"Don't try any of what you see at home." "We consult with experts and we take every precaution and we have years of experience in dangerous situations." "On this car conundrum episode of "Mythbusters."" "Jamie and Adam get that sinking feeling." "That sound is so loud." "As they find out what really happens when your car goes into a flood." "Are you doomed or is there a way to escape?" "That's intense." "Then can you really use a tennis ball as a lock pick?" "Yeah, Go for it." "Finally, do the silver screen chase scene clichés match up to reality?" "Which way to destruction?" "Who are the "Mythbusters"?" "Adam savage and Jamie Hyneman." "Between them more than 30 years of special effects experience." "Fun for the whole family." "Joining them, Grant Imahara, Kari Byron, Troy Glechi." "We only have one shot at this." "They don't tell the myths." "They put them to the test." "Under water car escape." "Something tells me this involves a car in the water." "Shockingly, that is true." "This is what I've been wanting to do almost since we started doing this show." "The myth is, you're in a car, it goes into the water and starts to sink." "The myth is you will not be open that door until the cabin fills up with water." "Then you can open the door and escape." "Sounds like you might be cutting it close?" "That's exactly what we're going to find out." "It's the stuff of nightmares and spectacular movie stunts, but this sinking scenario is a real life, life threat so if you're in a vehicle that takes a dive into the depths, is it possible to escape" "or would a watery grave be your fate?" "The myth is, if you're trapped in a sinking car, you have to wait until the cabin fills up with water and the pressure equalizes before it's possible to open a door and swim free." "I think it's pretty obvious what the plan for this one should be." "We got to get a real car, we got to put it in the water and get inside it and go down with it." "Really, I've always wanted to be the dude in the car." " You can be the dude in the car." " Yes." "Better you than me." "Before he gets his feet wet," "Adam sets up a small pressure test." "It's an interestingly improvised rubbery experiment that makes perfect sense to him." "On the right is a box which represents my car." "Like a car it will let water in but slowly." "It will leak out of a lot of corners and edges." "When you see that happening, hopefully this units will demonstrate that the pressure's higher here on this drum that's in the open water than it is on this drum that's in the car." "Adam places a small piece of per respect loosely on the inside of his box that will represent the door of his car." "Each foot the drum is lowered is equivalent to half a psi of pressure." "In the real world, that's a crushing one to 2000 pounds of force on the door." "That's the pressure inside the car, that's the pressure the water the car." "You're inside this car, you're trying to open this door you can't because the pressure outside is higher than the inside." "Pressure differential, it's happening." "Pressure differential occurs because water exerts greater pressure than air." "When a vehicle sinks, the water presses on the doors, holding them shut." "When the cabin fills with water, the inside pressure becomes the same as the outside." "It's only then its grip is released." "After building up and up, the two lines finally meet." "Watch." "And release." "There it goes." "To test this theory in a real life situation, the plan is to suspend a car from a crane." "Adam will be the trapped driver in front while Jamie will be in back wearing a breegtser." "The car will be lowered into the watery depths with safety divers monitoring the entire operation." "Fresh from the classified" "Jamie has found a classic American is he Dan with power windows." "It runs great." "Never to start again." "Now we pull it apart." "First thing we need to do is remove the engine from the car, any oil that would foul the water is a problem." "First he cuts the welds that holds the engine in place." "Wisely put in safety before style" "Jamie torches without his beret." "Then he ties a chain around the engine that is attached to a forklift, trying to give it a gentle tug." "Looks like it doesn't want to come out." "It's holding it." "Maybe it just needs a little coaxing." "What's the matter?" "Haven't you ever seen someone work on a car with an ax?" "His opponent has been wounded and is starting to weaken." "It's coming." "After a protracted battle, the engine finally succumbs." "Jamie is victorious, but the thrill of the kill has gone to his head." "I had to remove the engine from the car to clean the car up, so I did." "Well, there's your problem." "Now that the engine is out, he needs to add its equivalent weight back in." "This thing right here is our engine surrogate." "We need to simulate the amount of weight it represented, because the car might settle into the water differently if we don't." "700 pounds of weight is lowered into the cavity." "This is Jamie's new hydrogen fuel cell engine." "With the weighing checked off, it's time to get wet for science and drive the car into the pool." "To conduct their