1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
I'm always listening for the footsteps of the souls I left to burn.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Wondering have I dead yet?

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Did the innocence get their turn?

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Am I marching?

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Am I marching?

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Walking with the ones who fell am I watching?

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
In the hell

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Whoa, what happened there?

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
It's this symbol for infinity.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Well, eat up, your breakfast won't stay warm forever.

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
It's true. Nothing lasts forever.

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Alright, you ready for this?

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Blow it out of the water.

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Okay, let's do it. Let's blow it out of the water.

15
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Alright, today we have an entire episode devoted to the phrase,

16
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
blowing it out of the water.

17
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Which has come to mean a kind of overwhelming victory against the enemy, right?

18
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Exactly right. And in that sense of the phrase, later we've got the finale of Breaking Bad.

19
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Could Walter White's machine gun booby trap really have taken out all of his enemies?

20
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
But first, we're actually going to test the literal meaning of the myth,

21
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
which comes from Submarinus from World War II.

22
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Apparently, occasionally when they sent a torpedo toward a ship,

23
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
they would watch that ship blow completely out of the water instead of blowing up.

24
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
How epic are we going to take this?

25
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
I figure we got to get pretty epic with it.

26
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Cool.

27
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Blowing a boat out of the water, instead of into pieces,

28
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:32,000
might only happen if the relative positions of ship and shockwave are spot on.

29
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
And to find out just that, the mythbusters are starting in miniature.

30
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Now, when we say we're going to blow a boat out of the water,

31
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
we mean specifically blow a boat out of the water, not blow up a boat.

32
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
That's not what we want.

33
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
So, we're going to start with this beautiful tank.

34
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
It is large enough for us to detonate our miniature explosives.

35
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Oh, f***.

36
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
And our boat, which still needs a little bit of work.

37
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Their 15 grams of black powder is perfectly scaled for a setup this size.

38
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
But to find out if it can lift the boat, rather than obliterate it, placement is key.

39
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Now, we figured there's a certain depth at which the explosive reaches this optimal relationship

40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
between the water and the boat to send the boat flying itself out of the water.

41
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
And that depth is what we want to find.

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Ow.

43
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
And first up will be, I guess, our control.

44
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Perfect.

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Which will be the explosives at the boat on the surface of the water.

46
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Alright, Heinemann, you ready?

47
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
I'm ready.

48
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Alright, three, two, one, go.

49
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Whoa!

50
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
There's no more boat.

51
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000
That was genuinely thrilling.

52
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:58,000
That was spectacular and kind of shockingly beautiful.

53
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Look at how this glowing ball forms this two-foot tank.

54
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Look at how this glowing ball forms this two-foot diameter hole in the water.

55
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
It's almost perfectly spherical before it starts to collapse on itself.

56
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And the boat, well, the boat, she is no more.

57
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
So, now we're trying to find the depth at which to lift the boat,

58
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
rather than turn it into a bunch of little chunks.

59
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And frankly, given the size of that sphere of explosion,

60
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I'm thinking about going halfway down,

61
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
12 inches below the surface for the next cherry bomb.

62
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Okay, from halfway down the tank,

63
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
three, two, one.

64
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Ha ha ha ha!

65
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
This time, the boat's not been totaled.

66
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Uh, we need a hose out of here right away.

67
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
We got electrical cords, need to be picked up.

68
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
But the tank has f***ing me.

69
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
With more scale tests to come,

70
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
it's all hands to the pump to salvage some science.

71
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Ha ha ha ha!

72
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
But it's not all doom and gloom.

73
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Well, our breach tank notwithstanding, that last test was beautiful.

74
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
As it explodes, you can see this perfect sphere of fire expand,

75
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
and as it's expanding, pushes the boat literally out of the water.

76
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
It was exactly what we were looking for.

77
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Oh, that boat is going straight up.

78
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
It's lifting it beautifully.

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
It made it at least to the rim of the tank.

80
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
At least to the rim of the tank. That's significant.

81
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Go!

82
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Unfortunately, the tank wasn't perfectly glued around the seam,

83
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
so we're going to empty this tank out.

84
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
We're going to reseal it.

85
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
All right.

86
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
We're going to try it one more time.

87
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Ah, yeah.

88
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
So far, we set up two explosions,

89
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
one right next to the boat, and then one in the middle of the water.

90
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Now both of those results were entirely different.

91
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And so, this time, we're going to put the explosion much further away

92
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
right on the bottom of our tank, and we'll see what that does.

93
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
This is deck charge at the bottom of the tank.

94
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Three, two, one, go!

