1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,300 on this episode of mythbusters 2 00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:05,660 all right we are ready to board 3 00:00:05,660 --> 00:00:09,300 it's all aboard for an aviation revolution 4 00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,480 in an orderly fashion 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,940 Adam and Jamie turn air travel upside down 6 00:00:15,940 --> 00:00:17,820 apparently it saves time 7 00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:21,060 when they ask is the standard back-to-front boarding system 8 00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:25,240 really the slowest buckle up because it's gonna get bumpy 9 00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:28,280 turbulence 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,520 then Harry Grant and Tory slug it out 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,760 don't try this at home we're what you call compression 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,880 to get to the root of a dental ballistic mystery 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,000 here you go, tooth bullet 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000 are bio bullets deadly or duds? 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,920 and will they fox a forensic expert? 16 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,400 after the pathologist 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,400 by leaving no evidence for the autopsy 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,080 who are the mythbusters? 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,280 Adam Savage 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,960 eating food cooked with C4 21 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,320 and Jamie Heineman 22 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,480 this is gonna kill you 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,080 between them more than 30 years of special effects experience 24 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,960 joining them 25 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:09,960 Tory Boleci 26 00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:11,480 we're gonna die 27 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,520 Carrie Byron 28 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,880 right to the job 29 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,720 and Grant Imahara 30 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,560 who wants some? 31 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,960 they don't just tell the myths 32 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,960 they put them to the test 33 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,080 first up Adam and Jamie are tackling the nation's vexation with aviation 34 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,080 pop quiz Jamie how do you board an airplane? 35 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,080 I walk 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,080 no not so specific 37 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,080 how do you and the other passengers get on an airplane? 38 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,080 we walk 39 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,080 this is not a trick question just how do people board an airplane? 40 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,080 in zones? 41 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,080 exactly in zones specifically from back to front 42 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,080 and there's a myth going around 43 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080 the standard way almost all airlines use to board their planes 44 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,080 from back to front 45 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,080 is in fact the slowest and least efficient way 46 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,080 to get people on to an airplane 47 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,080 well that sounds like something we need to investigate 48 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,080 that's exactly what I was thinking 49 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,080 in the US in 2011 50 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,080 over 700 million passengers checked in 51 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,080 sat down, buckled up and took off 52 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,080 their number one complaint 53 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,080 the waiting around 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,080 but Adam and Jamie want to know if the standard method of boarding is to blame 55 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,080 have the airlines got it back to front with back to front boarding 56 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,080 is it really the worst way of getting up, up and away? 57 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,080 well it looks like we need a plane and a couple of hundred volunteer passengers 58 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,080 and we need a bunch of boarding methods 59 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,080 well I can think of at least three or four up the top of my head 60 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,080 alright sounds like we should run some volunteers through their paces 61 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,080 see which one is the most efficient 62 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,080 let's buckle down and do it 63 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,080 it's off to a spectacular location 64 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,080 so we've come to the Mayor Island Naval Base 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,080 about an hour from the Myth Buster shop 66 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,080 right there's pretty good 67 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,080 this building I'm standing in used to be a storage facility for outfitting boats 68 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,080 and it's over a hundred years old 69 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,080 but for us today it is our mocked up airplane hangar 70 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,080 the first part of the plan to be put into place is a base to build on 71 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,080 it's going to be a nice set 72 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,080 once their plywood platform is given a coat of paint or two 73 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,080 it's ready for the all-important structural components 74 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,080 just lean them up against the wall there 75 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,080 and the frame for the overhead compartments is tack welded into a structure capable 76 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,080 of supporting the baggage for a plain load of passengers 77 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,080 and a well-oiled Myth Busters machine 78 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,080 good, okay 79 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,080 means the metal skeletal components are raised well before the tray tables are even stoned 80 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,080 it's only about 90 minutes in 81 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,080 and the steel frame is pretty much up 82 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,080 it has to support both our lighting and most importantly the overhead bins 83 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,080 and when you consider the 173 people are all going to be putting their luggage in them at the same time 84 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,080 it pretty much has to do with an airplane has to do 85 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,080 and that's a lot 86 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,080 with the steel superstructure solid 87 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,080 up goes the first of the recycled overhead luggage bins 88 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,080 there we go 89 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,080 zip ties 90 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080 and with a burst of fast forward 91 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,080 up goes the last 92 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,080 beautiful let's put in the chairs 93 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:24,080 the seating also recycle from a real plane is brought in and secured 94 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,080 replicating the layout of an average mid-sized airliner 95 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,080 there we go 96 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,080 first class is in 97 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,080 next up goes the departure lounge 98 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,080 with a curtain-off gangway and even a fake ticket scanner 99 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,080 it doesn't beep but I can go like this 100 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,080 boop 101 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,080 thank you 102 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,080 boop 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,080 thank you 104 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,080 boop 105 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,080 which means myth bust air is ready for its maiden flight that won't leave the ground 106 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,080 as you can see everything's ready 107 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,080 our departure lounge is good to go 108 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,080 and our plane is nearly ready 109 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,080 all it needs is some passengers 110 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,080 welcome 111 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,080 open wide because next up is a tall tale of deadly dentistry 112 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080 what's with that smile 113 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,080 we're testing a myth about teeth 114 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,080 okay go on 115 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,080 all right remember when we tested ice bullet 116 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,080 how it was the perfect assassination tool 117 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,080 because you could never trace the bullet 118 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,080 oh yeah it was busted but the idea was that the bullet would melt and there'd be no evidence 119 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,080 yep it's similar except instead of an ice bullet it's a tooth bullet 120 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,080 now the myth says it has enough mass for