test, the high school is kindly letting us use their aquatic center." "Go Cougars." "This is where we're going to sink our car." "It's about 13 feet deep right here which should be plenty for us to do our fest." "It's nice and warm." "It will be great." "Jamie's auto has arrived on location." "The engine has been steam cleaned so every trace of oil is gone so it won't foul the waters." "Where's the engine?" "They attach heavy chains, under, over and in between the body of the car and fasten them to a hook suspended from a crane." "This vehicle may not be able to drive, but it sure can fly." "Don't let it go too fast." "You're going to have trouble stopping it." "They park it on the side of the pool." "Lovely." "Then the crew mounts underwater cameras both inside and out for a fish eye view of what's happening beneath the surface." "Aside from his burning enthusiasm," "Adam has a burning question for safety diver Shaun." "Shaun, I'm going to be in the car." "It's going to start filling up with water." "I'm going to hold my breath." "When I run out, what's the backup." "The backup is sitting in your passenger seat right there." "40 cubic feet of air waiting for you with a five foot long hose." "Remember to purge it and breathe normally." "It's ready to go." "And Jamie will be sitting here with his rebreather with this standing by in case I need it." "Jamie isn't in the back to look pretty." "He's a certified dive master with 30 years of experience and 3,000 dives under his weight belt." "I'm just going to be sitting there relaxing waiting for Adam to freak out, and I'll be right there with the regulator." "So as not to skew the test, by addind extra air," "Jamie will be using a rebreather instead of regular scuba tanks." "Rebreathers recycle exhale breath, and therefore don't create bubbles." "It's a self contained, unit that's very 007." "Adam is starting to lose his cool." "I'm actually a little freaked out, because I'm going to be like holding myself up off the dashboard." "My face will be planted into the windshield." "I didn't take that into account." "It's going to make this a lot more difficult to stay focused and calm." "Let's go do it." "The safety divers swim into position." "And Jamie has some final sage words of advice." "Adam, I only have one thing to say to you." "Don't pee in the pool, because I'm in the car there with you." "Time for Adam to get inside for the ride of his life." "Ready?" "I'm all set." "Wearing no scuba gear, 13 feet under water, does Adam think he'll sink or swim?" "I think it's entirely likely" "I'll need oxygen before the test is concluded." "I can't get it into gear." "Is that a problem?" "Coming up, one myth hits the road." "While another sinks." "It sent my knees." "Now for some crash, bash and smash." "What do we got to smash?" "We have a four course menu of demolition and destruction." "We have cars, fruit stand, fence, semi trailer and rv." "We are testing Hollywood crash clichés." "Like the chase scene where they drive through the fruit stand and everybody is fine." "Exactly." "Yeah." "Or like in the 70s cop show when they bust through the chain link fence." "And if you can drive through an RV like it's not even there." "Like in Mad Max." "Just like Mad Max." "What's the semi for." "Instant convertible." "That's where the truck comes across the road, there's no time to stop, cuts the roof clean off but the driver is unharped." "This is going to be fun." "So, in the real world, would these crash clichés really look like this?" "And would you really drive away unharmed?" "How do you guys want to test this." "We set up the obstacles just like in the movies and hit it with a real car and see what really happens." "We're going to radio control some cars." "Let's go to the guys in e tech." "The tow system is already in place." "Good idea." "What's first?" "Melons anyone?" "It's a '70s favorite." "A spectacular fruit stand drive through that leaves driver and car completely undamaged." "And where better to test the reality of a car crash than e tech, where last time the team hit repeatedly a moose loose on the road." "But this time, out goes the animal and in comes the rotten fruit and vegetables." "These are going to be our fruit stands." "This is our classic car chase scene." "Which way to the destruction?" "The car drives into the fruit stand, the vendor jumps out of the way and it keeps right on driving." "If you do crash into a frud stand, would you be able to continue the chase?" "My feeling is you're going to smash up your radiator." "Your car's gonna overheat and you're gonna stall in the side of the road and the cops gonna catch you." "Hope no car gonna come and crash into my fruit stand." "Probably shouldn't have set it up there then because real soon, that's going to be a high speed pursuit highway." "We're going to have the car going at 70 miles an hour." "Because let's face it, this is ahigh speed chase, and you want to be going as fast as you can and be able to control the car." "So that's why we're taking 70 miles an hour." "So this is the setup for our first Hollywood crash test." "This is the tow vehicle which is going to be pulling our crash vehicle on