The first engineer robot should be named Grant in his honour.

Same here

His eyes!!!

Came here to say this

Waiting for the day we find out bro was actually a serial killer who fed women to alligators 😭

creepy af, like who says that about someone screaming

@@kara4131 Errr, when I was in middle school a boy said that to me... he pulled my hair lol

Neuk je werkelijk apen?

I got rid of cable in 2001, a couple of years before this show came out, so I've only seen a handful of episodes over the years. I agree, this is the best show. It nearly made me break down and call the cable company, but I wasn't going to pay all that money for just one show. I'm glad I finally get to watch more episodes.

problem is those are geolocked. I'm in Australia and need to resort to Dailymotion. So even when they release episodes on youtube, people still need to pirate. Just think about that!

Oh damn, way to ruin my day. I didn't know.

@@Richard-ug4elindeed…

Its not official. They didn't pay to copyright the name so the name "mythbusters" is free to use. This account is completely wrong in uploads. None of this is season 5, its season 4. My guess is to get around any claims of posting copyrighted material but its not an official discovery page

​@@James27Simko is meaning we should enjoy the episodes before they got deleted

Yeah that's the control I'm missing

I wonder if they would have been allowed to paint swastika's on the tail. The original Hindenburg did have those because it was in large part funded by the Nazi's and was a major propaganda machine for them. The reason they called it "Hindenburg" is to honor the late president Hindenburg cause there were still a lot of accusations going around that they betrayed him.

Wel not the firstt time they didnt setup a control test

You can still draw a conclusion from the results, just not as good as it could’ve been. But bear in mind; it’s a discovery show, and they don’t have a laboratory. It’s ok if they don’t have science journal levels of data.

The coating keeps the hydrogen in. Otherwise, the gas would leak out. It would be possible, but maybe too unpredictable/dangerous to test

My thoughts exactly. I saw the thick substance and I was like "yup glycerin". Potasium Permanganate and Glycerine react (redox) on their own as well so it basically functions as a starter at this point

That's what a good science show does, makes you curious enough to research stuff on your own.

True, but also probably didn't just want to show everyone watching the recipe for explosives 😅

@@cosminv8751 Adam commented this on his channel. He said he couldn't give people receipts for anything dangerous with ingredients you could easily find, because the authorities who were partners with the show (like the San Francisco LPD, their bomb squad, etc etc) forbid them from doing that.

I think it's more a liability thing than trying to hide the formula for dangerous stuff. Even if it's easy to learn the recipe for, say an explosive, you didn't learn it from MythBusters

They probably bought the license

Well yeah... it's the official Mythbusters channel.

How about alligators? Do they alligate?

Fishing Garett would agree

Idk much about crocodiles, but maybe they are smart enough to realize that there is no point in wasting energy if they can't open their mouth to eat

Still didn’t matter 😂, it clearly showed that it was the hydrogen + the skin and not just the skin

@MrMonkey2475 ik but isn't their thing isbto build their simulation as accurate as possible

@@dixoncider186 easily overlooked and as long as it doesn’t effect the results it’s fine

Well, to be fair, they also didn’t account for all of the myth. The myth was that the skin had a lot to do with the burning, and they only tested that the hydrogen had to do with the burn. Full control should have been with hydrogen + the uncoated skin. Or something similar to that.

yeahhh... 😐

nostalgia*

It wasn't. This aired in 2007

@@misterwishart "umm aktually" 🤓 Glad you googled that for me though.

@@haphazardprism - haha, yeah, cos Mythbusters fans are famously all jocks who don't care for accuracy

That was my first thought too!

Exactly what I thought

That’s what some people like to call “legal separation”.

😂

it wasnt lol idk where you got that info but this is like 15 years old lol

@@heeelion134 Not saying you should go check it again NOW NOW NOW. Just curious.

The official reasons behind the fire are as follows: 1) Due to unfavorable climate conditions at the landing site, the Hindemburg had to make some turn arounds to wait for the storm to subside, during that time the captain made some very sharp ones and that movment snaped some of the cables holding the super structure together, them in turn broke one of the hydrogen containments. 2) In its final aproach the Hindemburg started to loose lift in its stern section and the crew was forced to constantly open the stern ballast in order to keep it stable enough, this means that the open hydrogen containment was evacuating the gas outside the ship wich means that the skin must have failed. Plus eyewitness report a heavy skin-ripple at the top of the stern section not long before the explosion. 3) The ignition happened when the "landing-ropes" touched the ground at the same time when it was raining. With the storm coming in static was all over the place and when the ropes got wet enough they made earth contact, that discharge fired up the hydrogen that was been venting all this time over the rupture at the stern and the entire ship burned into a crisp. So one can say that it was captain error since the entire dissaster happened because he ordered very sharp turns that pushed the structure to the breaking point.