95
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Ha ha ha ha ha!

96
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Go!

97
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Boat upside down error, but no leaks.

98
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Go!

99
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
It would be kind of upsetting to be turned upside down instantly, though.

100
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
I believe that's the very definition.

101
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Slow down.

102
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
It's clear that test three did lift the boat up and out,

103
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
but not as much as test two,

104
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,000
meaning come full scale, a depth charge positioned between the boat and the boat,

105
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
may give them the result this myth needs.

106
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Ha ha ha ha ha!

107
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
We've learned that doing controlled experiments like this

108
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
can sometimes give us clues that we didn't even know we're there

109
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
as to what's really going on.

110
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Now in this case, what we saw was that if the explosive is too close,

111
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
it'll blow it up.

112
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
If it's too far away, it won't move it as much.

113
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Now we'll be keeping all of that as food for thought

114
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
when we go out into the full scale,

115
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
and hopefully we'll pick the right ratio.

116
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
But before going large, what else is on the docket?

117
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
So, Walter White's machine gun booby trap.

118
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Yes, the metaphorical testing of the phrase,

119
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
blowing out of the water in the finale of Breaking Bad,

120
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Walt puts an autonomous machine gun in the trunk of his car,

121
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
sets it off, and takes out all of his enemies at once.

122
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Spoiler alert.

123
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Come on, who hasn't seen Breaking Bad at this point?

124
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Okay, well, if I remember correctly, that was an M60 machine gun.

125
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Indeed it was. What are you thinking?

126
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Well, that's probably got quite a kick.

127
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
I figured we ought to go to the gun range and see what we're dealing with.

128
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
I like where you're going with that. Let's do it.

129
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Now Walt's booby trap depended on a lash-down,

130
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
autonomously firing M60 machine gun in the trunk of his car.

131
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
But could the rig he built have even held on to such a

132
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
legendarily powerful weapon?

133
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
The gun fires 550 rounds per minute.

134
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
That is a lot of lead.

135
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Well, in order to get to know the gun,

136
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Jamie and I are going to fire it here at the Shabbo Gun Club.

137
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Check how much recoil and power the weapon really has.

138
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Now, Jamie said he was coming with a gun,

139
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
and he's around here somewhere.

140
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000
This is the M60 machine gun.

141
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
It was developed in the 50s for the U.S. Army

142
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
and used by them through the 90s.

143
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Now, this is the iconic machine gun that you would have seen

144
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
hanging off the side of a helicopter gunship

145
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
in any Vietnam War era footage.

146
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000
And it's what Walt had in the back of his trunk.

147
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
There's no doubt that it's some seriously heavy artillery.

148
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
But is it so powerful?

149
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
It's the heaviest gun I've ever held.

150
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
You'll feel it push back.

151
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
That securing it on Walt's homemade mount

152
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
is a mission impossible.

153
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Let's do it.

154
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000
To find out, Adam's starting slow by not going full auto.

155
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Safety is off.

156
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Alright, firing in three, two, one.

157
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Woo! That was cool.

158
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
I just fired 45 rounds from the M60.

159
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
And frankly, it doesn't have as much recoil as I thought it would,

160
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
but it is a heavy piece of machinery,

161
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
and there is a lot of movement.

162
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
The gun mount in the back of our car

163
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
is going to have to withstand a lot of shaking,

164
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
and not just for accuracy, but also for general safety.

165
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
With less push than predicted,

166
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Walt's plan may have potential.

167
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
But will that change when the guns crank to the max?

168
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Alright.

169
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Okay, here we go.

170
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Wow.

171
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Holding onto that M60 while it's firing a continuous stream of bullets

172
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
is, well, it's kind of like trying to throttle a full-size

173
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
and very angry snake, which, by the way, I've done.

174
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
It does push back in line with the gun a little bit,

175
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
but it's not too bad.

176
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
It's quite a nice machine.

177
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
It's so far so good, but to copy the clip more closely,

178
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
the guys are next adding a target.

179
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Nailed it.

180
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
And that's not all.

181
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Okay, here we go.

182
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Because this time, Jamie's going to be firing 200 rounds

183
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
with the gun secured on a tabletop tripod.

184
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Three, two, one.

185
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Firing at its maximum capacity,

186
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
the bullets leave the barrel at a rate of 9 per second.

187
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
But thanks to the gun's weight and engineering,

188
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
the recoil, especially when shot from a tripod,

189
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
is surprisingly slight.

190
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Meaning that firing it from a homemade mount

191
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
might not be Hollywood hijinks.

