Discovery Channel's Plane Crash
 

Anybody catch this special? Basically, it's a mini-documentary of a giant experiment to crash a Boeing 727 into the desert so that they can study what happens during a plane crash and how safety could potentially be improved. It's pretty damn fascinating.

Not to mention the fact that they apparently spent $4 million on the show. That's got to be one of the biggest budgets ever for a cable show.

Anyway, anybody watch it? (And if not, they're repeating it a couple more times at least.)

Pawn Stars for me

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It was on late a few nights ago and I only caught the beginning of it.

I watched it and was terribly unimpressed. It was almost like they wanted a bigger mess but they blew the money on a one shot deal. Plus the Mexican government was on them to clean up the mess and get out.

Duck Commander is a far better show anyway

I taped it, can't wait to watch it.. Don't spoil the plot!

Yeah, though it's still pretty impressive. There's a reason it's only been done once or twice - it's really damn hard to crash a plane safely!

It's on tomorrow night.

Set to record.

Did somebody screw up and leave the lens cap on? Ha!

I believe we recorded it, but if not, this will be a good reminder to do so. I was very interested in it from the previews.

Taped?

VHS or Betamax?

:)

My god. How many people were on board when they did it? That's terrible.

No but the tards missed the "landing" spot by thousands of feet.

Wow, your avatar is just WOW!!! Nice! They sure stayed up in the air!

isn't that Jesse Jane?

Are you new here? He's had that avatar for years. :p