penetration and accuracy 121 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,080 but the best part is once it hits its target it breaks up into little fragments 122 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,080 oh that's brilliant because when the pathologist goes to look at it they find the entrance wound 123 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,080 and inside it's this shattered bone that could be the guy's own bone 124 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,080 yeah but could a tooth bullet really be accurate penetrate and fool a pathologist 125 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,080 don't know but that's what we're gonna test 126 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,080 cool 127 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,080 it's an intriguing firearm fabled with a ballistic bite 128 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,080 the team want to know if you can make a viable bullet from a human tooth 129 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,080 supposedly dental projectiles are aerodynamically accurate 130 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,080 they have a lethal penetrating power and they shatter on impact 131 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,080 that can't be detected by even the foremost forensic pathologist 132 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,080 so the myth doesn't actually state what kind of ammunition the teeth are made into 133 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080 so I say we test various guns 134 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,080 great and we'll put them through series of challenges versus irregular bullet counterparts 135 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,080 and ultimately we're gonna need some human teeth 136 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,080 okay 137 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,080 oh there's one two 138 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,080 carry 139 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,080 got any more in there 140 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,080 so this myth is all about turning teeth into bullets 141 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,080 step one 142 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,080 acquire some teeth 143 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,080 these are actual human teeth that have been extracted that were given to us by a dentist 144 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,080 these are canines and molars 145 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,080 we're gonna carve these up and hopefully fit them into bullet casings 146 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,080 hi 147 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,080 now making a tooth into a bullet we're faced with some really unique tooth anatomy 148 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080 because we really want this to be as hard as it can be 149 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080 now the enamel is the hard part but this is just the shell 150 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,080 then you start getting into the dentson and the pulp 151 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,080 that's where it's gonna get weaker and weaker 152 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,080 so we don't actually want to compromise the integrity of the tooth by grinding it down 153 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,080 but we also have to actually make these teeth fit into the shells 154 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,080 this is gonna be quite a difficult experiment 155 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,080 it's clearly going to be tricky but what's the plan 156 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,080 for this experiment we're gonna be using three different types of rounds 157 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Tori's gonna be adapting the shotgun shell 158 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,080 Kerry's gonna work with the handgun round 159 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,080 and I am going to work with the rifle round 160 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,080 the myth doesn't specify the gun and ammo 161 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,080 it simply states that a bullet made from a tooth will fool a pathologist 162 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,080 smells like the dentist 163 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,080 so the team will test three options 164 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,080 Tori will re-engineer a shotgun shell with teeth instead of lead shot 165 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,080 I can't wait to sink my teeth into this myth 166 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Grant will add a little bite to a rifle round 167 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,080 and Kerry will modify a handgun round with a molar 168 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,080 okay so I'm pulling the 38 bullets out of the cartridge 169 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,080 replacing the powder and then replacing the bullets with a tooth 170 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,080 I'm using a small silicone bead to seat it and to seal the top of the bullet 171 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,080 Kerry thinks retaining as much hard enamel as possible is crucial 172 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,080 so she's decided not to shape her handgun bullets 173 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,080 the downside will be with accuracy 174 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,080 meanwhile, Grant has a different strategy 175 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,080 he thinks shaping the teeth for maximum aerodynamic accuracy is essential 176 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,080 so I'm grinding around the edge of the tooth 177 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:55,080 and this is so that it can fit inside of the jacket a little bit deeper 178 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:01,080 and then I'll seal around the edges with some epoxy and then the powder of course will be inside here 179 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,080 and when it's done, it's gonna look something like that 180 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,080 Tori on the other hand has it slightly easier 181 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,080 now Kerry and Grant have a hard job because they actually have to make a bullet out of a tooth 182 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,080 this is like pulling teeth 183 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,080 me, I don't have to modify my teeth, why? 184 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,080 because I'm gonna be using a shotgun shell 185 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,080 now, this is a cross-section of a shotgun shell 186 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,080 what we have here is our charge 187 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,080 this is our plug and this is our shot 188 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,080 now once this sets off, the pressure builds up 189 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,080 it pushes the plug, sending the shot towards the target 190 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,080 you know what time it is? 191 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,080 it's 2.30 192 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:41,080 all I need to do is replace the shot with teeth and take my shot 193 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,080 back over with Grant 194 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,080 there you go, tooth bullet 195 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,080 and he's got his rifle rounds ready to roll 196 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,080 he's also got a plan B 197 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,080 B for Bone 198 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,080 okay, so what I needed was the biggest bone we could find that was readily available 199 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,080 and this cow femur was left over from a butcher shop 200 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,080 see if I can get a bullet out of it 201 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,080 of course, the myth is about teeth 202 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,080 oh, we have juices 203 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,080 but Grant is going with the spirit of the myth 204 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,080 and that's a bullet made of biological material that will disintegrate on impact 205 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,080 and the benefit of bone is that it can be shaped more effectively than the teeth 206 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,080 for a more aerodynamic result 207 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,080 my mast piece is complete 208 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,080 Carrie is also finished, but she's still feeling skeptical 209 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,080 so I'm done with my 38 very special bullets 210 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,080 but the teeth don't have the same mass as the original bullets 211 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,080 so they're not going to have the same destructive force 212 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,080 they also aren't symmetrical 213 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,080 so I have a feeling accuracy is going to be a serious issue 214 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,080 still, your teeth bullets, it's cool 215 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,080 it's a frustrating constant of commercial airline travel 216 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,080 boarding the plane always seems to take longer than it should 217 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,080 but is it down to the back to front boarding system? 218 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:12,080 is it true that the method favored by most airlines is the least effective? 