1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:26,000
...

2
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Dude, I think I found it.

3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,000
...

4
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
We happy?

5
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
...

6
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Adam, we happy?

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Yeah, we happy.

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:59,000
...

9
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:14,000
...

10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Dude, it's real. This is it.

11
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
What exactly is it?

12
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
This is the end of the line. This is our last ever episode of Mythbusters.

13
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So, what do you want to do? Sit around and mope?

14
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
No, I do not. We have actually a fantastic episode planned.

15
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And Mayhem is front and center on this.

16
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
We've got a rocket sled, Buster.

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Get the stuntman of all of our dreams.

18
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Wow! Huge explosion.

19
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Wow!

20
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
A truck wedge on steroids.

21
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
...

22
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And a whole bunch more.

23
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Well, sounds good. What's first?

24
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
One of the things Mythbusters is most famous for is our extensive use of our high-speed camera.

25
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Agreed.

26
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
But we have never filmed an explosion at tens of thousands of frames per second.

27
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Well, you know what? If we're going to do that, we should make the last one a monster.

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
I totally agree. You heard him. Don't touch that dial because the last ever episode of Mythbusters starts right now.

29
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
...

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
They say that all good things must come to an end.

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
...

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
And Mythbusters is no exception.

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
...

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Having lived through 14 years of world firsts...

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
...

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
...

37
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
...

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
...

39
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
...

40
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
...

41
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
...

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
...

43
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
...

44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
...

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
...

46
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
...

47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
...

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
...

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
...

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
...

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
...

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,740
...

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
...

54
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
...

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
...

56
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,680
massive explosions. Our target? Why this beautiful RV? RV stands for recreational

57
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,880
vehicle and blowing stuff up is a form of recreation for us.

58
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,960
Now we've chosen this because Mythbusters has a long and illustrious history

59
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:43,400
messing with these things. We've driven through them.

60
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,760
We've fired rocket propelled grenades at them. Heck, we've even used them for show

61
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,040
openers. Put your pants back on. We've got work to do. Today we're going to continue

62
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,720
that long and illustrious history by turning this into dust beautifully. It's

63
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,760
not just history that makes the RV the perfect pick. That's what I'm talking

64
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,720
about. But being made of materials both hard and soft it should make for a

65
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,480
kaleidoscopic kaboom. A little color for our RV. Especially at a frame rate

66
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:22,640
that's mind-blowingly fast. There we go. Pop quiz. What is this referring to? The

67
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,120
answer is that that's the frame rate that this camera is going to be

68
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,480
documenting our explosion in. And by the way this will be the fastest frame rate

69
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:35,200
that we've ever documented an explosion with. Yep, despite conducting over 900

70
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:42,080
explosions. When it comes to dissecting a detonation their explosive frame rate

71
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,920
has maxed out at 10,000 frames per second. Five times slower than this final

72
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,320
farewell. That was a little more energetic than I thought. And with an

73
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,520
enormous amount of info the guys are going large. That is a lot of boom. But

74
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:06,600
not before some science. This right here is 855 pounds of info. Now when this

75
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,320
stuff goes off it's going to release 5,355 megajoules. Sounds like a lot of

76
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,960
energy right? Well it is but consider this. The energy contained per pound in a

77
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,560
candy bar is greater than that inside a stick of dynamite. Now that means that

78
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,480
this isn't just about the total energy content it's about the speed of the

79
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,200
release. When that candy bar is consumed it's going to take pretty much a day to

80
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,440
release all its energy. That when we set off this info it's going to be released

81
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,600
in a tiny fraction of a second. And that's a whole different kettle of fish.

82
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:50,680
With a detonation velocity of 14,000 feet per second. Another day another 850

83
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:57,560
pounds of explosives. The info will sure pack a punch. Last one. There you go.

84
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,240
That's it. But will it be spectacular enough for Adam and Jamie to hang up

85
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,560
their high-speed camera once and for all?

