:49,820 I was able to do it. 637 00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:51,820 But only just. 638 00:27:51,820 --> 00:27:53,820 This time he's going even higher. 639 00:27:53,820 --> 00:27:57,820 I'm going to wait until I see water hit the top of this window. 640 00:27:58,740 --> 00:28:02,740 And I'm going to use all my strength against the opposite door to try and push it open. 641 00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:06,740 Dude, I'm going to have dreams about this tonight. 642 00:28:06,740 --> 00:28:09,740 Alright, water's getting to the top of the window here. 643 00:28:09,740 --> 00:28:11,740 Alright, here we go. 644 00:28:11,740 --> 00:28:14,740 It's almost at the top, almost there. 645 00:28:14,740 --> 00:28:16,740 Three, two, one, go! 646 00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:21,740 The differential pressure on the other side of the door has become too strong and holds it shut. 647 00:28:23,740 --> 00:28:27,740 Adam gainly pushes back, but he's like a krill fighting a whale. 648 00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:32,740 It's not long before it's RIP for our little prestation. 649 00:28:37,740 --> 00:28:39,740 I think we found the cutoff point. 650 00:28:40,740 --> 00:28:45,740 Actually, the car, near the door after it hits the water, is a viable option. 651 00:28:45,740 --> 00:28:47,740 But you have a very small window. 652 00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:51,740 By the time you can see water halfway up the window, it's pretty much too late. 653 00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:57,660 Next, the team serves up a viewer mini-myth. 654 00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:05,660 So this one's being talked about by thousands of fans. 655 00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:09,660 There are mythical ways to open your car door locks when you don't have your keys. 656 00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:14,660 All you do is you take a tennis ball, you cut a hole in it, stick the hole over the car lock, 657 00:29:14,660 --> 00:29:16,660 and press it as hard as you can. 658 00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:19,660 And somehow, the air pressure will unlock your car door. 659 00:29:19,660 --> 00:29:23,580 This sounds just crazy, so why don't we just go ahead and try them? 660 00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:52,580 Okay, what do you got? 661 00:29:52,580 --> 00:29:55,580 Alright, so I looked at the video and she had cut a hole about this size. 662 00:29:55,580 --> 00:29:59,580 And what they're saying is the air pressure is opening up the car door lock. 663 00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:01,580 The pressure from the ball. 664 00:30:01,580 --> 00:30:04,580 Yeah, from the air pressure from inside the ball. 665 00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:10,580 So what I'm thinking is, if it's about air pressure, I cut another smaller hole in this tennis ball. 666 00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:14,580 And hopefully that will give us a stronger stream of air. 667 00:30:14,580 --> 00:30:16,580 That's all they need. 668 00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:18,580 Two tennis balls, two different air pressures. 669 00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:20,580 And of course, the lock. 670 00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:25,580 Okay, so just like in the video, electronic door lock. 671 00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:27,580 Go for it. 672 00:30:27,580 --> 00:30:29,580 Okay, so we'll do the big hole first. 673 00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:33,580 And she said, all you need to do is push it as hard as you can. 674 00:30:35,580 --> 00:30:38,580 Wow, it's not working. 675 00:30:38,580 --> 00:30:42,580 It looked like I'm doing it the same way. 676 00:30:42,580 --> 00:30:45,580 It's love one for the tennis ball. 677 00:30:45,580 --> 00:30:50,580 But perhaps the ball with the smaller hole and greater air pressure will pop the lock. 678 00:30:50,580 --> 00:30:52,580 You want to try the smaller hole? 679 00:30:52,580 --> 00:30:54,580 Yeah, go for it. 680 00:30:54,580 --> 00:30:56,580 Not exactly open sesame. 681 00:30:56,580 --> 00:30:59,580 That's game set and match for the car. 682 00:30:59,580 --> 00:31:03,580 But the team aren't ready to stop play just yet. 683 00:31:03,580 --> 00:31:09,580 So let's take apart what exactly you think people would think this works by. 684 00:31:09,580 --> 00:31:11,580 I think it's all about air pressure. 