Starting Thursday July 10 at_9pm ET/PT, MythBusters kicks off all-new episodes. Upcoming episodes include:
· FIRE IN THE HOLE: The
MythBusters tackle some of Hollywood's favorite explosive scenarios. Could a hero really shoot a live grenade in midair and thus render it useless? Could you really contain a
TNT explosion inside an ordinary object like a file cabinet or aquarium?
· HOUSEHOLD DISASTERS: The
MythBusters test household myths. Could a vacuum cleaner explode while sucking up black powder? Could sunscreen scorch your skin? Could a piano crash through your roof? And finally, could an exploding water heater extinguish a house fire?
· COMMERCIAL MYTHS: The
MythBusters go to vertigo-inducing heights to test out some commercial myths. Could you actually bob for an apple while jumping from a 100-foot high bungee cord? And from a viral video, could you really play a match of tennis while both players are standing on top of an airplane's wing?
· ROAD RAGE: The
MythBusters test three car crimes straight from Hollywood: the cliff top push, the two-wheel wipeout, and finally the Corvette barrel roll from "Wanted."