86
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:16,280
To find out the guys hunker in the bunker. This is where I want to survive a

87
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:21,400
zombie apocalypse. And get ready to rock.

88
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:28,280
Here we go. We're about to detonate our RV with 850 pounds of info on your mark Mr.

89
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:41,080
Heidemann. Okay detonate in five, four, three, two, one.

90
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,400
Oh!

91
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:12,520
There's nothing left. No hole, no nothing. It's like it wasn't there.

92
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,520
If Jamie wanted big boon.

93
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Jamie got big boon. Because their RV has gone AWOL. Wow! I can see chunks everywhere.

94
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,800
But this experiment was all about creating a high speed at the bomb. So was it job done?

95
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,840
All right this is the best part watching it on high speed. To find out Adam starts by queuing

96
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:56,280
the close-up. Oh look at that. You get to look at the inside of our RV lighting up.

97
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:03,320
That's 850 pounds of info. Expanding at give or take 15 times the speed of a bullet.

98
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:10,760
Oh look at that. It's so beautiful. If the close-up had you impressed just wait for the wide.

99
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:19,160
Oh and there comes the shockwave. That might be the most beautiful shockwave we have ever recorded.

100
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Look at it. It's like a lens. It's like a photoshop effect.

101
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:33,880
Just incredible. Never ever have we gotten this deep view on an explosion.

102
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:42,040
It's taken 14 years to get this footage. Possible now only because of incredible camera technology.

103
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:50,600
And the second and unskillset of Adam and Jamie. Wow that's intense. It's just this

104
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,240
incredibly bright light right there. I love that.

105
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:02,760
For this final farewell it's well and truly first mission accomplished.

106
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,440
Well that was a pretty spectacular way to start out the finale episode. What do you think?

107
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,760
Darn tootin. Love those big blast bubbles. Me too. Let's get out of here. Yeah.

108
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,920
Oh that's not all. If you like that stick around it gets much much better.

109
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Still to come in this epic final episode. That's it. Thank you sir. Busters Goodbye goes super

110
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:36,600
sunny. Oh whoa. Adam takes a crash course through memory lane. I can't see. And a fan favorite

111
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,720
sees the guy's end with a bang. Three two one.

112
00:09:49,880 --> 00:10:00,680
After 14 unforgettable years. It's scientific. And 3000 eclectic experiments. This is gonna kill you.

113
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:11,320
This is Adam and Jamie's final farewell. Wow. And the chaos is about to get cranked up to the max.

114
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,400
So what's next? Well I've been trying to think of something that is awesome and spectacular yet

115
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:24,280
also poignant and pays homage to the totality of our history. That's deep. Well I think I've come

116
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:37,480
up with something. Do you remember Truck Wedge? Yeah it was great. So what I'm thinking of is

117
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:43,240
we build a new improved truck wedge. Attach it to a more powerful and bigger truck. And then on a

118
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,280
runway we line up all 14 years of Mythbusters history all the props the wooden cutouts the

119
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,560
busters the cars the planes the boats and we drive right through the center of all of it.

120
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:58,920
So it's a symbolic kind of a thing. Indeed it is. When it comes to wanting destruction.

121
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,960
That was awesome. And scientific slaughter. The Mythbusters have set the bar high.

122
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:16,360
But in this grand finale they're raising that bar to infinity and beyond.

123
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,360
No final episode of Mythbusters would be complete unless we came to our favorite and most iconic

124
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:35,240
location. I am standing on the runway at the Alameda Naval Station. It is a mile and a half of pure

125
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,920
experimental goodness. And it is on this runway that we are going to do the Mythbusters version

126
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:48,600
of a trip down memory lane. Yep it's here that Adam's setting up the most expansive experiment

127
00:11:48,600 --> 00:12:01,160
the guys have ever done. A truck wedge finale that will test momentum versus Mythbusters history

128
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:11,400
in a mile long lineup of 60 cars. That is exactly as much fun as it seems. And almost 200 props from