192
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
I think you'd be hurting.

193
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Still to come.

194
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Hey!

195
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
The guys go big or go home.

196
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Boom.

197
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
And a special guest joins the Breaking Bad blowout.

198
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
That is the real deal.

199
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad.

200
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Can we talk business?

201
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
In Breaking Bad's grand finale,

202
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Walter White ended things with a bang.

203
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
But would his rig really have rocked?

204
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
To find out, it's time for the Mythbusters

205
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
to make their own deadly device.

206
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
All right, so we've got to set up the meanest

207
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
practical joke ever.

208
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
So let's see what we got here.

209
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Okay, so I noticed a couple of things.

210
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
One is that it looks like the base of this thing is...

211
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Oh, that's a chair base.

212
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Yeah, that's like this thing.

213
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Okay, so if that's a chair base,

214
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
I'm going to write this down.

215
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
I'm guessing that's the main pivot for the gun

216
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
at its balance point.

217
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Yeah.

218
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Okay, this is a garage door opener.

219
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Well, wait a second.

220
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
And look on this one, it looks like he's used a wrench.

221
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Oh, as a pivot arm?

222
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Yeah.

223
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Okay, so a wrench as a pivot arm.

224
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
This is hilarious.

225
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Now there's the question of the key fob.

226
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
There's three things that happen when he hits the key fob,

227
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
which is, one, the trunk pops open.

228
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Yeah.

229
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
And then there's the reciprocating action.

230
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
The gun starts sweeping.

231
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
And then it starts firing.

232
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
And on their close-up,

233
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
we can see a package that is a gearhead-driven car door opener.

234
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Right.

235
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Which I feel like properly levered,

236
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
it could be a fantastic trigger pull.

237
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Yeah.

238
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Well, so far, I'm not seeing anything that seems to me

239
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
like a deal-breaker.

240
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Yeah.

241
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
So divide and conquer.

242
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Divide and conquer.

243
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
You want to work on the key fob and electronics,

244
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
and I'll start getting the rigged parts together.

245
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Okay.

246
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
The guys start by looking high and low

247
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
for all the key components.

248
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
The chair.

249
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
The garage door opener.

250
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
This looks precisely like what we see in the show.

251
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
The wrenches.

252
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
And a trigger pull.

253
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
This is a cool little device.

254
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
It's meant for locking and unlocking the doors in your car.

255
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Oh, yeah.

256
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
That would totally pull the trigger.

257
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
And with that, Adam can commence his part of the build.

258
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
That's how short it is.

259
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Walter's chair-based gun mount.

260
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Hey, hey, hey.

261
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Which involves connecting some conduit to an office chair.

262
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Yeah.

263
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
You can't foil me.

264
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And that's it.

265
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
That's pretty freaking cool.

266
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Dude.

267
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Dude.

268
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
That is fantastic.

269
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
The garage door opener, however, is proving problematic.

270
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Uh...

271
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
With the key fob failing to fire...

272
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
That would say that that is on.

273
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
...Janey delves deeper to unearth a complex safety system.

274
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
This thing has switches that tell when the door is closed

275
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
or when it's open and sensors so that you can't kill your cat

276
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
or break your foot or whatever it is.

277
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
We don't need any of that stuff.

278
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Jamie needs to bypass the safety switches.

279
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
We just want power to go to the motor.

280
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Period.

281
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
So that the motor can be powered on and never automatically shut down.

282
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I've hot-wired cars before, but...

283
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
...never hot-wired a garage door opener for a car.

284
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
It may be a sophisticated circuit, but an hour later,

285
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
and it ain't no match for the Heinemann.

286
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Very cool.

287
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
With the door ring running, Adam next compels it to his gun mount,

288
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
courtesy of the wrench pivot system.

289
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Let's try a test.

290
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Three, two, one.

291
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
What?

292
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
What?

293
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Okay, that was too fast.

294
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Just gonna go out and let him say that was too fast.

295
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
I hit my first big snafu,

296
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
and that is that the key component of sweeping this gun back and forth,

297
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
the garage door opener spins way too fast.

298
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
So I need to reduce its speed,

299
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
and in keeping with Walt's clues together,

300
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
whatever I can find in the local stores solution...

301
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Still a few bugs to be worked out.

302
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
I'm thinking I might use some bicycle parts to get me that gear reduction.

303
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
For the first time, Adam's having to go off-script.

304
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
A couple of welds. Here we go.

305
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And while this is not what Walt did,

306
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
it is a fix he could have fabricated.

307
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
This is a moment of truth.

