The MythBusters Implode a Railway Tanker Car With a Powerful Vacuum Effect
The MythBusters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, imploded a railway tanker car with a powerful vacuum in a clip from an episode of their show’s final season. The tanker is now the largest prop the team has ever used on the show, and it was sacrificed to test a myth about whether under the right conditions a tanker car could implode itself.
ICYMI. The implosion is loud, and it’s so unexpected you totally jump. Even @JamieNoTweet. https://t.co/mCedoQNztV