129
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:20,280
the past. There we go not one but two water heater rocket little red schoolhouses. If the truck makes

130
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:28,120
it all the way it'll be the ultimate hit and run. Tab A slot B you need planes built in a hurry come

131
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:34,760
to Savage Plane Reconstruction. But with the course still days away from being ready it's over

132
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:42,440
to Jamie who's got to contrive and construct the mother of all steel wedges. I've got to build this

133
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,480
massive steel wedge that I'm going to attach to the truck. Now to do that I've designed a number

134
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:53,880
of triangular steel plates that will weld into this structure. That's not the difficult part. The

135
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,400
difficult part is I need to get things sucked in really close so that I can attach it securely to

136
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:07,880
the chassis and it'll fit. Slowly but surely the wedge starts to take shape. We mean business.

137
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:14,760
And it's shape that is critical to this epic experiment. Thanks to its pointed nose and cone

138
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,520
like contours the welded steel wedge should be able to slice through everything in its path.

139
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:28,840
And then push it to the side provided the truck speed stays high and its driver stays on target.

140
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:37,320
And with this last ever rig nearly ready Jamie's getting jazzed. This is the kind of stuff that I

141
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:45,640
really like because this went from a thing in the computer to a thing that's really kind of

142
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:53,400
impressively nasty and pretty bad ass. Indeed. But before it lets rip for real.

143
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:05,560
There's another final fling to begin. Pop quiz which myth buster has put their life on the line

144
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:22,200
more than any other me. No you. Wrong again Tory. Oh actually.

145
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,920
I was thinking of buster. Well he has put himself out there for us indeed and in this

146
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:39,640
final episode I think that we should say goodbye to buster in a manner properly befitting his

147
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:50,600
incredible contribution like a superhero. Exactly. Faster than a speeding bullet. Stand by for buster's

148
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:57,400
last stand. What is it that defines a superhero. I tell you what doesn't it's not a phone booth.

149
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:07,400
It's not a costume as good as I look in this costume. No. What defines a superhero is that

150
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:13,400
they sacrifice their own existence for the betterment of humanity and for the world and who on

151
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:19,000
the myth buster's crew qualifies as a superhero. It's buster for the last 13 and a half years buster

152
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,840
has repeatedly sacrificed himself thrown himself on the altar of science for your entertainment

153
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:31,160
but more importantly for your knowledge and in this episode buster is retiring and he has chosen

154
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:40,200
to go out in a manner that befits his status. In this box right here is the new star of myth buster's.

155
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:49,240
It was 2003 when buster first set foot in M5. Oh look at that. Where it was love at first sight.

156
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,600
I think we should call him buster at least until his second day when the abuse began.

157
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,520
In his second week things got worse.

158
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:13,560
And that set the scene for 14 long years. How are you feeling buddy. In the name of science

159
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,640
buster's been repeatedly blown up.

160
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:29,240
Crashed that is a headache and hurled to the ground. Without doubt buster's been a true hero

161
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:36,680
taking one for the team time and time again. So what awaits him in his last ever experiment.

162
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,200
Oh he's ready.

163
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:48,520
Well to say he's shooting for the moon would be on the right track. Yes this rocket sled is

164
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,000
buster's chosen means of saying goodbye to the series and it's going to get him up to over the

165
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:00,520
speed of sound for a thousand feet to his final destination being the superhero that he is somewhere

166
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:07,560
on the other side of this wall. That's right with buster welded into position he's going to go

167
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:15,800
super sonic for science. I think that's going to do it. But not before he's dressed like the

168
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,840
superhero that he is buster. I'd like to say that it's been an honor and a pleasure working with

169
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,960
you. I have gained much enjoyment and knowledge in our association and I'm going to send you

170
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,920
down with your favorite bottle of myth buster champagne. You ready buddy. Here goes for old time's

171
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:45,000
sake. That is so appropriate. Sorry this one's real. Oh man. Thank you sir. With buster bruised for the

172
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,240
penultimate time Adam heads down when to paint a suitable target. I think that is fitting.

