PrincessHolly Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 That's not what happened when they did it with an actually boat and actual people in Mythbusters. You should check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 It wasn't about the suction, it was because the petrol forms an imiscible layer on top of the water, and if that caught fire you'd be fucked. It'd probably be bad to swallow and rubbish for exposed skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 although, if it doesn't burn and doesn't sink and you've swum miles away from it, you'll not get scooped up by the rescue scoop, so you'l be fucked anyway! /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Mog Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 8 out of 17, nae good. For the airplane one I'd definitely get the inflatable boat, there could be sharks in the water and they would kill me going by my answers there!

Paulscoconutass Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The real boat they used weighed 9 tons. Several resealable holes were put in the boat. Since Jamie is a dive master and has done thousands of dives' date=' he wears SCUBA gear during the boat tests. Adam has safety lesson but gets no gear. After the boat sinks, it will be pulled back up with a crane. They sink the Mythtanic twice and do not get pulled under.[/quote']In a school fish tank with a standard grade class... Or in a harbour, with a real boat, and a team of Special FX guys from Hollywood? It even says in the quiz "your biggest threat is jet fuel."Read it again...