308
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Three, two, one.

309
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Yeah!

310
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
That's the kind of abuse it's gonna be under.

311
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
With a turn speed that's way closer to Walter's,

312
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Adam's addition should let their rig fire on all cylinders.

313
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,000
That's cool.

314
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Provided that Jamie's trigger delivers.

315
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
So how this works is,

316
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
you know, you can't just hit the switch and it's like,

317
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
you know, you're all in a hurry.

318
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
You know, the switch is not working.

319
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
You have to be excited that Jamie's trigger delivers.

320
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
So how this works is that there are actually two of these.

321
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
One on either side,

322
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
and a pin that connects them.

323
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
And the pin goes across the trigger.

324
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
And so when these actuate,

325
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
they both push back and push on the trigger that way.

326
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Beauty.

327
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Well, we have a plan.

328
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,120
All the major components of Walt's build are here.

329
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:06,920
The box end wrenches pivoting off a garage door opener.

330
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,800
The gun on a chair swivel, mounted

331
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,600
to a piece of standard, shallow conduit.

332
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,120
I have added one thing, which is to get a 4 to 1 gear

333
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:17,600
to reduction, I've added a 10-speed cassette

334
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,200
to the edge of the garage door opener.

335
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,240
But again, all of this is stuff you

336
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,320
could buy within a local town like Walt had to do.

337
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,680
And check it out.

338
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,840
It totally operates.

339
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,120
It's hard to get excited when I find this one of the most

340
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:38,120
terrifying machines we have ever built.

341
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:41,120
Nonetheless, I'm pretty excited.

342
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:41,640
Stop that.

343
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,080
In Blow It Out of the Water, Adam and Jamie's small scale

344
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,480
tests

345
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,480
Go.

346
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,480
Whoa!

347
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,920
Ha, ha, ha, ha.

348
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,360
showed that a mid-depth boom could lift a ship up and out.

349
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,200
It's lifting it beautifully.

350
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,920
But can they repeat this feat when they go large?

351
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
When it comes to explosives on the water,

352
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,680
there's not many places that open to us.

353
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,920
But luckily, this quarry lake in Gold Country, northern

354
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:23,640
California, poetically named Pitt 232, is always open for us.

355
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,000
And it's in Pitt 232 that we're going to put this boat,

356
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,200
along with a buttload of explosives,

357
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,880
and see if we can blow it out of the water.

358
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,640
Ha, ha, ha.

359
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,160
That's a lot of steel.

360
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,400
Now, while we've gone to great lengths

361
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,880
to buy a really big boat made out of steel

362
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,800
that is semi-close to the kind of military boat we're

363
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,200
replicating, the Sherpite viewers among you

364
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,440
might notice that military ships are almost never

365
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,960
painted bright orange.

366
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,080
We've used a lot of boats on the show.

367
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,920
This might be both the biggest and the ugliest,

368
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,600
all at the same time.

369
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,360
When that bomb goes off, a lot is going to get obscured.

370
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,560
And we want the best chance for seeing if our boat actually

371
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,720
leaves the water and the orange might be the thing that

372
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,400
helps us see that.

373
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,080
Indeed.

374
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,840
But before any boom, there are three titanic tasks to tick off.

375
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,960
First, the guys need to raise her up, something

376
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,080
that's easier said than done.

377
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,040
This whole thing is pretty finicky,

378
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,040
because if these guys don't get their rigging right,

379
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,760
then the trailer could be damaged.

380
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,520
The cradling could be damaged.

381
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,840
It's not the ideal situation for loading a boat.

382
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,840
We have lift off.

383
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,640
Task two is to secure a centralized attachment point.

384
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,280
Bang, right here.

385
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,800
From which their explosive will hang midway between the boat

386
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,800
and the lake bed.

387
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,840
Jamie is now welding the ring to the underside of the boat,

388
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,400
but that's not the most amazing thing that's

389
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,760
happening right now.

390
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,600
He also gave me his beret to hold.

391
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,600
It's like alive.

392
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,760
Handling it very carefully.

393
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,200
And the final task, as the sun sets,

394
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,640
is to lower her into the lake.

395
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,560
Awesome.

396
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,280
And she's in.

397
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:29,800
Walter White's ultimate tank down

398
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,800
is a classic case of blowing it out of the water,

399
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,800
but would his rig really have worked?

400
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,800
To find out, Adam and Jamie have returned to the range,

401
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,800
where they're back with a bang.

402
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,800
The bandits have arrived.

403
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Run!

404
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Their first job is to remove the prop gun

405
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,800
and replace it with the real deal.

