the average gen alpha-er would rather end themselves than watch a full television episode.

I mean first season was 21 years ago. I was 3 when first episode aired. Im 24 now. I would imagine most watchers are and were HELL OF A LOT OLDER

@@rollingmetal94921 years ago? I reject your reality and substitute my own

Average age or average attention span? Or the fact that the show was just that interesting

i use mythbusters as second monitor content so the longer the episode the better.

They could've strapped the axle up to the frame too... That works when you don't need drive to the wheel. No wait, that wouldn't work with that type of suspension.

I get that reference

@@nattythepanda4692 you do know that apart from the plough itself... the machine is just a truck... there is no mystical property to it beyond the mechanism of the plough

@@daycmetrollingdeihatin5100 Yeah, my joke didn't translate as well as I thought it would, funnier in my head type beat

@@daycmetrollingdeihatin5100 they would need another truck anyway, one that can be destroyed in case something would go wrong

one thing I know is they got wrong is: just how much of an impact does the underlying seafloor have on the whirlpool, and they didn't test for any of that whitch is quite a big oversight as this drasticaly changes the shape and behavior of the vortex last but not least their peak flow numbers are off: why ?, simply because Old Sow doesn't have the fastest rotating eddies, this rotation speed whitch is a bit higher at ~20 knots of course if you want a chance to see a vortex that's strong enough to pull in ships, you're likely going to need a scenario similar to the 2011 japanese tsunami to occur, (albeit with a substantialy larger wawe) whitch is something that is something that is not totaly impossible, but it would be a short lived event that only occurs once in a century or so, meaning it's more like a temporary hazard like a large volcanic eruption than something that's allways there

And Jamie is a certified diving instructor. If anyone could handle it, it would be him. And they still chose Adam 😂

still waiting for the Ancient Chinese Alarm one :V

Still waiting for border slingshot.

@@matheusfiorelli8829 That one was incredible!!!!

I should be surprised and yet I'm not

If anything, it's the past tense that surprises me.

jamie ate him

Yeah he seems like a cat person

Who doesn't?

Yes...tv, that's how it worked.

" I wouldn't worry about something insignificant as the forces of nature either" Whirlpool wise, yeah, but I'd definitely worry about things like storms. Some ships the size of oil tankers have gone down in just lakes. Admittedly, we've got a lot better tech now, but still. Storms can be scary.

I was wondering what would cause that kind of hole in her pants

Yeah same here from new-brunswick and every yeaars at least one i get thrown a snow tsunami by new idiot working for town

All that salt they use is brutal on machines.

Kari 😍 Aim a little higher... She was my high school crush. And Simone Simons from the Dutch metal band Epica. I uh, clearly have a thing for redheads.

I think you've hit on a key difference here that didn't really get discussed. Lake Peigneur inevitably sucked in everything because someone essentially pulled the plug out. A whirlpool formed as a result of water being drawn down to the hole made by a drilling rig. All the water travelling downwards also collected spin because of inertia (think about those penny spinner things where you roll a penny around a big cone, it wants to go down, but momentum creates the spiral. This is the same for each point in the lake water). When Adam and Jamie were on the coastguard boat looking at the whirlpools there, this was slow and fast water mixing. No point in this water is being drawn downwards towards a drain, the water mixes flatly creating a turbulent stream that eventually finds equilibrium. Consider a tornado, air is a fluid and tornados are created in a similar manner by streams of air mixing - tornados don't push things downwards, only outwards. this is why I think, experimentally, Jamie's paddle rig would have lead to a different outcome where Adam would have ended up pressed against the side of the pool - you've even probably seen this behaviour when you use a blender, the liquid in the blender is thrown outwards and up the walls, the direction of travel seems to come upwards through then middle of the vortex (though, I don't think Adam would be keen to enter a pool that was ostensibly a giant blender made by Jamie 😂). Like most science disputes, this definitely comes down to a minutia that English has a hard time distinguishing between 😅 Great comment. Thanks.

but then we heard Tory say 46 feet at the end. Closer would have been better but still wouldn't have worked

@@philsmith6597 Yeah I didn't expect it to work lmao, I just can't stand when the narration just outright lies to over dramatise wtf went on. We clearly saw it miss by country mile so why go on like it only just missed. It's just typical American TV narrators/narration eg, always talking to the audience as if they are a bunch of 5 year olds. Btw Tori said 4 to 6 feet not 46 feet.

@@Legion563 Show was hosted in America sure but it was actually produced bye an Australian company. Also; it was always advertised as an entertainment show, not a science show.

there's an error in YT javascriptcode that broke the channellink button for some channels meaning if you use middle mousebutton or attempt to open in a new tab it'll throw a YT404. ofc google doesn't intend to fix it because if they did they'd have fixed it years ago. there might also be other errors that's the cause but that one is the most obvious one and actually testable without checking their horribly written sourcecode...

You sound lame 😏

yes... also he doesn't even speak english, it's broken english considering all the wrong grammar...