a two to one pulling ratio." "When this vehicle gets up to 35 miles an hour, this car will be going 70 miles an hour." "It will be towed straight down the track by a cable all the way to the end where it will release." "And hit this fruit stand in a spectacular way, but will it be Hollywood spectacular?" "This is Hollywood crash test into the fruit stand in three, two, one." "Go." "20." "Yeah." "40, 50." "Oh, crap." "60." "That was awesome." "Talk about a tossed fruit salad." "The spray of fruit and vegetables was very Hollywood." "And you can see why it's become such a crash cliché." "It makes for good tv." "That lived to Hollywood spectacle." "It was beautiful." "But in reality, did the car make it through unharmed and was it able to continue its car chase?" "I think even if you did make it through the fruit stand, you can't really see so well out the windshield." "Look at all the smooshy fruit smoothie." "Well, unlike the windshield, the answer seems pretty clear." "Lots of heavy produce on a real life sturdy fruit stand is a dangerous obstacle." "Cool." "Now that you've seen the footage, what do you think." "It looks like a classic Hollywood crash to me." "No wonder they use a fruit stand all the time." "From this angle, it looks like it made it through easily." "Look at the back." "The hood clearly crashed." "There's no way the car would be able to continue the chase." "This one is busted." "Busted." "Busted." "That's not it, right." "Nope." "Chain link fence is next." "Jamie and Adam are testing the myth if your car swerves off the road and into a body of water, to get out alive, you have to wait until it's completely submerged and full of water before you can open the door." "Did you know last year, aaa estimated 11,000 vehicles went off the road and into the water." "As a result of those accidents, 300 people died." "Holy cow, that's a lot of people." "I thought it was more like a freak accident." "Apparently it's a lot more common than that." "Maybe we can help raise awareness as to what these people are facing." "What better way to raise awareness than to raise themselves in a car into the sky and plunge into a pool?" "What are we doing?" "Remember when Adam goes 13 feet under, he won't be wearing breathing apparatus." "The paramedics are on their toes." "Adam has his escape strategy all worked out." "I'm going to try to start opening this door the moment I see the water get above my glass." "If the myth is true," "I won't be able to open that door until the water level inside the car gets to the same point." "Deep breaths, Adam." "It's way too late to put on the brakes." "I couldn't stop now if I wanted to." "As the water rushes in," "Adam is getting that sinking feeling." "Oh, man." "The crane chains go slack, the car is sinking." "The 700 pound fake engine is taking it down nose first exactly as it would in a real situation." "The water is up to my butt now." "All right." "Okay." "It's coming past my waist." "Now I can start to see under the water." "It's coming up under the windshield." "I can feel the pressure." "All right." "I only have a couple more breaths here." "Adam's never this quiet." "What's going on down there?" "The water is leaking in from every open crevice in the car." "Adam is now fully under." "He holds his breath." "Tugs on the door." "Pushes his whole weight against it, but nothing happens." "Finally, he can't hold his breath any longer and signals for Jamie to pass him the regulator." "When the pressure ultimately equalizes, he opens the door and swims to the surface, but it was too late." "That is intense." "No matter how you slice it." "I died." "Let's just put it that way." "That's put a dampener on things." "From the time the water hit Adam's knees took one minute and 51 seconds." "That's a long time when you're drowning." "I held my breath for what felt like 30 seconds trying to push open the door, bracing up inside the cab." "You died." "I died." "Jamie's passive observer view was a little erie." "I was watching the guy drown." "He's like going nuts on that door." "He's using up his oxygen and it didn't take him that long to run out." "You don't want to be in a car when it goes down like that." "It's scary." "The bottom line is Adam ran out of air before he could open the door." "That myth is confirmed." "I could not open the door until the cab seemed to be full of water for awhile." "Yeah." "You were giving it all you could." "You weren't able to do anything with that door until we started to level out." "That's the point that you opened the door." "That was quite awhile." "Differential pressure can be such a downer." "Still to come." "Crashes empire." "This is awesome." "More spectacular crash test clichés." "Kari, Grant and Troy are taking on Hollywood crash clichés." "After the car was busted from a fruit stand drive through, so was the myth." "Next stop, it's the old chase scene gate crash." "The question is would it really fly off the hood like so much set dressing or would there be real life repercussions." "This isn't a film prop." "It's steel and heavy." "Most importantly the guys have rigged it realistically." "The chain link fences are pretty