173
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:59,080
And next it's time for the Rockets. Rocket motors of this size and type put out five thousand six

174
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,800
hundred and twenty pounds of thrust and we're going to have ten of them on our rocket sled.

175
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,920
That's what's going to propel buster to speeds and access of the speed of sound by the time it hits

176
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:16,360
the barrier. When the rockets are lit a jet stream of gas will blast out the back and because every

177
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:22,760
action has an equal and opposite reaction that glass will push the sled forward at almost

178
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:29,640
eight hundred miles per hour. Buster. It's the stuntman of all of our dreams.

179
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:38,440
With the goodbyes said the guys go down the tube for the countdown. All right guys I'm going to give

180
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,680
you a ten second count. You ready Mr. Heidemann. I'm ready. Okay this is buster's last stand.

181
00:18:45,320 --> 00:19:00,680
Thousand foot rocket sled ride to the end. In ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One.

182
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:13,160
After a decade of destructive dedication. Nice work buster. Nice work.

183
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:23,320
Buster has literally had a blast. His ass is on fire. And in this his last ever episode

184
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:30,200
it's time to say goodbye. Buster it's the stuntman of all of our dreams.

185
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:39,480
In more ways than one it's quite literally doom and gloom as a surely an omen storm has

186
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:48,280
suddenly let loose. But it's too late to back out now because buster's got a date with destiny.

187
00:19:48,840 --> 00:20:01,560
This is buster's last stand. Thousand foot rocket sled ride to the end. In five. Four. Three. Two. One.

188
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,720
One. Two.

189
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:17,720
Wow. Boy you can feel that. You're really good. Something broke the speed of sound while we were watching it.

190
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:27,720
It was a perfectly rocket sled sized hole in the wall that he flew into. Yeah that didn't mess around. Oh no.

191
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaking at 780 miles an hour. It's no surprise that their pristine target is now just a trouble of rubble. Yeah that's a hole.

192
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:52,680
But as for buster he's gone. The myth busters look high and low. I think he's in the hill. Yeah he might be.

193
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:58,760
But fine not a bit of his body anywhere. I think buster's been totally disintegrated.

194
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:09,880
And the high speed shows why. As buster hits the wall faster than a speeding bullet there's a mysterious flash of light before he simply vanishes.

195
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:19,480
The five million jewel impact greater than he had ever experienced before has literally caused him to disappear without a trace.

196
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:26,280
So buster wherever you are this heroic replay is for you.

197
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,280
Yeah.

198
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,280
Back where it all began. Jamie is a man on a mission.

199
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:24,680
Perfect. He's making a super reinforced truck wedge for the most destructive experiment in myth busters history.

200
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:35,880
And stage one is done. Well that was a good hard day's work but it's strong I tell you I think it's going to do the job. Here's hoping.

201
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:43,720
It's been a beast of a build. But back at Alameda. Adam's also been cooking with gas.

202
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:53,480
Because his ultimate crash course featuring 200 myth busters mementos is ready to rock.

203
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:03,960
And here's how this blast through the past is going to go down. Our new improved wedge will be driving through two rows of 10 cars.

204
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:10,760
We painted numbers on the top 10 through one so it's a countdown all the way to the end and these 20 cars.

205
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,240
Is just the beginning.

206
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:21,160
Once we made it through all 20 cars and it's time for a walk down memory lane starting out with 2003.

207
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,840
We've got barrel of bricks microwave miss escape from Alcatraz ducks quack won't echo tree cannon and exploding toilet.

208
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Fire in 2004 we've got killer washing machine we've got jet taxi job breaker electrocution in the bathtub and needle in a haystack.

209
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:45,480
That is what's found needle 2005 salsa prison escape bullets underwater killer tissue box

210
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,720
shark wig and the Christmas trees mean it's the myth busters holiday special.