219 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:19,080 to find out, Captain Savage and co-pilot Heinemann have replicated a commercial boarding scenario 220 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,080 with a team of real flight attendants 221 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,080 here's how this is going to go down 222 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,080 every single one of our myth bust air test passengers will be issued a ticket 223 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080 just like this one with a specific seat assignment 224 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,080 and they will board the plane through our gate right here 225 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,080 as they come aboard, our cabin manager Silvia will check them in 226 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,080 and send them on their way to the correct seat 227 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,080 the rest of our cabin crew will be stationed just as they would be on a real airplane 228 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,080 assisting the passengers in stowing their luggage 229 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,080 when the luggage is stowed and everybody's properly seated 230 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,080 the flight attendants will call time and the boarding is complete 231 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,080 we'll be assessing each of our boarding techniques on two main metrics 232 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,080 the first one being how the boarding method felt to the passengers 233 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,080 so as our test subjects deplane from each test 234 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,080 we will ask them to vote here on how the test felt to them 235 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,080 whether they thought it was great, just okay, or in fact... 236 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,080 terrible 237 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,080 and the second part of the monitoring will be done by me 238 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,080 up here with his timer 239 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,080 and that'll determine how long the test took 240 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,080 what about people who gum up the works you ask? 241 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,080 I'm glad you mentioned that 242 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,080 in about 5% of our ticket envelopes and consistent across all of our tests 243 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,080 we've included instructions for some of our test subjects to behave 244 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,080 just like those passengers who do slow boarding down 245 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,080 the personality types we've identified are 246 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,080 parents with tiny children 247 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,080 people who go to the bathroom during boarding 248 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,080 and have to swim upstream to get back to their seat 249 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,080 people who sit in the wrong seat 250 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,080 and people with suit coats who meticulously fold them in the aisle 251 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,080 before putting them on their luggage 252 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,080 we've literally thought of everything we could imagine 253 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,080 so if we're gonna be testing a bunch of different ways to board an airplane 254 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,080 we're gonna need an entire airplane's worth of volunteers 255 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080 well as it happens we've got some 256 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,080 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 257 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,080 they don't seem that thrilled 258 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,080 no, I don't blame them 259 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,080 the first test is the control 260 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,080 supposedly the slowest of all systems 261 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,080 this test is the one that people are most familiar with 262 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,080 it's called the back to front method 263 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,080 check out this graphic 264 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,080 using assigned seats 265 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,080 once they've loaded business class 266 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,080 then they load the back third 267 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,080 the middle third and the front third 268 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,080 hello 269 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,080 how you guys doing? 270 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,080 alright, Jamie start 271 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,080 welcome to myth bust air flight 3.1415927 272 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,080 we are ready to begin pre-boarding 273 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,080 parents with children and business class passengers 274 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,080 may now board the airplane 275 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,080 step up to the gate and hand over your ticket 276 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,080 with the clock ticking the boarding commences 277 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,080 this is awesome 278 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,080 and it really couldn't be better 279 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,080 you guys need any help? are you okay? 280 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,080 you okay? alright, welcome aboard 281 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,080 the gangway and replica plane interior 282 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,080 ensure everything proceeds exactly as it would 283 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,080 during a standard back to front boarding 284 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,080 if you are seated in rows 20 through 30 285 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,080 you may now board the plane 286 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,080 rows 20 through 30 board the plane 287 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,080 welcome 288 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,080 the advantages of the replica setup soon become clear 289 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,080 the open-sided structure allows full access to the cameras 290 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,080 and we can really see how the boarding is progressing 291 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,080 alright, we are now ready to board rows 10 through 19 292 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,080 if you are on row 10 through 19 293 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,080 you may now start to board the airplane 294 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,080 once the plane is almost full 295 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,080 familiar pre-flight patterns emerge 296 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,080 hello, 2019 297 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080 there's a backlog of passengers on the gangway 298 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,080 passengers in aisle seats have to get up to allow access to the middle and window seats 299 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,080 and inevitably there's plenty of carry-on luggage 300 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,080 too large to fit in the overhead compartments 301 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,080 we're gate checking bags, that's awesome 302 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,080 I have to admit I was kind of shocked by how much gate checked luggage there was 303 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,080 but according to the flight attendants it's pretty average 304 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,080 there's no space 305 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,080 okay, what's your final destination? Springfield 306 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,080 okay, I'll get that tacky 307 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,080 okay, thanks 308 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,080 it's not just excess baggage delaying departure 309 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,080 the wild cards also gum up the works in a realistic way 310 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,080 but eventually everyone is seated and the plane is ready for takeoff 311 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,080 stop Jamie 312 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,080 but what's the damage? 313 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,080 from the time that boarding was announced to the time that the last bin was closed 314 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,080 for back to front boarding it was 24 minutes and 29 seconds 315 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,080 now that's a fairly common method of boarding 316 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080 and that'll form our baseline for the other tests 317 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080 the time is of course crucial for that comparison 318 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,080 but so is customer satisfaction 319 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,080 let's see what we've got 320 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,080 alright 321 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,080 each positive experience is scored plus one 322 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,080 a terrible vote is minus one and each neutral okay is zero 323 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,080 which for back to front gives a final tally of plus 19 324 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,080 but the score and time don't mean anything on their own 325 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,080 comparisons are required 326 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,080 so to find out if the myth will soar or crash land 327 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,080 captain Savage will need to log a few more bumpy flights 328 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,080 Carrie Grant and Tory are testing the myth 329 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,080 bite the bullet 330 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,080 supposedly a bullet made from a fang 331 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,080 fragments on impact leaving no evidence for a forensic pathologist 332 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,080 to sink their teeth into 333 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,080 don't try this at home 334 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,080 we're what you call professionals 335 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,080 to assess this ballistic mystery 336 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080 Carrie Grant and Tory have made biological bullets 337 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,080 for a variety of guns 338 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,080 you guys ready to bite the bullet 339 