685 00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:16,580 All right, why don't we get the shop air and just shove it into the lock and blow. 686 00:31:16,580 --> 00:31:21,580 Make a complete seal around the key lock so see if air pressure can at all open the lock. 687 00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:23,580 Sounds like a plan. 688 00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:27,580 After all, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. 689 00:31:27,580 --> 00:31:31,580 With a perfect seal, they'll pump in 100 psi of shop air. 690 00:31:31,580 --> 00:31:34,580 And if anything is going to jimmy the lock, it's this. 691 00:31:34,580 --> 00:31:36,580 All right, Grant. 692 00:31:36,580 --> 00:31:37,580 Okay. 693 00:31:37,580 --> 00:31:38,580 Blows away. 694 00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:42,580 The ideal case for opening the lock with air pressure. 695 00:31:42,580 --> 00:31:46,580 Got compressed air and a really good seal. 696 00:31:46,580 --> 00:31:47,580 Ready? 697 00:31:49,580 --> 00:31:56,580 Despite pumping in more than 10 times the air pressure of the tennis ball, the car stays secure. 698 00:31:56,580 --> 00:31:58,580 Well, I think that was pretty definitive. 699 00:31:58,580 --> 00:32:02,580 Sorry, viewers, but the tennis ball opening the car lock is busted. 700 00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:07,580 And even ideal seal air pressure won't open the car lock. 701 00:32:07,580 --> 00:32:11,580 I think we should show the viewers how we think they did it in the video. 702 00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:16,580 Carrie puts the tennis ball to the lock and, hey presto, the door unlocks. 703 00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:19,580 But it's not the tennis ball. 704 00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:23,580 It's actually Tori behind the camera with the key. 705 00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:28,580 Just goes to show, and this is important, you can't believe everything you see on the Internet. 706 00:32:33,580 --> 00:32:39,580 Coming up, we test every survival technique for escaping from a car that you've driven off the bridge. 707 00:32:46,580 --> 00:32:53,580 If you land your car into a lake, you can't get out alive unless you open a door at precisely the right moment. 708 00:32:53,580 --> 00:32:56,580 So is there another window of opportunity? 709 00:32:57,580 --> 00:33:02,580 So we know it's pretty much impossible to open the door once the car is submerged in underwater. 710 00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:06,580 The question everyone asks after that is, well, why didn't you open the window? 711 00:33:06,580 --> 00:33:09,580 That's what I'm going to do, a shop test to find out. 712 00:33:09,580 --> 00:33:13,580 I have one electrically powered window and I have one manual powered window. 713 00:33:13,580 --> 00:33:17,580 I'm going to put them under the same kind of strain that they'd experience underwater and try and open them. 714 00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:25,580 The 350 pounds Adam is adding is equivalent to the pressure the window would be under at a depth of just two feet. 715 00:33:26,580 --> 00:33:34,580 I do not know of a more visual way to make clear how much pressure you're dealing with when you put things underwater. 716 00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:37,580 Then he tries to crank it open. 717 00:33:37,580 --> 00:33:42,580 I should point out, I'm in a really good position for leverage to open this window. 718 00:33:42,580 --> 00:33:44,580 There's not even a sliver of a crack. 719 00:33:44,580 --> 00:33:45,580 There it goes. 720 00:33:46,580 --> 00:33:47,580 It just failed. 721 00:33:49,580 --> 00:33:51,580 Yeah, the gear just slipped. 722 00:33:51,580 --> 00:33:58,580 Under that kind of pressure, there's so much force pushing the glass against the frame of the car that the manual lever is going to break. 723 00:33:58,580 --> 00:34:04,580 Maybe electric windows have more power, but the common perception is they don't even work underwater. 724 00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:13,580 This is the electric door and the first thing I want to do is dump the electric door in this container with the battery and see how long the electrics hold out for. 725 00:34:13,580 --> 00:34:14,580 Okay, here we go. 726 00:34:15,580 --> 00:34:17,580 Batteries on the bottom. 727 00:34:17,580 --> 00:34:19,580 They let it steep. 