There is one way that they could have done it. Using a hammer drill and large drill bits, they could have drilled deep holes in the concrete, then used explosives to break it up.

@Goalsplus 3 күн бұрын

I know it's a TV show and they wouldn't have said anything but I wonder if they thought of drilling the cement and putting a load in the hole like a rock breaker or miner would.

@d4slaimless 2 күн бұрын

Not an easy task to drill it though. Could work with big enough load and a number of holes, I think.

@Goalsplus 2 күн бұрын

@@d4slaimless agreed. Some of the demolition and explosives guys are pretty skilled. I know it's getting beyond the myth of simply throwing a stick of dynamite in.

@HappyBeezerStudios 2 күн бұрын

Yeah, instead of hammering from the top, splitting it open. Which could even work without explosives.

@92xsaabaru- 2 күн бұрын

My guess is that embedded explosive in the solid slab of concrete would also damage the drum. In the case of the half slab truck, there was nothing to be done.

@Goalsplus 2 күн бұрын

@92xsaabaru- yes, damage to the drum is a big possibly. An alternative is to drill and use cracking compound or expansion goo whatever it's called. Not exciting TV though.

It's no wonder they kept re-rolling that epic explosion pretty much throughout all the remaining run of the show. There may have been bigger booms in later seasons/eps (not sure if there were though), but this one was, well... iconic. Although I do think I still prefer the "quieter" Salsa-story. Always nice to see Adam and Jamie go head to head plus all the whining and complaining of early-show-Adam never gets old.

@MarcosSantos-jb8qb 2 күн бұрын

Adam said in a video on his channel that jamie reaction in 47:09 was "fake." They forgot to film their reaction, and jamie acted his surprise jump afterward. They als😮o always have slow motion footage of the explosion, but this is one they don't have because the camera didn't work.

As soon as Jamie compared the half-load of concrete in the one mixer to "solid rock," I thought, "If they can build railway tunnels through mountains, there's probably a method you haven't thought of."

@d4slaimless 2 күн бұрын

Well, it is either cutting the rocks or drill and blast. Equipment for both methods won't fit in the cement track. They could try to drill few holes with something suitable in cement similar to drill and blast method and put the explosive load in them. Might have helped.

I wonder if the salsa prison escape story comes from the story of Yoshie Shiratori, a famous anti-hero from Japan who escaped the most secure prison in Japan (at the time) by using soup, or rather the high salt concentration in the soup.

@@omnirath Yes, they were there. The cameramen just missed getting the reaction at the exact moment, that's all. They also had a slow-motion camera on the set, but it failed. You know, there is a reason why Hollywood always has multiple camera crews on set, each with backup cameras, filming from 6 to 8 angles at a time when they are doing some crazy stunt that either cannot be repeated or is insanely expensive. You just have to make sure you get good footage out of it, there is no second chance.

How was that joke? A Canadian applies for a job as a lumberjack. The boss says: "Well, if you can cut 30 trees a day, I'll hire you." The Canadian cheerfully buys the latest and most expensive chainsaw. He starts work the next day. He manages 24 trees. The boss responds: "Unfortunately, that's not enough trees. But you can try again tomorrow." The next day he starts an hour earlier. At the end of the day, he counts 26 trees. "I'll give you one last chance tomorrow," says the boss about the result. So the Canadian starts the next day one hour earlier again, cancels all breaks and when everyone else has left, he is still working: 29 trees. The boss responds: "I'm sorry, but unfortunately I can't hire you!" So the Canadian takes the chainsaw back to the store where he bought it and complains that it doesn't work as well as he was told. So the manager tests the chainsaw: the whole room vibrates and a loud "WHROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA" can be heard. The Canadian reacts in shock: "What's that noise?"