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,080 but before they take on the medical examiner 340 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,080 they want to know will their bullets even work 341 00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:00,080 will they have lethal penetration and aerodynamic accuracy 342 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,080 for our accuracy test we're going to be at a common standoff distance 343 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,080 we're going to fire our revolver 344 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,080 our shotgun 345 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,080 and our 308 rifle 346 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,080 and our targets 347 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,080 we're going to shoot at ourselves in an alternative universe 348 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,080 where the dentistry is questionable 349 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,080 do my teeth really look like that 350 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,080 this is a 357 magnum revolver 351 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,080 we're going to be firing 38 special rounds 352 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,080 giving us a muzzle velocity of approximately 800 feet per second 353 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,080 going up 354 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,080 now the plan for our accuracy test 355 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,080 is to fire off three lead bullets in a row 356 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,080 oh nice that's a really tight group 357 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,080 and then fire off our tooth bullet 358 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,080 and see how far that is from the cluster 359 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,080 that grouping is the accuracy benchmark 360 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,080 okay we're high 361 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,080 for the hang-on tooth bullet to have a chance to fool the pathologist 362 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,080 it first has to hit the target 363 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,080 alright here we go in three, two, one, fire 364 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,080 swing and a miss 365 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,080 man 366 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,080 Carrie's decision to retain the enamel 367 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,080 and not smooth the tooth surface has come back to bite her 368 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,080 the poor aerodynamics meant that from just 21 feet 369 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080 it missed by quite a distance 370 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,080 so the hang-on has fallen at the first hurdle 371 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,080 but what's next? 372 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,080 what I have here is a 12 gauge pump shotgun 373 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,080 it fires rounds at 1200 feet per second 374 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,080 going hot 375 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,080 now unlike the pistol or the rifle 376 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,080 it's not a pinpoint accurate weapon 377 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,080 it hits an area 378 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,080 so in order for us to call our tee shot accurate 379 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,080 it has to hit the same area as our buck shot 380 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,080 look at that 381 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,080 shot him in the nostril 382 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,080 that's a good group 383 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,080 that's about a 10 inch group right there 384 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,080 that's the benchmark 385 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,080 let's see what the teeth filled shell can do 386 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,080 alright this is 12 gauge teeth shot 387 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,080 accuracy test 388 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,080 going hot 389 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,080 alright here we go 390 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,080 eyes and ears 391 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,080 in teeth 392 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,080 three, two, one 393 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,080 let's see how close they got to the buck shot 394 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,080 not bad, not bad 395 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,080 you know what I think we have to give it to the teeth 396 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,080 because they hit in the same area as the buck shot 397 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,080 yeah that's a really tight group 398 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,080 that's great 399 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,080 that's a success 400 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,080 in a weapon designed to fire it's shot over a short distance 401 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,080 the teeth more or less match the real thing 402 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,080 and that means unlike the hang-on 403 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,080 the shotgun has qualified for the next stage 404 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,080 but before that it's Grant and a big gun 405 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,080 next up the rifle accuracy test 406 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,080 we're going to be firing a 308 round out of this rifle 407 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,080 at a standard distance of 25 yards 408 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,080 then we're going to load up the tooth bullet 409 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,080 and see how close we can come to that target 410 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080 tooth bullet in the rifle 411 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,080 in three, two, one 412 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,080 with over 10 times the power of the hang-on 413 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,080 the extra powder in the round destroyed the tooth bullet 414 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,080 before it even left the rifle's barrel 415 00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:00,080 which is the scenario Grant feared when he came up with his plan B 416 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,080 see this? 417 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,080 this is my secret weapon 418 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,080 his bullet made of bone 419 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,080 safety's off we're hot 420 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,080 looks like Grant's been boning up 421 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,080 alright here we go bone bullet 422 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,080 in the rifle 423 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,080 and what do you know 424 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,080 it's slightly off the original but it's in the ballpark 425 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,080 we hit it 426 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,080 hey hey hey 427 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,080 that's actually not bad for this range 428 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,080 you know what this is actually pretty promising for the myth 429 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,080 let's see how the bone bullet does on the penetration test 430 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,080 absolutely bone bullet 431 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,080 so far this myth is looking pretty good 432 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,080 now we didn't have much accuracy with the pistol and the tooth bullet 433 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,080 with the shotgun and the tee shot 434 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,080 and the bone bullet with the rifle we had very good accuracy 435 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,080 so we can say that this is a viable ammunition 436 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,080 but it's time to see how well they penetrate once they hit their target 437 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,080 so far Carrie Grant and Tori have tested the accuracy of their bio bullets 438 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,080 the handgun and rifle fangs failed at the first hurdle 439 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,080 swing and a miss 440 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,080 but the shotgun shell and bone bullet were a success 441 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,080 not bad not bad 442 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,080 the next question to be faced is will they penetrate with a lethal impact 443 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:25,080 so back down at the gun range to test the bio bullets for a lethal penetration 444 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,080 the guys will once again compare them to the real thing 445 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,080 for this test we're taking accuracy out of the equation 446 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,080 we're going to fire at close range into the gelatin 447 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,080 now we know that the actual bullets are going to do more damage 448 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,080 physics tells us they have more mass 449 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,080 they have more power 450 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,080 but the question is can these crazy bullets actually do enough damage 451 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,080 to make them a viable round 452 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,080 the answer to that question will come if the bone bullet and teeth filled shotgun shell 453 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:58,080 have enough energy to penetrate the ballistics gel deeper than four inches 454 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,080 that's the benchmark experts deem to be a lethal hit 455 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,080 and the benchmark for success in this test 456 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,080 first up is the 12-gauge shotgun