406
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,800
What could possibly go wrong?

407
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,800
Next, they add a box for the bullets.

408
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,800
I feel good about that.

409
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,800
Before tethering it in the trunk.

410
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,800
There we go.

411
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:09,800
You through?

412
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,800
Yep.

413
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,800
That just leaves the battery, which Jamie

414
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,800
wires in from the back seat.

415
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,800
All right, well, if everything is working correctly,

416
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,800
this should turn on just like Waltz did with the key fob.

417
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Yeah.

418
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,800
It's looking good.

419
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,800
You want to give it a jiggle?

420
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.

421
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,800
Come on.

422
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:35,800
That looks good, Jamie.

423
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,800
Yeah.

424
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,800
I like it.

425
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,800
With the gun ready to go, the guys next need

426
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,800
a drug den to aim it at.

427
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,800
We're pretty much only interested in what happened

428
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,800
to the front wall of the house in the Breaking Bad episode.

429
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,800
Now, our information is that that wall was made of stucco,

430
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,800
which is a concrete or mortar-like material.

431
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,800
And we're replicating that on our wall

432
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,800
with precast panels of a similar material.

433
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,800
So when our bullets hit this wall,

434
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,800
it should behave pretty much like what it did in the show.

435
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,800
By replicating the house in the clip,

436
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,800
the guys will see if Walt's weapon can take down

437
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800
the drug lords through the wall,

438
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800
provided that it goes off without a hitch.

439
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,800
To find out, Adam positions the car exactly as per the clip.

440
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,800
What do you think?

441
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,800
I like it, Jamie.

442
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,800
But before letting rip for real,

443
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,800
the guys want to do a proof of concept by firing blanks.

444
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,800
I'm loading a weapon.

445
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,800
120 off them.

446
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Safety's off. Gun's hot.

447
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,800
Mr. Heinemann, you ready?

448
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,800
I'm ready if you are.

449
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,800
Okay, blank firing function test, Breaking Bad,

450
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:46,800
Felida finale!

451
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,800
Three, two, one.

452
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,800
One shot.

453
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:54,800
Hmm.

454
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,800
That test might not have looked like it went very well,

455
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,800
but I'm smiling because it went beautifully.

456
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,800
We are looking for problems.

457
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,800
We're trying to solve them before they become deadly problems,

458
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,800
and that is a problem.

459
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,800
We ended up with what's called a stove pipe.

460
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,800
That's where one of the ejecting shells does not eject all the way

461
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,800
and gets caught in the returning slide.

462
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,800
Jamie's going to add some wire, hopefully, to fix it.

463
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,800
It should be good to go in a couple minutes.

464
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,800
All right. All right.

465
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,800
All right, with the problems potentially solved,

466
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,800
three, two, one, go.

467
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:41,800
Now that's more like it.

468
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,800
With their gun finally firing on all cylinders,

469
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,800
the guys are at last ready to take on this myth for real.

470
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,800
To find out if you can ever blow a ship clean out of the water,

471
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,800
Adam and Jamie have floated their boat.

472
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,800
And she's in.

473
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,800
Now they need to sink their depth charge.

474
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,800
Oh, it doesn't really pinch me.

475
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,800
A little pinchy.

476
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,800
Ow, it's actually quite pinchy.

477
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,800
This thing is normally a septic tank,

478
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,800
but we're not going to use it for that.

479
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,800
There we go. That's it.

480
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,800
Awesome.

481
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,800
We're going to fill it with explosives

482
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800
and hang it underneath our boat

483
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,800
to see if we can blow that boat out of the water.

484
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Hey.

485
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,800
That's the plan, but it's not just explosives that'll be inside.

486
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Sand.

487
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,800
So we need this bulb to sink once it's full.

488
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800
And we've calculated that to do that,

489
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,800
if we put 2,500 pounds of stuff in here,

490
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,800
it's not going to float.

491
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,800
So given that we intend to put 1,000 pounds of our explosive in here,

492
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800
we need 1,500 pounds of something else.

493
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,800
So that's why we're using sand.

494
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Yeah, go ahead. Get in, Captain Heidemann.

495
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Which is going to give us the correct amount

496
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,800
if we put about 50 bags of sand in here

497
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,800
before we put the explosives in.

498
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,800
I like this thing. It's kind of cute, isn't it?

499
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Yeah, it's surprisingly stable.

500
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,800
But before adding the explosives,

501
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,800
first, it's anchors away.

502
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,800
It's critical for our experiment

503
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,800
that the boat stays exactly where we put it.