sturdy, especially the gate section of the fence." "I think it's going to do serious damage to the car." "The things we're looking for is the car drivable after it bangs through the fence and does it look like Hollywood?" "I really doubt the part where it's going to look like Hollywood." "I don't think it's just gonna go ink and you're going to drive through." "I think I'm gonna go with busted on this one." "Let's wrack this thing." "This is Hollywood gate crashing test in three, two, one." "Go." "20 miles an hour." "30 miles an hour." "40, 50 miles." "60 miles an hour." "70 miles an hour." "On first impressions, there's only one conclusion." "That was so Hollywood." "I got to say that was great, just like in the movies." "Cars come up to the gate, crashes through it and keeps on going." "The gate totally exploded." "That was beautiful." "I didn't expect that at all." "We were looking to see if this was going to look like Hollywood." "It looked like Hollywood." "The gate busted open." "I was wrong." "I'm totally excited about that." "Yes, it was the perfect example of a Hollywood gate crash." "It flew open." "The car appeared to breeze through unharmed, or did it?" "Let me tell you, if I was an action hero," "I think the air bags go off and the horn keep going would be pretty annoying." "It would be very distracting while you're driving." "Distracting, impractical and dangerous." "But as Grant proves, it's still drivable." "Not the smoothest drive, but it still works." "So where does that leave us?" "Well, runs!" "I don't want to call it confirmed because the air bag deployed." "What if we call it plausible cause a lot of older cars don't have airbags." "Good point." "it looked like Hollywood, you can still drive the car." "This one is plausible." "Plausible, plausible." "It's onward and upward." "Because next, Mad Max gets put under the "Mythbusters" microscope." "In the movie, as an RV stalls accross the highway a cop car punches cleanly through it able to continue its high speed pursuit." "I don't want to call Grant a primadonna, but he's been asking pour a trailer for a long time." "I can finally say I'll be in my trailer." "He better enjoy it, he's not going to have it for long." "With all these myths, we're looking for two things." "We want to see if these crashes do look like they do in the Hollywood movies and after they're done crashing through whatever it is, will they continue to run like they do in the movies?" "Mr. Imahara, you're wanted onset?" "Grant?" "Grant?" "Did not want to see that." "Just like the movie, the car and caravan is stalled across the highway and there's just time for a quick prediction." "What I think is in reality, we're going to see e car run into the frame of the rv and that trailer is going to go boom." "It's not going to punch through like you see in the movie." "Don't want any unnecessary explosions." "It's just going to hit it and push it and there will be a lot of destruction." "Everything is good to go." "Are you ready to see what happens in real life?" "How do you feel about us using your trailer." " You're not gonna hurt it, are you?" " Nah, she'll be fine." "Yeah, no problem." "This is trailer destruction in three, two, one." "Hit it!" "Ten, 20, 30, 40." "Here it comes." "60, 70 miles an hour." "My trailer." "There was nothing Hollywood about that." "That was simply a car wreck." "We completely destroyed that trailer." "There was no hole punch." "It was goodbye to the trailer." "It is pretty flat." "That's why we can never have anything nice." "Don't worry, buddy." "We'll put it back together." "Grant's days as a pampered tv star have gone up in smoke." "Crashes and fire, this is awesome." "The trailer is trashed and the conclusions are quick to follow." "That was a very spectacular crash, but it wasn't like in the movie where they punch a clean hole through and keep going." "And the car, it's not drivable." "They're definitely not continuing their chase." "That was awesome." "The car hit the chassis and the trailer pretty much disappeared." "But this myth is busted on both accounts." "Not only did it not look like the Hollywood stunt, but the car was not drivable after the crash, so busted on both accounts." "What the was that?" "Sorry it took me so long." "Coming right up." "That's so cold." "Adam sticks the boot in." "Then there's some lock pick lunacy." "All right Grant." "Please do not try what we do this show at home." "We're what we call experts." "Stay safe." "Back at the pool," "Jamie and Adam are testing ways to escape a car plunged into depths." "They've discovered that if you wait until the pressure equalizes, it could be too late." "They're going to try out a modified survival technique." "Here we are, day two." "The first maneuver on their cheating death checklist is to try to open the door before the car starts to sink." "I figure for this technique to work, you need to do it the minute you hit the water." "If you hesitate, it's all over and you got to ride it out." "Here we go." "Adam's plan of action is." "I'm going to wait until the water gets to my ankles and then I'm going to try to open the door." "Here we go." "Oh, man." "That sound is so