211
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:50,440
The next.

212
00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:01,320
2006 means shredded airplane Archimedes death ray great gas conspiracy and mementos and soda.

213
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,720
Don't tell Jamie.

214
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:19,000
And so it goes on for 14 years. Adams picked the most iconic props from the most famous episodes to stand and deliver in the ultimate truck wedge test.

215
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,960
But seeing memory lane laid out has had an unexpected effect.

216
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:36,520
Our original goal in creating this destructive drive through myth busters memory lane was to engender a kind of catharsis for you the audience and say goodbye to the show.

217
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,680
The unexpected result is that it's created a catharsis for me.

218
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:49,320
It demonstrates a tremendous amount of work and love and effort and I have to say taking a walk through it is pretty emotional and it's kind of hard to say goodbye.

219
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,960
It's definitely the end of an era. But before anyone can get too afflicted.

220
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:05,960
Jamie arrives with a turbocharged truck complete with a now or never knows cone.

221
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:17,400
Oh look at this thing his last ever bill. Absolutely badass.

222
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:27,160
The wedge is made of eight pieces of half inch thick steel aligned into a cone.

223
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Behind it tubular steel connects the wedge directly to the truck over the cab two layers of bullet proof glass should ensure there'll be no driver decapitation.

224
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,000
But she's not quite ready to roll yet. All right on.

225
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,080
I think it's about right.

226
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,800
Without a doubt the trucks dressed to kill.

227
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,960
That's better. Let's get this show on the road. It's driver not so much.

228
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:11,320
Yeah let's do this thing with Jamie watching on. I just hope he doesn't get hurt. No it could happen.

229
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,760
Adam puts the pedal to the metal. Seven gear coming up to 30.

230
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:27,640
But will the wedge have the strength to give the runway the send off it so dearly deserves. Ladies and gentlemen this is

231
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,640
a destructive wedge through memory lane and three two one.

232
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,160
When it comes to car carnage

233
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:50,520
Adam and Jamie are as good as it gets. This is why we can't have nice things.

234
00:26:51,160 --> 00:27:00,040
But it was season 12's truck wedge that took their vehicular violence to a whole new level. I think we just solved my traffic problem.

235
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,480
So now they're ramping data with a supersize truck.

236
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:18,680
A fearsome wedge and the ultimate crash course stand by for some final physics momentum versus myth busters history.

237
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,400
To find out which will win Adams in the hot seat.

238
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,160
Oh seriously the horn doesn't work. All right sound effects give me a horn.

239
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,920
Yeah let's do this thing.

240
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:45,640
But before any wedge wipeout Adams first going to drive past the crash course. There we go.

241
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:53,240
25. The double check that the truck and wedge can cope. Eight gear this is my butter gear.

242
00:27:53,800 --> 00:28:01,400
When being driven at speeds that are dangerously fast. Getting into 45. That's about the speed I'll hit the cars.

243
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,240
And it's so far so good.

244
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,840
The truck and wedge are both stable and fast.

245
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,000
Getting to the end. Coming to a complete halt here and...

246
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Which means that Adam can reset. That was a test run.

247
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:37,000
And get ready for this ultimate blast through the past where the danger is quite literally going to be through the roof.

248
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,080
All right. It is just you and me now. It's you and me.

249
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,320
The sun is setting. It's a beautiful afternoon in San Francisco.

250
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,560
And I'm going to miss this part of the job. This show. This job.

251
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:06,680
After an epic 14 years. Here we go. It's time for the runway's last run out.

252
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,560
There he goes. Will Jamie's world class wedge.

253
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:19,160
Seven here coming up to 30. Combined with Adam's second to none drive skills. Eight here.

254
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,320
To make it all the way through their crazy crash course.

255
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,520
Three, five miles per hour. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen.

256
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,560
This is a destructive wedge from memory lane.

257
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,640
In three, two, one.