504
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,800
So we are running into the reeds right now to set an anchor

505
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,800
and a line which will go all the way across the lake

506
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,800
and anchor our boat precisely where we put it

507
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,800
so it doesn't move from there.

508
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,800
It's like D-Day except we're fighting reeds.

509
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Having the boat drift out of place could spell disaster.

510
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Yeah! That's it.

511
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,800
So it's no surprise that Janie is taking this job very seriously.

512
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,800
Nice.

513
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,800
Adam? Not so much.

514
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,800
All right, sir. What do you need?

515
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,800
Seriously.

516
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,800
I figured I'd get in the mood.

517
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,800
Whatever.

518
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:13,800
With the boat finally locked, there's only one ingredient left.

519
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,800
Let's get the bomb. Let's do it.

520
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,800
A thousand pounds of anfo.

521
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,800
Well, there it is.

522
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,800
That's just going to go into our bomb and, uh, boom.

523
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,800
At this point, some of you might be wondering

524
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,800
why we're using anfo instead of something high explosive like C4.

525
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,800
I'd say that's a pretty good fit.

526
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Well, there's actually a really good reason for that.

527
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:41,800
It's a specific choice.

528
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,800
It, in fact, is a slower speed explosive, and we want that push.

529
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,800
See, slower explosives are used to push things.

530
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,800
High explosives are used to crack them into pieces.

531
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,800
We want the anfo to lift this boat, not C4, to slice it in half.

532
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,800
By using anfo, the guys are giving this myth a helping hand.

533
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,800
Let's go ahead and tie it in.

534
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,800
But will a thousand pounds of it, a typical amount used in both mines and torpedoes,

535
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,800
be enough to lift the boat high and dry?

536
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,800
Well, I think that ought to do it.

537
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,800
We're sealed up.

538
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,800
To find out, the team tows the bomb to the boat

539
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,800
before sinking it to a depth of 30 feet,

540
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,800
exactly midway between the bottom of the hull and the bottom of the lake.

541
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,800
Then it's go time.

542
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,800
For those of you playing our home game, I'd like to cover two distinct things.

543
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,800
One, remember that our goal is not to blow up our boat,

544
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,800
but to lift it out of the water.

545
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800
It's all ready to go.

546
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,800
And two, I know this hat isn't regulation,

547
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,800
but it's a lot more comfortable than a chapeau bra.

548
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,800
Alright, everyone, this is for real.

549
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Fire in the hole, fire in the hole.

550
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,800
Detonating the boat in five, four, three, two, one.

551
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,800
Fire in the hole.

552
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Boy, that's anticlimactic.

553
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,800
The guys have assembled all the Breaking Bad ingredients.

554
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:46,800
That is the gun, the ammunition, the classic car,

555
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,800
the wall made of all the same materials as the target.

556
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,800
Alright, and one other thing.

557
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,800
How about Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad?

558
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,800
Vince, you ready to see this thing go?

559
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,800
Man, I am seriously ready to see this thing go.

560
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,800
After giving Vince a glimpse of the trunk tripod...

561
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,800
That is the real deal.

562
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,800
This is completely awesome.

563
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,800
And the drug den.

564
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,800
You might be one Nazi shot,

565
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,800
but other than that, it looks pretty true to life.

566
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,800
He for one is confident.

567
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,800
How do I think this is going to go

568
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,800
compared to our Breaking Bad fictional version?

569
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,800
We've already seen the version with the blanks go off,

570
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,800
and that looked like a dead ringer for what we did back in Albuquerque.

571
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,800
I think with the live ammo,

572
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,800
Walter White is going to be vindicated.

573
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,800
At least in technological terms, if not moral terms.

574
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,800
I'm loading the weapon.

575
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,800
Well, with 200 live rounds locked and loaded,

576
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,800
it's time to find out.

577
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,800
Weapon's hot.

578
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:49,800
Vince, you ready?

579
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,800
Jamie, you good?

580
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,800
Let's see if this works.

581
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,800
Alright, this is Breaking Bad, Walt's booby trap finale.

582
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,800
And three, two, one, go!

583
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Did you hear something?

584
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:07,800
Here it goes.

585
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,800
Nope.

586
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,800
Okay, stiring it off.

587
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,800
Well, we...

588
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,800
We're not even sure what exactly has gone wrong,

589
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,800
but we're proceeding very, very carefully.

590
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,800
We've got a hot, loaded machine gun in that trunk.

591
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,800
But for some reason, it didn't fire.

592
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
No, hold on a second. Hold on a second.

593
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,800
Slowly, but surely...