wrong." "The water rushes in." "I start to see it on the floor." "And it's coming up to my ankles." "Now I'm going to try to open the door." "Adam rushes out." "Exit via the door, totally viable." "I waited until the water was up to the top of the shoes and I was still able to push the door open." "The water rises slowly upwards." "Next he's going to wait until it gets to my waist." "Aaa now I'm looking at my knees." "I'm not going to be able to open this door." "This one is no pushover as the water level climbs so does the amount of pressure." "Adam has to brace himself against the opposite door to force it open." "I was able to do it." "But only just." "This time he's going even higher." "I'm going to wait until I see water hit the top of this window." "Then I'm going to use my strength against the opposite door to push it open." "Dude, I'm going to have dreams about this." "Water is getting to the top of the window here." "Here we go." "It's almost at the top." "Almost there." "Three, two, one." "Go." "The differential pressure on the other side of the door has become too strong and holding it shut." "Adam gainly pushes back but he's like a crill fighting a whale." "It's not long before it's R.I.P. for our little crewstation." "Exiting the car." "By the time you see water halfway up the window, it's pretty much too late." "Next, the team serves up a viewer mini myth." "This one is being talked about by thousands of fans." "There are myth Cal ways to open your car door locks when you don't have your keys." "You take a tennis ball, cut a hole in it, stick the hole over the lock and press as hard as you can and somehow the air pressure will unlock the car door." "This sounds crazy." "Why don't we try them." "No, they're not making this up." "It's an ace viral video from the Internet scoring millions of hits." "It goes something like this." "A humble tennis ball serves as a lock pick with a small hole cut into the ball, the lady holds the hole to the lock, squeezes the ball and the car unlocks." "Does this actually work?" "Tory gets the balls rolling." " Okay, what do you got?" " All right, so I looked at the video, and she cut a hole about this size." "They're saying the air pressure is opening up the car door lock." "The pressure from the ball." "Yeah, the air pressure from inside the ball." "If it's about air pressure," "I cut another smaller hole in this tennis ball and hopefully that will give us a stronger stream of air." "That's all they need, two tennis balls, two different air pressures and of course the lock." "So just like in the video, electronic door lock." "Go for it." "We'll do the big hole first." "All you need to do is push it as hard as you can." "It's not working." "It looked like I'm doing it the same way." "It's love one for the tennis ball." "But perhaps the ball with the smaller hole and greater air pressure will pop the lock." "Do you want to try the smaller hole?" "Go for it." "Not exactly open sesame." "That's game, set and match for the car." "The team aren't ready to stop play just yet." "Let's take apart what exactly you think people would think this works by." "I think it's all about air pressure." "Why don't we get the shop air and shove it into the lock and blow." "Make a complete seal around the key lock to see if air pressure can at all open the lock." "Sounds like a plan." "After all, if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing." "With a perfect seal, they'll pump in 100 psi of air." "And if anything is going to jiggy the lock, it's this." "Grant, blow us away." "This will be the ideal case for opening the lock with air pressure." "Got compressed air and a good seal." "Ready?" "Despite pumping in more than ten times the air pressure of the tennis ball, the car stays secure." "I think that was pretty definitive." "Sorry, viewers, but the tennis ball opening the door lock is busted." "Even ideal seal, air pressure won't open the car lock." "I think we should show the viewers how we think they did it in the video." "Kari puts the tennis ball to the lock and the door unlocks, but it's not the tennis ball." "It's actually Tory behind the camera with the key." "And this important, you can't believe everything you see on the Internet." "Coming up, we test every survival technique for escaping from a car driven off a bridge." "If you land your car in a lake you can't get out alive unless you open the door at the right moment." "Is there another window of opportunity." "We know it's pretty much impossible to opponent door once the car is submerged in underwater the questioneveryone asks is why didn't you open the window." "That's what I'm going to do a shop test to find out." "I have one electrically powered window and I have one manually powered window." "I'm going to put them under the same type of pressure under water and try to open them." "The 350 pounds is the same amount of pressure at a depth of two feet." "I do not know of a more visual way to make it clear, how much pressure you're dealing with when you put things underwater." "Then he tries to crank it open." "I'm not in a good position for leverage to open this window." "There is not even a sliver