728 00:34:22,580 --> 00:34:27,580 After 45 minutes, surprisingly, it's still going strong. 729 00:34:29,580 --> 00:34:37,580 You shouldn't be counting on the electric still, I open up the electric window, but it certainly doesn't short out immediately like I thought it would. 730 00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:42,580 So it's not out of the question that power windows could still work underwater. 731 00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:45,580 But what about the effect of differential pressure? 732 00:34:46,580 --> 00:34:47,580 You ready? 733 00:34:47,580 --> 00:34:48,580 Uh-huh. 734 00:34:49,580 --> 00:34:56,580 The force of 350 pounds pressing down on the glass is a real burden. 735 00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:57,580 Now it's not budging. 736 00:34:57,580 --> 00:34:58,580 You can see it flux. 737 00:34:58,580 --> 00:35:01,580 Yeah, you can see it trying, but it ain't going nowhere. 738 00:35:01,580 --> 00:35:06,580 So with electric or manual windows, neither would you. 739 00:35:06,580 --> 00:35:11,580 Automatic windows, you are just as screwed as you are with manual windows. 740 00:35:11,580 --> 00:35:15,580 350 pounds of pressure, that's only two feet underwater. 741 00:35:15,580 --> 00:35:18,580 It's like the bare minimum you'd be encountering. 742 00:35:18,580 --> 00:35:24,580 As long as there's still air in the cabin of the car, you would not be able to open this window. 743 00:35:24,580 --> 00:35:28,580 But Adam isn't prepared to expire a third time. 744 00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:34,580 Now that we know you can't open that window because of the pressure, the question remains as to how to open that window. 745 00:35:34,580 --> 00:35:36,580 And I'd say you break it. 746 00:35:36,580 --> 00:35:38,580 The question is how? 747 00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:46,580 Their plan is to try to break the glass using various items you'd likely have within your reach inside a submerged vehicle. 748 00:35:46,580 --> 00:35:48,580 For starters, keys. 749 00:35:49,580 --> 00:35:50,580 Alright, you ready? 750 00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:51,580 Go for it. 751 00:35:53,580 --> 00:35:56,580 Adam smacks the glass, but it doesn't crack. 752 00:36:00,580 --> 00:36:02,580 I'm actually able to get a good solid hit on that. 753 00:36:02,580 --> 00:36:04,580 Nothing. I'd say keys are busted. 754 00:36:04,580 --> 00:36:07,580 Next on call, a cell phone. 755 00:36:07,580 --> 00:36:10,580 You're just bounding for your life. 756 00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:15,580 You're screwed. 757 00:36:17,580 --> 00:36:20,580 Then Adam suits up for another attempt. 758 00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:28,580 So Adam, this is like you've just stolen a car and you got a little carried away and escaping the cops and now you're underwater so you're in trouble. 759 00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:30,580 Is that my motivation? 760 00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:31,580 Yeah. 761 00:36:32,580 --> 00:36:36,580 So busting an escape hole might be possible with steel-toed boots. 762 00:36:37,580 --> 00:36:39,580 Woo! Woo! That's so cool! 763 00:36:39,580 --> 00:36:42,580 Okay, I'm gonna get to kicking this window out right away. 764 00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:49,580 But the window doesn't crumble. 765 00:36:49,580 --> 00:36:54,580 If he had just carried out his community service sentence, he would have lived. 766 00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:56,580 Nothing. 767 00:36:56,580 --> 00:36:57,580 Nothing? 768 00:36:57,580 --> 00:36:58,580 Nope. 769 00:36:58,580 --> 00:37:04,580 None of the items that would be laying around randomly in your car worked for us to break a window. 770 00:37:04,580 --> 00:37:08,580 So we get to try the commercially available ones. 771 00:37:08,580 --> 00:37:13,580 This is a hammer thing with a point on it and this is a spring-loaded punch. 772 00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:17,580 They try the underwater emergency hammer first. 773 00:37:19,580 --> 00:37:20,580 Oh! 774 00:37:20,580 --> 00:37:21,580 What a difference. 775 00:37:21,580 --> 00:37:22,580 Wow! 776 00:37:22,580 --> 00:37:23,580 One hit. 777 00:37:24,580 --> 00:37:26,580 That was instantaneous. 778 00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:28,580 Probably darn well. 779 00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:29,580 That works. 780 00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:33,580 Amazing.
