Only the roof was to code to test whether it would stand up to the force of a hot water heater shooting through it. The rest of the house was just there to hold the roof up and look pretty on the high speed footage. No actual house is going to be constructed like that by a professional.

Jamie is actually underestimating how severe the steam burns could be. If you inhale that steam, and you likely would, it would scald your lungs and you would die a very slow and painful death. These sorts of injuries used to happen from steam engine explosions. Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) brother was killed in such an explosion. IIRC it took him about a week to die from it.

@NACLGames 8 ай бұрын

Well, the Minnesota anecdote they cited was true, I checked. The heater went through multiple floors, and the roof. Said heater was in the basement to boot, meaning it probably went through a (however thin) stone or concrete base. It also did shift the house off it's foundations. It's an unbelievable amount of take-off energy. My thoughts are no roof, Finnish or otherwise, is going to stop that, maybe unless it's got steel rebar in it. Even then, you might not want it to. Energy doesn't just go away on it's own, so if the water heater can't make it through the roof, it's either going to lift the house and probably collapse it entirely, which would be rather unfortunate for anyone inside. Or it's going to ping-pong around the house, probably at over 100m/s by most calculations. Also quite unfortunate for anyone in the house.

Discovery made same mistake as BBC with Top Gear for canceling the original hosts. They don't want to pay more when the show was at it's peak. They replaced Kari, Tori & Grant with new hosts. The new version of the trio (I don't remember their names) flops and the rest are history. In conclusion, TV channels are runs by greedy pigs.

@PrograError 6 ай бұрын

This is plain BS, and fake news, they didn't cancel the host, they even allowed them one last season to close it out. The truth is they are kind of running out of good myths, the season was getting a little stale and the ratings doesn't seem to as good. Top gear was a different game...