of a crack." "There it goes." "It just failed." "The gear just slipped." "Under that kind of pressure, there's so much force pushing the glass against the frame of the car that the manual leave is going to break." "Maybe the electric windows have more power." "but the common perception is, they don't ever work underwater." "This is the electric door, and the first thing I want to do is dump the electric door in the container with the battery and see how long the electrics hold out for." "Here we go." "Battery is on the bottom." "They let it steep." "After 45 minutes, surprisingly, it's still going strong." "You shouldn't be counting on the electrics to allow you to open up the electric window, but it certainly doesn't short out immediately like I thought it would." "It's not out of the question that power windows could still work under water." "What about the effect of differential pressure?" "Ready?" "The force of 350 pounds pressing down on the glass is a real burden." "It's not budging." "You can see it flex." "You can see it trying." "It ain't going nowhere." "With electric or manual windows, neither would you." "Automatic windows, you are just as screwed as you are with manual windows." "350 pounds of pressure, that's only two feet under water." "It's the bare minimum you would be encountering." "As long as there's still air in the cabin of the car, you would not be able to open this window." "Adam isn't prepared to expire a third time." "Now that we know you can't open the window because of the pressure, the question remains is how to open the window." "I would say you break it." "The question is how." "Their plan is to try to break the glass using various items you would have in your reach." "For starters, keys." "Ready?" "Go for it." "Adam smacks the glass, but it doesn't crack." "I'm actually able to get a good solid hit on that." "I would say keys are busted." "Next on call, a cell phone." "You're pounding for your life." "You're screwed." "Then Adam suits up for another attempt." "Adam, this is like you've just stolen a car." "You got a little carried away in escaping the cops." "You're under water and you're in trouble." "Is that my mode of oxygen." "Busting an escape hole may be possible with steel toed boots." "I'm going to get to kicking out this window right away." "But the window doesn't crumble." "If he had just carried out his community service sentence, he would have lived." "No." "Nothing?" "No." "None of the items that would be laying around randomly in your car worked for us to break a window." "So we try the commercially available things." "This is a hammer thing with a point on it." "This is a spring loaded punch." "They try the underwater emergency hammer first." "What a difference?" "One hit." "That was instantaneous." "I'll be darned." "That works." "Amazing." "A product that does exactly what it says." "Next stop is a store bought centerpunch device." "A tool that is normally used to dent a surface prior to drilling." "Put it up against the glass and push." "It does that." "Luckily, I have one more car door." "A new door is submerged." "They're ready for the count." "Three, two, one." "Wow, my hand just went right through." "The reason the store bought products work is because car windows are made of tempered glass." "This means that they've been heat treated." "So that their surfaces are under compression." "Fracture it and this tension shatters." "That's lovely." "The product is meant to get you out of the car did exactly that, perfectly on the first try each." "Doesn't take much, but it has to be the right thing." "Exactly." "The guys are completely sold on the commercially designed escape products." "Well, I've got a centerpunch in my tool kit, and" "I think one is going to find its way into my glove compartment." "On the other side of the brake," "it's a convertible and distant drum." "Crazy." "Kari, Grant and Tory, have already tested three crash clichés." "The fourth and final test involves a unwanted car improvement." "The classic instant convertible." "I've seen this crash a million times." "Car chase is happening, a semi truck comes across at the wrong time." "The car is about to Korean into it, everybody ducks." "They get back into it after the car has gone on the other side and now they're in a convertible." "In the real world, my feeling is, you're gonna hit that trailer, it's gonna smash the windshield, it's gonna rip the top off and pretty much kill whoever's driving it." "Perfect." "So once again, what we're looking for is does it look like it does in the movies." "Stop, stop." "A clean slice all the way across." "Second, is the car drivable." "Could they continue the chase?" "A little more." "If neither of those things are working, then it's busted." "Park it." "With everyone, including an unfortunate Buster, in position, the final filming Fender bender can get under way." "10, 20, 30, 50 miles an hour." "60." "And 70!" "What's on the other side of that burn?" "The remote breaking system seems to have failed." "Oh, my God." "That was crazy." "Look at the roof." "The roof is underneath the truck." "It turned into a convertible." "I can't believe it jumped