with a standard shell 457 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,080 alright here we go in three, two, one 458 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080 it looked like it passed right through and I saw it hit the back of the bird 459 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,080 it jumped 460 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,080 with a muzzle velocity of 1800 feet per second 461 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,080 the spray of buckshot really packs a penetrative punch 462 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,080 exit, exit, exit, exit, they all came all the way through 463 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,080 I love the shotgun, let's see what the teeth can do 464 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,080 alright 465 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:42,080 the question is will they match the real thing or at least punch a lethal four inch hole 466 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,080 here we go in three, two, one 467 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,080 a close inspection reveals that not only did it not match the real round 468 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:56,080 and penetrate clean through but it also failed to beat that four inch benchmark 469 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,080 inch and a half 470 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,080 alright so even at close range this is not an effective assassination round 471 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,080 yeah I mean the regular buckshot passed all the way through the ballistics gel 472 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,080 this only went in a couple inches 473 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,080 the team decides that while it may not be lethal it would certainly cause severe injury 474 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,080 and that's good enough to take it onto the next round just barely 475 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,080 okay so the shotgun didn't give us that four inch lethal penetration that we were looking for 476 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,080 but after looking at the high speed we're going to give it the benefit of the doubt 477 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,080 because it can give us six to seven hits that penetrated two inches 478 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:34,080 now combining that trauma the victim could potentially be sent to the pathologist's slab 479 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,080 so the shotgun squeaked past the penetration test by the skin of its teeth 480 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,080 and it's time to up the ante 481 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:48,080 the massive muzzle velocity of 2800 feet per second might pack the punch required 482 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:54,080 so just like the shotgun we're going to be firing the rifle from the minimum possible range 483 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,080 and for this weapon that's 10 feet 484 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,080 any closer in the pressure wave would actually disturb the ballistics gel 485 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,080 and it's no surprise 486 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,080 when the control round blasts clean through 487 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,080 well then I think it might have done a backflip 488 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,080 remember Grant's bone bullet doesn't have to match that devastating level of destruction 489 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:22,080 because the projectile just has to penetrate to four inches to be deemed lethal 490 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,080 here we go in three two one 491 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,080 alright let's see how far it went in 492 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,080 oh no it went in that far 493 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,080 that is not a lethal shot at all 494 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080 at just two inches it's another non-lethal shot 495 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,080 but Tori isn't surprised because even their biggest bio bullet has a weight problem 496 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,080 so we just took the shot and it did not go that far into the blitz-schick's gel 497 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,080 but that's not a big surprise because as we know kinetic energy 498 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,080 is one half times mass times velocity squared 499 00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:01,080 now since we don't have the mass or the velocity we don't have the energy for that tooth to penetrate that deep 500 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,080 but all is not lost because back at the shop the guys are beefing up their bone bullets 501 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,080 the science says that bigger is better 502 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:16,080 so with a super-sized bone slug will they finally get the penetration this myth needs 503 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,080 now I made the bone bullet much larger this is going to give us more mass for more penetration power 504 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,080 hopefully this will give us a lethal shot 505 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:30,080 and outside in the bulletproof bunker the proof will be in a fresh ballistics gel pudding 506 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,080 in three two one 507 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:39,080 in real time there seems to be more gel jiggling but there's only one measure that counts 508 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,080 look at that we have bone fragments six inches deep 509 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,080 yes the extra mass made all the difference 510 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,080 this is a success alright next step we got to do is test out on our human analog 511 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,080 alright so the shotgun and now the rifle have passed the accuracy and penetration tests 512 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,080 and that means next up can the team get away with murder 513 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,080 for this test we've set everything up exactly like it would be on a real airplane 514 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,080 from the dimensions of the plane to using real seats 515 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:20,080 and given the fact that stowing luggage and hand luggage is a very time-consuming part of that process 516 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,080 we're using genuine overhead bins 517 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:28,080 we strive for accuracy in all of our tests that's why in setting this up we 518 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,080 I'm ready to come out now 519 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:43,080 Adam and Jamie already have a back to front baseline but there's a whole barrage of boarding baloney still to come 520 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:48,080 and next up families with small children in business class may board the plane now 521 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,080 is the perfect method to contrast with the control 522 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,080 test number two and that's no system at all 523 00:26:55,080 --> 00:27:00,080 next on the menu is a semi-random boarding method in which people have assigned seats 524 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,080 but we are only boarding in two groups that is business class and everybody else 525 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,080 I'm just kind of curious about how this one's going to turn out 526 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,080 we are going to board all rows all seats 527 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,080 all rows all seats may now board the plane 528 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,080 over there 529 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,080 whoa whoa whoa your seat 530 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,080 each passenger has an assigned seat and there are the usual wildcards like jacket folders 531 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,080 but other than that it simply first come first boarded 532 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:36,080 we wanted to make sure we set this test up that people would be likely to behave in the way that they would in the airport 533 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,080 can we get some order here? 534 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,080 line up please 535 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,080 line line please 536 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,080 for the random test it seems to be the case as soon as I called all seats all rows 537 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,080 everyone ran to the front of the counter to board the plane 538 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,080 one line thank you 539 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,080 that is exactly the kind of behavior I would expect to see in an airport 540 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,080 it's awesome that we got an experiment 541 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,080 aside from the rush to board first there don't seem to be any issues 542 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,080 hi are you my last passenger? 