594
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,800
Okay, you ready?

595
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,800
The guys remove a blockage in the barrel.

596
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,800
Come on, baby.

597
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,800
Gun is safe. The ammo's out.

598
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,800
Before resetting for take two...

599
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,800
Alright.

600
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Ready to go again?

601
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,800
I am ready.

602
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Alright, Breaking Bad finale, Walt's booby trap.

603
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,800
Final test, hopefully.

604
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,800
Three, two, one, go!

605
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,800
What the hell?

606
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,800
Power off.

607
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Power's off.

608
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,800
Man, the tension here is...

609
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,800
It's more than I would have thought it would be.

610
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,800
Can I get one more host clip, a bigger one?

611
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,800
And it makes me think, in what kind of nerves

612
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,800
what must Walt have been feeling,

613
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,800
wondering whether or not that little key fob clicker of his

614
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,800
was gonna make this thing fire or not.

615
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,800
Makes you think.

616
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,800
In the clip, Walt's fob seems to work first time.

617
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:41,800
But the guys are giving him and this myth one last chance.

618
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,800
Vince, you're good.

619
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,800
Third time's gonna be the charm.

620
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,800
Alright.

621
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:46,800
Breaking Bad.

622
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,800
Walt's booby trap.

623
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,800
Test in three, two, one.

624
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,800
Oh, yeah.

625
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:15,800
Woo!

626
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:16,800
That's the stuff.

627
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,800
That was an adrenaline rush.

628
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,800
That was awesome.

629
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,800
Oh, my God.

630
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,800
That went on longer than it did when we did it for the show.

631
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,800
That...that...that...

632
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,800
Our rig worked.

633
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,800
It actually swept back and forth.

634
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,800
After all of this work, the rig worked.

635
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,800
I have to say, my hat is off.

636
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,800
Two Walt's for white for getting his to work on the first try.

637
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,800
It took a while, but part one of the myth is back on track.

638
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,800
Walt's rig worked.

639
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,800
There's such a wide swath, man.

640
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,800
But how's part two looking?

641
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,800
That's really low.

642
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,800
Look at that.

643
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:05,800
Yeah.

644
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,800
Like seven feet off the ground.

645
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,800
Did the bullets make it through the wall and into the enemy inside?

646
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,800
Also, look, that's a tumbling bullet.

647
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,800
That is an oblong bullet-shaped hole.

648
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,800
This bullet didn't go through while spiraling.

649
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,800
Let's see what's behind you.

650
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,800
Alright.

651
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,800
Oh.

652
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:27,800
Uh-oh.

653
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:28,800
Dead dude.

654
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,800
Dead dude.

655
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:35,800
Dead dude.

656
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,800
They're all dead.

657
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,800
And Walt is okay.

658
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,800
So the plan wasn't entirely crazy, I guess.

659
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:51,800
Nope.

660
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:52,800
What?

661
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,800
Horror show.

662
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,800
It's one thing to watch that gun work from behind the blast chamber.

663
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:03,800
It's quite another to view the damage and the carnage after all the bullets have hit their mark.

664
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:10,800
It is gobsmackingly disturbing how effective a booby trap Walt designed.

665
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,800
And it is a testament to the show that all the damage we saw in Breaking Bad,

666
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,800
we have been able to replicate in an actual experiment.

667
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:19,800
I'm thrilled.

668
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:27,800
The main thing that I see from this test is the fact that it wasn't a clean line across the building.

669
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:33,800
Walt's plan to actually dive to the floor and be safe was really very risky

670
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,800
because I'm seeing bullets that went down.

671
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:41,800
The vibration in this thing is so massive that those bullets weren't just going in a straight line.

672
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:49,800
Jane is absolutely right when he says that Walt was taking a big, big risk to be lying on the ground when this thing went off.

673
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,800
However, I would like to point out a couple of salient elements.

674
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,800
He didn't really necessarily intend to survive this escapade.

675
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:04,800
He knew he was dying of cancer and all that really mattered to him was taking out these Nazi sons of guns.

676
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,800
And B, he did get shot in fact.

677
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,800
Took one in the side, I think it was this side and of course that led to his demise.

678
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,800
But I guess the only thing he end with is just to say that was amazing.

679
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,800
That was really something.

680
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:30,800
Vince, like Adam and Janey, is thrilled at the result, but not a hundred percent.

681
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,800
I gotta tell you, I'm elated because I rigged work, but you must be ecstatic.

682
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,800
Yeah, I am ecstatic.

683
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,800
You know, it's the little things that get you.