That's actually part of the original story. That the hydrogen ignited because of a spark due to the highly charged skin. When the Hindenburg dropped it's anchor ropes and they got wet the airship discharge it's massive amount of static electricity. However the cotton skin didn't discharge as quickly as the metal frame so a spark flew from the skin to the frame. They were indeed dropping water ballast because they were tail heavy. This was because there was a hole in the hydrogen bladders there.

I find it very counterintuitive that many tests like this use an open flame rather than an electric charge. It is perhaps more important to investigate if the fabric could have been ignited with a static spark. In a 1997 Secrets of the Dead documentary, Addison Bain who first proposed the incendiary paint theory did ignite an old piece of Hindenburg fabric but he had to orient it such that the spark ran perpendicular to the outer cover and used a continuous electric current inconsistent with atmospheric conditions. Also, the fabric would have been wet during the minutes leading up to the fire. In other documentaries he just burned doped fabric with a match. All this does is indicate that the fabric is combustible and can burn with an intense smoky once exposed to a pre-existing fire, but not whether it could have created a catastrophic fire if the ship was filled with helium. For the record he did write a book in 2014 where he tries to address some of the criticism and claimed the fire started behind the tail on the starboard side (only one witness testified this), and was burning for some 30 seconds before it was widely noticed and ignited the hydrogen. He even uses this Mythbusters documentary saying that the fire could burn faster because most of his critics were burning flat pieces of fabric rather than around a circular envelope. Again, this doesn't say much because their models were small-scale and quite curved compared to the full-scale ship where these areas would have been larger flat panels. I haven't read the whole book myself but other experts (historians like Dan Grossman and Patrick Russell) were unimpressed by his rebuttals.

YEAH WTF LOL

Yeah I thought that was weird

Yeah, I came here to find this comment. Really creepy!! “You make the prettiest noises”. 🤮

It was for the camera, same with how he later said that if Cory got caught by the crocodile, he would put him out of his misery, and that his best recourse would be to lose consciousness quickly.

A perspective I’ve seen online is that it caused a globel fear of blimps in general, which lead to the abandonment of future blimp projects due to general public apprehension.

@@andrewbakker7640 Yes, but the question is why. There's been hundreds of worse accidents since Hindenburg. The runway incursion at Tenerife in 1977 is the worst of all time in every possible way. On Hindenburg, there were 62 survivors and 36 deaths. At Tenerife, there were 61 survivors and 583 deaths and those were two fully fueled 747s, so the fireball was enormous. If that had happened to two zeppelins, they would simply have bounced off each other like inflatable canoes in the river. There would've been a mess in the restaurant and people would certainly have spilled their Martinis, but there's no chance that anyone would've died at all, unless they choked on an olive or something. The Hindenburg is actually a great success story, because even when the absolute worst thing imaginable happened, 60% survived.

@@jeschinstad idk then man Google it

I guess it's one of the greatest... By volume? And visuals.

@@s3dchr No, there are several bigger ones captured on camera. In Tenerife in 1977, two fully fueled 747s crashed on the runway. Much, much worse in every possible way and also more spctacular because it's a high speed collision with a following giantic fireball.

The skeleton of the Hindenburg was aluminium, not steel.

One comment is plenty, it's not a live chat.

The modern theory is the guide ropes for laid in the mud, sucking up water, which then allowed them to act as grounding rods for lightning, zap crackle BOOM

@@magoshighlands4074 yes sure, but my point is where are those missing frames from the original footage

??? no

hmm it was my best guess. what do you think it is

The consistency of the liquid they showed a few seconds later certainly fits glycerin. It's definitely a logical possibility. At least that's the stuff my chemistry teacher used back in the early 90'ies.

no. no one. not even you.

Crocs DO run, but they are a lazy species of animal. They can run really fast if they really wanted you in their maw. Problem is that these crocs in this are mostly fed and full, giving them no incentive to go at an alarming speed.

35:26 he says that here

our saltwater crocs are our northern deterrent. Thats why in WW2 the japanese only tried air attacks. If they sent ships they'd all be sunk by the wildlife long before they reached shore