543 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,080 and the passengers found their assigned seats in a surprisingly short amount of time 544 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,080 so this test was random once first class and parents with small children had boarded 545 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,080 and it came in at 17 minutes which is pretty quick 546 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,080 you guys may now de-play 547 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,080 that's an astonishing 8 minutes faster than the control 548 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,080 but remember time isn't the only factor 549 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,080 each passenger gets to vote on the overall experience 550 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,080 on the last test they were almost all okay 551 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,080 in this test they're either loving them or hating them 552 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,080 because we're either getting great or terrible 553 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,080 the random boarding clearly polarized opinion 554 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,080 but despite the significantly faster time when the votes are tallied 555 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,080 it turns out it was less popular than the control 556 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,080 this is a stunning result 557 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,080 random boarding with allocated seats was far quicker and yet 558 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,080 a much less positive experience for the passengers 559 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,080 this tells me that there is definitely something to this myth 560 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,080 if random is so much quicker then back to front is clearly flawed 561 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,080 in terms of speed and efficiency 562 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,080 but whether there's a better method that yields a more positive passenger result 563 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,080 I think requires more testing 564 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,080 shall we? 565 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,080 next up is what we call the Wilma technique 566 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,080 it stands for windows, middle and aisle 567 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,080 once you've boarded business class 568 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,080 then you load those with window seats 569 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,080 then the middle seats and then the aisle 570 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,080 seems pretty logical to me 571 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,080 it's a standard rarely used technique with a cute 572 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,080 not quite accurate acronym 573 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,080 and it's down to Adam to explain the unfamiliar procedure 574 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,080 okay we are now going to board people seated at window seats 575 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,080 if your ticket has a letter A or a letter F on it 576 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,080 you may board all rows with letters A or F 577 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,080 I was a little nervous about how that was going to work out 578 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,080 but it seems like everyone's getting it pretty clearly 579 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,080 as it turns out with some clear instructions 580 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,080 it's quite simple 581 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,080 we are now going to board middle seats 582 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,080 if your seat number has a letter B or E attached to it 583 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,080 you may now board the plane 584 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,080 one of the problems when back to front boarding 585 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,080 is aisle seat passengers getting up to allow window seat passengers 586 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,080 to get to their seats 587 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,080 causing congestion in the aisle 588 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,080 but this method is specifically designed to avoid that 589 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,080 and the result is an even quicker time 590 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,080 what was the time on that one Jamie? 591 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,080 14 minutes 55 seconds 592 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,080 nice 593 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,080 the faster smoother style is also reflected in the satisfaction score 594 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,080 a fulfilling 102 595 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,080 and that has Jamie convinced of the result 596 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,080 Wilma is significantly faster 597 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,080 and five times better in terms of customer satisfaction than the control 598 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,080 for me that means the myth is confirmed right here 599 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,080 the method in use by the vast majority of airlines 600 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,080 is simply not the best available 601 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,080 what we have to determine now 602 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,080 is what is exactly the best method 603 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,080 well the straight windows middle aisle or Wilma boarding 604 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,080 worked pretty fast but there's apparently a Wilma method 605 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,080 that's even more sophisticated 606 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,080 it breaks it out into windows middle aisle in separate blocks 607 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,080 and it is going to tax all my faculties of being a clear announcer 608 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,080 of who gets seated when 609 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,080 they're going to be seated in ten separate blocks 610 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:20,080 one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten 611 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,080 it makes me tired just looking at it 612 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,080 all right Jamie you can start the timer 613 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,080 once again Adam Usher's on business class and families 614 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,080 and then it gets complicated 615 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,080 the first group to board grows 22 through 30 616 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,080 but only the window seats 617 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,080 seats A or F may now board the plane 618 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,080 despite the complexity Adam rises to the occasion 619 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,080 I feel that this loudspeaker makes me virile and more powerful 620 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,080 and it all goes swimmingly 621 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,080 this is fascinating 622 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,080 here's what I really hope for this story 623 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,080 is that we actually come up with a result 624 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,080 that gets utilized by airlines to cut down on the amount of time it takes to fly 625 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,080 that'd be great 626 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,080 and with another fast time under their seatbelts 627 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,080 that's time 628 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,080 this myth is really taking off 629 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,080 I fly a heck of a lot 630 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,080 and I'm pretty sure that every plane I've ever gotten on 631 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,080 has boarded the passengers in the back to front zone system 632 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,080 and we're not done testing 633 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,080 but we've already determined that the back to front zone system 634 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,080 is pretty terrible compared to almost everything else 635 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:28,080 so far for our bite the bullet myth 636 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,080 we have tested accuracy and penetration 637 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,080 now it's time to test deception 638 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,080 now the way we're going to do that is we're going to fire our bone and our teeth bullets 639 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,080 into a human analog 640 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,080 basically a pig 641 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,080 then what we're going to do is have a forensic pathologist 642 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,080 take a look at the evidence and see if he can detect the lethal projectile 643 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,080 now unfortunately butchers are not allowed to give us pigs with their innards intact 644 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,080 so we are going to have to fill up the chest cavity with our own organs 645 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,080 you got a lot of heart, Carrie 646 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,080 oh, jeez 647 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,080 so basically Carrie and I are going to be playing doctor 648 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,080 prank or something like that is 649 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,080 alright, we're done 650 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,080 see, it wasn't that bad 651 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,080 no, that was pretty bad 652 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,080 today's show is sponsored by the letter A 653 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,080 so back down at the gun range 654 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,080 alright, who ordered the human analog 655 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,080 alright, so our human analog is in place 656 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,080 and we're going to shoot at close range directly into the sternum 657 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,080 with our top two ammunition 658 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,080 which is the teeth shot 659 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,080 and the bone bullet 660 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,080 now the idea here is that when a pathologist is examining the victim 661 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,080 they'll just be shattered bone everywhere 662 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,080 and there won't be direct traceable evidence 663 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,080 like you might see with a lead bullet 664 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,080 alright, we're going hot 665 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,080 and first up versus human analog number one 666 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,080 is the supersized bone bullet 667 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,080 here we go 668 