258
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,120
Yeah! Right through! Yeah!

259
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,440
Hey! Two, three, five, boom!

260
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Six, boom! Oh, yeah!

261
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,640
Seven, boom! Ha-ha! Eight, boom!

262
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:13,720
Oh, yeah! Holy crap! This is insane!

263
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,720
Get off my truck, Porsche!

264
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,720
Oh, my God! I can't see! I can't see!

265
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,720
There we go. Ladies and gentlemen.

266
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,600
Oh, yes!

267
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,760
Now that's what I call a demolition derby.

268
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,720
Sir, are you all right?

269
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,960
Yeah! Yeah, I'm all right!

270
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,160
Ha-ha-ha!

271
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,840
Incredibly, Adam's unscathed, but the wedge, not so much.

272
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,640
Well, there's your problem.

273
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,440
Look at what I have wrought!

274
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,240
It held. It took a beating, but it did its job.

275
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,280
The wedge may be battered, but that's nothing compared to the crash course,

276
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,480
which has been completely torn apart. For more than a mile of runway,

277
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,640
there's a level of destruction that is absolutely astonishing.

278
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:42,120
And it's all thanks to momentum. Because the wedge pushed the props up and out,

279
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:48,040
the truck never got slowed down, meaning that it could continue its demolition derby

280
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,960
all the way to the end. But what was it like to drive?

281
00:31:52,280 --> 00:32:01,320
That was far more intense than I expected it to be, as evidenced by the fact that

282
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,640
it looks like about 20% of what I drove through stayed with me.

283
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:13,320
So to recap, I hit about 45 miles an hour at the very moment I got to the first row of 20 cars.

284
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,040
And I started plowing through things. I went through cement wall, I went through fish tanks,

285
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,520
I went through bathtubs, I went through popcorn houses.

286
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,720
But about halfway through, some cardboard and plywood decided to stay on my windshield.

287
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:37,480
Now, I did see a red car travel all the way up the front, and I noted that it went past my left side.

288
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,920
That made me very happy for this big heavy wall beam right there.

289
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,640
And at a certain point, I realized I hadn't hit something in a while,

290
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:52,360
and that's when the Tuma-Gyver mail trucks aimed me towards the rocket car and allowed me to finish

291
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:57,480
this with a perfect smack right into the butt end of that to complete this run.

292
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,120
That, ladies and gentlemen, is catharsis.

293
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:14,120
Catharsis and catastrophe. A double dose of epic destruction, that's the perfect final physics

294
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,080
farewell for this remarkable runway.

295
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,680
Well, I guess that's it then. I think we got one more thing. Let's get out of here.

296
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,960
Thanks for your hard work, Carr.

297
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,200
Still to come. 5,001 pounds of info.

298
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,200
Adam and Jamie sign off in the only way they can.

299
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,880
Three, two, one.

300
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:58,920
After a final season full of stunning statistics and 14 years full of spectacular science,

301
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,800
just one question remains. What was the best ever story?

302
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,240
What is my favorite myth? I'm going to have to go with the most astonishing thing I've ever

303
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:14,280
gotten to do in the history of Mythbusters, and that is put on a full pressurized spacesuit

304
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:20,920
and fly to the edge of space in a U2 plane. Hands down, best thing I've ever gotten to do.

305
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:28,040
Yep, U2's trip to the edge of space was a literal highlight, but it's not at the top of Jamie's list.

306
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,720
I don't really have any favorite myths. I have favorite things that I've done during this,

307
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:35,880
like water skiing behind a rowboat or riding a motorcycle across a lake.

308
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,160
And then there are things that we've built, like the steam machine gun. Those are great.

309
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,120
Nice work, man.

310
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,360
Deep in the heart of the New Mexican desert.

311
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,480
Adam and Jamie are ending their wild ride in the only way they can.

312
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:09,740
Boom.