the berm." "If we slow down the shot, you can see the car launch up the dirt bank and into the wild blue yonder." "There was no one to hurt and nothing to damage back there." "That is a convertible." "It worked." "With the relief comes the results." "Oh, my God." "It ripped the roof right off." "That's pretty good." "It looked like it kept driving and turned into an instant convertible." "He looks all right down there." "What you see here is the result of the braking system not quite fully deploying." "There's a hill and apparently the car went vertical and jumped over the hill." "It's difficult for us to determine exactly the nature of the damage of going underneath the trailer versus hitting the berm." "Safe to say that this one is at least plausible." "Any doubt is dispelled with a look at the footage." "They did indeed have an instant convertible." "For an instant it appeared to be drivable, at least judging by the speed it was going." "Plausible, plausible." "Plausible." "How in the hell are we going to get the car out of here." "Throw it back over the fence." "We have four Hollywood myths." "Instanter convertible, fruit stand." "Two of them were busted and two were plausible." "We never get plausible Hollywood myths." "Sometimes Hollywood tells the truth." "I love these Hollywood myths." "If you drive into a body of water, you don't get more than one chance to escape." "Is there a best hope scenario?" "Jamie and Adam are trying to find out." "Something tells me we're not quite done yet, are we?" "No, we have a whole roster of survival techniques we've heard about for getting out of a car once it's sinking." "I think we owe it to the fans to try them all out." "We're going back to the pool." " We are." " Oki." "I'll get my wet suit." "Excellent." "they've done their homework at M-5, but it's way more exciting diving into real life situations." "The next survival technique we're going to try is breaking the window." "Unfortunately, we can't break the window because it's a pool and people would get glass in their feet." "So what we've done is rigged the window with a lubricant and high voltage so we can really positively pull it down." "The high voltage trigger should be enough to encounter the differential pressure." "Here we go." "That sound again." "Here we go." "Rushing in past my feet." "We are dropping in really fast." "I'm sinking really fast." "I'm about to hit the switch." "In three, two, one." "Adam hits the switch and water enters the cabin like a flood." "But he rides out the torrent and escapes." "I live." "The water rushed in just as I thought it would, and it was intense, but I held my breath." "I only had to hold it for a few seconds because pretty much very quickly the cab filled up." "I was able to just go out the window and come to the surface." "By smashing the window, Adam survived." "In case of emergency, break glass." "As the silent observer of Adam's numerous dunkings." "Jamie has had time to meditate." "He calls his revelation." "Simply patience." "The idea is if you sit there, relax, conserve your energy and therefore your air, you will be able to apply your energy when the car is equalized." "There's not going to be any problem getting out of it, instead of fighting the whole way and then you drowned." "Let the car fill up." "Let it settle on the bottom." "Casually open the door and swim to the surface." "It's the maximum conservation of energy technique." "It's very Jamie." "Gone through this before." "Totally relax." "Adam centers himself inside the cabin." "As the water level rises, he goes with the flow and certificate evenly lets the car fill with water." "He's under just as long as he was in the first test, but now he's not using up oxygen trying to yank open the door." "The emergency air tank remains untouched." "Now that's calm under differential pressure." "When the cabin equalizes, he gently pushes open the door." "I survived!" "The technique worked!" "How many minutes was I down?" " One minute 37." " One minute 37." "That was beautiful." "That was so... that was very cool." "The longest period of time to actually for the car to level out," "once it did though, I still felt like I had plenty of breath." "I just cracked the door, gave a thumbs up to the camera, and swam up to the surface." "Jamie has a final watery rumination." "In the real world, this teak is more problematic." "Everything is happening so fast, you don't know what the depth of the water you're in is." "The best is to open the window before you get water up to it." "In the words of a zen master, in the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities." "In the expert's mind, there are few." "Looks like the guys have narrowed down this myth just so." "How are we going to wrap this one up?" "The original myth we started with that you can't open the car door until the cab is full of water is absolutely confirmed, and we've actually looked at four really viable survival techniques." "Of course the first one is don't drive into the water in the first place." "My favorite was your zen technique." "It worked." "It worked like a charm." "I was watching you go... you're looking at your watch,"