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,080 in three, two, one 669 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,080 cool 670 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,080 ah, we got a hit and we got penetration 671 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,080 hot to the pathologist 672 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,080 alright 673 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,080 so the bone bullet did exactly what we wanted it to 674 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,080 we've got great penetration 675 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,080 high accuracy, this black dot right here is where I was aiming 676 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,080 and I can see inside that there are bone fragments 677 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,080 so it's looking really good for the myth right now 678 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,080 but we won't know for sure until we get to the doctor 679 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,080 and until then, it's time to take him down and put him on ice 680 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,080 so while target number one is chilling out 681 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,080 awaiting an examination by our medical examiner 682 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,080 Q target two and a shotgun shell with a bite 683 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,080 so the shotgun's still in the running 684 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,080 this may be our last chance for an actual teeth bullet 685 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,080 now the idea is that maybe it won't penetrate the way the bone does 686 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,080 but it'll spray and you might bleed out 687 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,080 it still might be viable ammunition 688 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,080 it penetrates enough, it's got good aim 689 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,080 and it destroys on impact 690 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,080 alright, teeth shot, we're hot 691 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,080 so if the teeth bullet is going to be plausible 692 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,080 it's going to be right here 693 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,080 three, two, one 694 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,080 yeah, that looks great 695 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,080 I am shocked by this result 696 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,080 especially after we shot into the ballistic shell 697 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,080 I mean we were only getting about two inches of penetration 698 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,080 which didn't seem like a lethal shot 699 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,080 but after we fired into our human analog 700 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,080 I mean this looks like a lethal shot 701 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,080 it punched through the skin into the organs 702 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,080 and the best part is it actually went through the rib cage 703 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,080 now the big test is will the pathologist be able to identify 704 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,080 what did this damage 705 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,080 right now, this myth is looking very good 706 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,080 Carrie, Grant and Tori are playing with guns and 707 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,080 Hamo 708 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,080 they've been trying to find out if bio bullets 709 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,080 made of teeth and bone would be accurate, lethal 710 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,080 and full-lay forensic scientist 711 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,080 let's take it to the pathologist 712 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,080 alright 713 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,080 Q expert medical examiner Dr Melanik 714 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,080 and her oscillating sore 715 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,080 her challenge, well the team has brought home the bacon in body bags 716 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,080 and without knowing the cause of the injuries 717 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,080 she has to autopsy the two victims 718 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,080 first up, the bone bullet 719 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:17,080 so I'm just looking to see if there are any signs of injury to the animal 720 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,080 and what I see is I see that a wound over here 721 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,080 but it looks like a sharp force injury like from a knife 722 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,080 it doesn't look like from a gunshot wound 723 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,080 this is looking really good for the myth, she thinks it's a stab wound 724 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,080 for the myth to be confirmed 725 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,080 traceable evidence will elude the doc 726 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,080 and she won't be able to work out what punched a hole in porcupine here 727 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,080 so I'm just reflecting this backwards to see where this injury is going 728 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,080 and how deep it's going 729 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,080 the doc follows the injury through the skin and muscle in the chest wall 730 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:53,080 getting a picture of the force and trajectory of the trauma that caused it 731 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,080 okay penetrated four inches 732 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,080 what the heck is that? 733 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,080 this is not normal for a heart 734 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,080 damage the heart, damage the liver 735 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,080 broke three ribs, definitely a lethal blow 736 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,080 the bone bullet clearly fulfilled the lethal requirement 737 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,080 but will it fool the pathologist? 738 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,080 if you hold the evidence 739 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,080 which I've recovered from the injured organs 740 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,080 side by side 741 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,080 next to the cut rib 742 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,080 you'll notice that they're different in appearance 743 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,080 it doesn't appear to be either like the bone 744 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,080 which has a marrow 745 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,080 or like the cartilage that it went through 746 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,080 so you're saying whatever that is 747 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,080 it's not part of this pig? 748 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,080 it's not part of this pig 749 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,080 this is a foreign object that was introduced into this pig 750 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,080 she's good 751 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,080 she's very good 752 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,080 she's really good 753 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,080 nothing getting by you 754 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,080 with some patient skill and experience 755 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,080 Dr. Melanik recovers all of the foreign objects from the injury 756 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,080 and soon has the answer to this porcine puzzle 757 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,080 alright so doctor after all of this 758 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,080 what are your findings? 759 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,080 inside the body 760 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,080 I saw damage to the organs 761 00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,080 that is consistent with gunshot injury 762 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,080 and then I found the pieces that we put together 763 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,080 in the shape of a bullet 764 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,080 alright so our technique of using a bone bullet 765 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,080 to disguise the cause of death 766 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,080 is not going to fool you 767 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,080 no 768 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,080 alright well we're not finished 769 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,080 we got one more technique to see if we can fool you 770 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,080 okay 771 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,080 now our forensic pathologist is examining 772 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,080 for the teeth shot 773 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,080 on the one hand it could be more crushed up 774 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,080 less evidence 775 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,080 but on the other it could be more foreign 776 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,080 alright so doctor just on first glance 777 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,080 what do you think happened here? 778 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,080 well I see an entrance wound with scalloped edges 779 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,080 like a cookie cutter or flower 780 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,080 and then I see some satellite wounds 781 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,080 which have particular material that look like 782 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,080 not like shot but like 783 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,080 tooth or bone 784 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,080 I think that this is most consistent with a shotgun wound 785 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,080 once again the doc has it all worked out 786 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,080 first that it's