  Wow!! Shocked  What an incredible video.  I love Mythbusters.  They are nuts and they have maybe the best job in the world! Cool  Thanks for the post.  I had not seen those before. The video of the tornado decapitation was scary!  A pane of glass like that could probably cut you in two! Sick Sick Anxious Boo hoo!

I apprecuate Reed's enthusiasm, but I'd have a hard time working with that I think.  Especially driving through that weather with him as hyper as he is.  I'd go nuts.

After watching the final test they did (I won't spoil it for anyone who may not have seen it yet) I have to take issue with the design in one major way...debris. It's one thing to fire debris at it head on, but what if he was to take one from the side or even from behind? They never explained that, and the storm chaser guys weren't exactly going out of their way to offer their "expert" opinion on it.

That bugged me in an otherwise really well plotted out episode.