684
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:46,800
I'm looking at the grouping of the rounds as they appear in the front of the building and I'm annoyed at myself

685
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,800
because when it came to placing where the squibs would hit,

686
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,800
I was out there with a drill gun and I'm thinking, yeah, I think a bullet would go here.

687
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,800
I think one would go there.

688
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,800
But you didn't think that they would group up at the end of their round?

689
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,800
No, I missed that the rig has to stop and then double back.

690
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,800
So there's a lot more grouping at the tail ends and I kind of missed that detail and I'm mad at myself.

691
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,800
I appreciate your dedication to the correct physics.

692
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:15,800
I am happy that I believe we can finally call a Breaking Bad Test plausible.

693
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,800
Yeah, we finally got one.

694
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,800
One out of three, that's not bad at all.

695
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,800
That's good in baseball.

696
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,800
Yep, it was unstable, volatile and dangerous.

697
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:36,800
But given that the rig eventually worked and the bad guys were brought to justice, there's only one conclusion left to make.

698
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,800
Plausible.

699
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,800
Plausible.

700
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:41,800
Plausible.

701
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,800
Let's get out of here.

702
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,800
Yes.

703
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,800
Three, still to come.

704
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:54,800
Two, there's fire.

705
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,800
One, in the water hole.

706
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,800
I know that some of you are probably thinking, what are you going to blow up a bomb in that lake?

707
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,800
What are you going to kill the fish and the frogs and stuff?

708
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,800
And that is totally reasonable to question.

709
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,800
But let me explain that Pit 232 here is a quarry lake.

710
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,800
As such, its pH level is slightly acidic, about 5.5.

711
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:29,800
And because of that, even though you see the reeds around the edge, there are no living things within this lake.

712
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,800
Nothing for us to kill.

713
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,800
It's like perfect for blowing stuff up.

714
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:47,800
Underwater explosion in three, two, one.

715
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,800
Having failed to blow anything out of the water.

716
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,800
Boy, that's anticlimactic.

717
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,800
The guys have wired up a new detonation device that's good to go.

718
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:03,800
Alright everybody.

719
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,800
Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!

720
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,800
Blowing the boat out of the water for reels this time.

721
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,800
In three, two, one, go.

722
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,800
That was astonishing.

723
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,800
What a geyser!

724
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,800
We did blow the boat out of the water, but there is no more boat.

725
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,800
I think technically what we did was we separated the boat into hundreds of little pieces, which we then blew out of the water.

726
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:50,800
Yeah.

727
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,800
That works.

728
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,800
Okay.

729
00:39:52,800 --> 00:40:12,800
Well, our blast happened about 10 minutes ago and the surface of the water is still incredibly agitated.

730
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,800
It's like the water is still reeling from what we did.

731
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:24,800
Absolutely one of the most astonishing phenomena I have ever been lucky enough to witness.

732
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,800
Unfortunately, we didn't blow the boat out of the water.

733
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,800
We just blew the boat out of existence.

734
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:40,800
The goal was to lift the intact boat up and out of the water, something that clearly didn't happen.

735
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:47,800
So was it a case of too much explosive or is there another explanation at hand?

736
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,800
I figured what actually happened here was really quite simple.

737
00:40:51,800 --> 00:41:00,800
When the bomb went off, it created a bubble of rapidly expanding gas, which eventually made its way to the surface of the water where the boat was.

738
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:08,800
Now that opened effectively a conduit through which all of that energy could flow where it can follow a path of least resistance.

739
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,800
And that happened to be straight up right through the bottom of that boat.

740
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,800
And that's why it was so destructive.

741
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:26,800
So the way I see it, unless the boat this is happening to is incredibly strong, there's no Goldilocks formula of amount and placement of explosive that is going to gently lift it out of the water.

742
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:34,800
What's always going to happen is this literal upward facing cannon blast which is going to punch a hole and decimate the boat.

743
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,800
And so as far as I'm concerned, it's not looking good for the myth.

744
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:48,800
Jamie's theory seems sound and the footage of a near vertical blast with very little debris flung to the side does back it up.

745
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,800
So what's the verdict?

746
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,800
How do you want to call this?

747
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,800
Busted. There's no boat left.

748
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:04,800
We gave it our best shot. The small scale seemed to lead us to believe that this would work, but no, we blew it to smithereens. It's busted.

749
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,800
Yeah, so what's next?

750
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,800
Well, usually at the end of one of these episodes we walk off into the sunset.

751
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,800
Sun's already set.

752
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,800
Yeah, it has.

753
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,800
you