313
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,160
This is it. This is the end. Way back in the early days of Mythbusters,

314
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:23,000
the explosion that put us on the map was the detonation of a cement truck with 850 pounds of explosives.

315
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:35,480
So when it came time to figure out a way to wrap up this series, this was the only choice.

316
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:41,160
I'm introducing you now to a soon-to-be former cement truck. This will be Mythbusters' last

317
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:48,920
ever explosion. Yes, and it'll be our biggest. Yep, for their last ever sequence.

318
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:58,680
There it is. The guys are going to redo their most famous blast and take it to the max.

319
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:08,440
Now what's being prepared here, that's beautiful, is the largest explosion in Mythbusters history.

320
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:16,520
Its predecessor was when Keri Grant and Tori made diamonds with 5,000 pounds of explosives.

321
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,440
In here, we're putting more.

322
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:31,480
Adam and Jamie are using their 14-year explosive experience to say goodbye with the most epic

323
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:38,040
explosion they've ever done. Inside this cement truck, 5,000 pounds of info.

324
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,600
And we are putting more than that in here, Mr. Heidemann.

325
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,360
One pound. One pound. 5,000 and one pounds.

326
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:50,360
The largest explosion in Mythbusters history. And the last one. Yep.

327
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:58,600
With the cement truck ready for the ultimate clear-out, the guys are going big, then going home.

328
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,120
Before we commence with this final detonation, I have to admit it is an emotional day.

329
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,640
We've been doing this job for 14 years now, and over that time, we have done just an endless

330
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,640
number of the most ludicrous.

331
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,160
Hilarious.

332
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:33,560
Oh yeah.

333
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,120
Don't I look like silent death?

334
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:37,400
Bizarre.

335
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:42,840
Dangerous.

336
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,080
Am I missing a time for help?

337
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,520
Something just hit me!

338
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,160
Wonderful things.

339
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,640
Yeah, it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

340
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:07,240
It is in gentlemen 70,000 feet. This is not a bad way to spend your day.

341
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,680
But more than any of that, what has really fundamentally changed the way I think as a person

342
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,520
is what I've learned on this show.

343
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,680
This is a lead balloon.

344
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,360
What I've encountered and the problems that I've had to solve.

345
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,440
Very pleased and terrified.

346
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,680
And it ends here today.

347
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,720
The greatest learning experience of our entire lives.

348
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,320
See you guys on the other side.

349
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:44,280
This is it. The final experiment of Adam and Jamie's monumental myth busting.

350
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,320
Take it away boys.

351
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:58,760
Okay, this is myth busters last ever explosion.

352
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,360
5,001 pounds of amphibes versus a cement truck.

353
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:10,920
Starting in five, four, three, two, one.

354
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:30,760
I think it went off.

355
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:36,920
I'm pretty sure it did. That was magnificent.

356
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:56,920
After 14 years, 260 episodes, 1100 myths, and over 3000 experiments,

357
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,600
that was worth waiting for.

358
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,000
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a blast.

359
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,920
Not to mention a pleasure.

360
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:37,960
Oh, now that's more like it. That's a crater.

361
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,440
Yes, it is. It's 5,001 pounds worth of crater.

362
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,200
Well, I guess that's it then.

363
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,480
I guess it is.

364
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,680
Well, what do we do now?

365
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,560
That's a good question.

366
00:40:58,840 --> 00:40:59,960
Let's get out of here.

367
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,720
So where do we begin? What do we got?

368
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,880
Just a perfect day.

369
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,920
Drink sangria in the park.

370
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:25,960
And then later, when it gets dark, we go home.

371
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:34,120
Just a perfect day.

372
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,080
Feed animals in the zoo.

373
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,960
Then later, a movie too, and then home.

374
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:55,160
Oh, it's such a perfect day.

375
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,160
I'm glad I spent it with you.

376
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:04,520
Oh, such a perfect day.

377
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:09,160
You just keep me hanging on.

378
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,160
You just keep me hanging on.

379
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,920
You
