    The mythbusters got three myths from one movie clip. They proved that two were busted and one was plausible. They also, say it was possible for a average joe to land an airplane. However, the expert said probably someone would use the autopilot so an average joe would not have to do such a thing. All sorts of fun and just your average crashes the show always has. This is a great installment and I would not change a thing about the show. I got to admit the skydiving myths were great and Adam and Jamie destroyed the model airplanes. I want to see another viewer special.moreless

    Watching a dummie fall out of a plane at 4000 feet and hitting the ground and literally exploding was pretty cool. Watching Grant on his first skydive was even more impressive. Perhaps he couldn't hear the phrase (testing weather you can converse while free falling) because his fear was so great. Tory's skydive was pretty cool too. The simulator was the best thing. The myth was if someone could be talked in while piloting a jetliner. The first time that either Jamie or Adam tried they crashed. They crashed and burned pretty badly. But each was able to be talked in safely. I would love a turn in that simulator!moreless