a wound from a shotgun 787 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,080 second that its pellets were not BB's 788 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,080 but teeth 789 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,080 and finally even if the wound had been near the mouth 790 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,080 just like the bone fragments 791 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,080 the doc would have easily detected the foreign material 792 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,080 you can't fool the forensic pathologist this one's busted 793 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,080 definitely busted 794 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,080 totally busted 795 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,080 thank you so much for your help 796 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,080 thank you 797 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,080 Jeff Han 798 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,080 I had a lot of fun thank you 799 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,080 yeah I didn't 800 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,080 that was disgusting 801 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,080 it's a definitive result 802 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,080 the slugs may have been moderately accurate 803 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,080 and barely lethal 804 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,080 yeah that's a really tight group 805 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:28,080 but the crucial criterion was that they could fool a pathologist 806 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,080 and on that they failed meaning this myth is busted 807 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,080 with the help of an excited plane load of volunteers 808 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,080 oh you little turblants 809 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,080 woo 810 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,080 Adam and Jamie are asking if airlines around the world 811 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,080 have got it wrong 812 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,080 so far the answer is yes 813 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,080 the usual method of boarding does appear to be the slowest 814 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,080 and one of the least popular 815 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,080 and next up is an experiment in Anarchy 816 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,080 after business class 817 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,080 it's every passenger for themselves 818 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,080 now all the rest of you 819 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,080 there are no assigned seats and no assigned rows 820 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,080 so when I say 821 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,080 which is now you can all board the airplane 822 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,080 whoa 823 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,080 in an orderly fashion 824 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,080 wow 825 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,080 in the earlier random test there were assigned seats 826 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,080 but this is just a free-for-all 827 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,080 this is interesting 828 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,080 there's no assigned seating no order at all 829 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,080 and so what they're doing is actually the opposite of the back to front 830 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,080 they're filling up the front first 831 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,080 and then going backwards 832 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,080 which doesn't seem like it would be the most efficient way of doing it 833 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,080 because they're blocking the aisle right in the beginning of the plane 834 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,080 but somewhat counter-intuitively 835 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,080 the lack of seat assignments 836 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,080 leads to the fastest time so far 837 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,080 the only reason for that that I can think of 838 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,080 is that nobody's looking for any specific seat 839 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,080 they're just taking the first one they come across 840 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,080 apparently it saves time 841 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,080 it saves on time 842 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,080 but according to a customer sir they score of minus five 843 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,080 not on stress 844 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,080 this is fascinating 845 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,080 I've just finished scoring the random random boarding method 846 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,080 and they hated this method 847 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,080 overwhelmingly they voted it as terrible 848 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,080 and I think this is an interesting window into human psychology 849 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,080 I think humans like structure 850 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,080 we want to know that there's a structure 851 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,080 even if it takes us longer 852 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,080 it appeals to our sense of justice 853 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,080 that things are happening for a reason 854 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,080 that's fascinating 855 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,080 which leaves the results looking like this 856 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:42,080 despite surveys indicating that waiting and queuing is the single biggest complaint for frequent flyers 857 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,080 it seems a sense of order and structure is just as important 858 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,080 which leaves one final attempt by the team 859 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,080 to find the perfect boarding solution 860 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,080 one that might provide speed, structure and satisfaction 861 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,080 next up is a method called the reverse pyramid 862 00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,080 it's pretty complex 863 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,080 in fact the passengers are told merely to board by zones 864 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,080 which are pre-sorted on their tickets 865 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,080 the best way to explain it to you guys is with the editor's help 866 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,080 editors if you put up a graphic please 867 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,080 and show the zones as they board 868 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:15,080 one, two, three, four, five and six 869 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,080 it's pretty complicated 870 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,080 it's supposed to be pretty fast 871 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,080 we're gonna find out 872 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:24,080 we are going to begin boarding myth bust air flight 3.1415927 873 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,080 with service to myths unknown 874 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:31,080 it appears complicated but with zones and seat numbers printed on the tickets 875 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,080 it's actually incredibly simple 876 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,080 you have group two on your ticket 877 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,080 you may board the airplane 878 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,080 this one appears to be working kind of like the Wilma techniques 879 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,080 where it's filling on the outside 880 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,080 and then gradually works its way towards the middle 881 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,080 group three may now board the airplane 882 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,080 but the pyramid strategy ends up doing that in blocks 883 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,080 which may or may not help it 884 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,080 and when the timer stops at 15.10 885 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,080 it's back to the shop on an imaginary flight 886 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,080 to make their final assessment 887 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,080 buckle in 888 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:08,080 here we go 889 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,080 three, two, one, three 890 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,080 so where do we stand? 891 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,080 well the myth was that the most common technique that airlines use for boarding a plane 892 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,080 that is from back to front 893 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,080 also happened to be the slowest and least efficient method 894 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,080 of putting people onto an airplane 895 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,080 and based on our testing 896 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,080 I have to say it's myth confirmed 897 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,080 indeed 898 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,080 but you know what's interesting is that the fastest technique we tried 899 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,080 was also the least popular 900 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,080 that might be why most airlines don't use it 901 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:39,080 well the good news is that the three most popular techniques we tried 902 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,080 are significantly faster than the back to front technique 903 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,080 so those are the ones we should be using 904 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,080 absolutely 905 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,080 you hear that airlines?
